Your telepathic powers are improving, grasshopper. Vodalus Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 12:25:09 AM
Let's assume you can understand the language and enough of the cultural situation to not end up looking like an idiot every three minutes.

Where?

Do you have a specific reason, or is it more that you don't know enough about them and that's the intriguing bit?


I was totally going to make a post pretty much just like this, save it was going to be for a year instead of a week and the participants would be working for their respective governments. "Secondment" was the succinct and silly title I had in mind.

I'm going to go with Iran, too. It's one of those countries which our media limns in very incomplete and simplistic ways.
南無阿弥陀仏!
