		<description>You are welcome and thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog as well.  

Don&#039;t feel too bad, your Japanese is probably better than mine, and I have lived here for over 1.5 years - I am just a senile old man :D

(Don&#039;t ask how much German I know after working and living in Boebligen for 4 months.)</description>

		<description>I guess I had very high expectations as I thought &quot;The World is Flat&quot; was one of the best books I read.  Actually, I did enjoy this book also, and the topic (like all his previous books) is certainly timely and important.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed the book - his vision of the future (which he also says is here if we want it) is quite fascinating.  As for his overuse of expert quotes - that&#039;s his style and I agree - his points get lost as a result.  Everytime I read a Friedman book, I ask myself the same question:  &quot;When is this guy going to get an editor?!&quot;</description>
