		<title>Flying Off</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The day has finally come. I can hardly believe it. In a few short hours, I will be on a flight to&#8230;Incheon, South Korea, followed by a long transit before finally arriving at SFO. I will spend the next four years at Stanford and hopefully graduate with a few pieces of laminated paper. My mind [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip Report: Scandinavia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Scandinavia is not the most exciting place in the world but it has some beautiful sights. I spent ten nights last month in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland with my trusty Canon 400D and these are the results.

		<title>Spice and Magic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After disappearing off the face of this Earth for the past two weeks or so, I return from the mythical land known as &#8220;Northern Europe&#8221; to find a package left at my door step. Beware, for mere mortals cannot possibly withstand the power of geek that lies in this post. (...)Read the rest of Spice [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moving House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I am moving soon and I have been spending the past week stacking things (mostly books) into boxes. Sifting through all the stuff I have accumulated in the past ten years really takes me back.

		<title>English Undergrad Programmes in Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toudai&#8217;s Akamon, circa 2008 Once in a while, people tell me that they want to study in Japan. Most of the time, they speak no Japanese. Fortunately for these people, the Japanese government has been actively pushing a programme that will see numerous top Japanese universities offer full undergraduate courses in English. Known as the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The West Wing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like I am forever playing catchup with my sources of entertainment. Half a decade after The West Wing finished airing, I finally took the time to finish all 156 episodes. Seeing as each episode is 42 minutes long, this is on hindsight an incredible waste of my short mortal life, but goddammit it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trip Report: Kagoshima</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the post about my visit to Kagoshima in southern Japan. I am really pushing out these articles at the breakneck speed of a limping three-legged turtle, considering that I was in Japan in early April and so far have written on barely two places. At this rate I should be done around the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Game of Thrones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Games of Thrones, a new HBO medieval fantasy drama series, scratches an itch of mine that had not been properly addressed since Twelve Kingdoms. It is probably the most amazing thing on BitTorrent television right now, edging out Community which lost points in the second season for recycling its best episode from the first season.
