What I did today:

Got up at 5.40 (!!!!!) and went to a fitness class with my friend (a bet..I know it's insane)
Went to class 8-11
Went to the library to sit in their couch and read
Got home, made coffee and started on a new book
Went for a long walk
Made (and ate) pizza and drank wine with some friends


And now it's time for a bit of The Simpsons

meatful dreams

so here is my previous day. It was special, as it was 30 hours long...

- woke up at 8am in Beijing
- went down to the hotel lobby, checked out and had some dim-sum breakfast
- took the ABC express train to Beijing Airport Terminal 3
- Relaxed for two hours on a bench listening to birds from the airport speakers and my new rock CD's bought in Beijing.
- Took a walk on the aiport, took some photos, did some window-shopping and checked who are whaiting for the plane to North Korea (apparently 1 passenger and 2 members of the secret police, who were watching me very intrested)
- Took a 10,5 hour flight to Munich, I was watching The Office on my laptop (4 hours, then battery dead) and was reading Asimov (4 hours, then book finished). Spent the reamining time idling and watching the Mongolian-Russian border area near Irkutsk from the window (it is probably the most amazing place on Earth, no settlements seen for 40 minutes while flying)
- Had 20 minutes to transfer in Munich, and there was a problem with my ticket so I was running from assistant to assistant, but catched the plane after all
- Had a loud but boring 1,5 hour flight to BUD on a Dash-8 turbojet
- Had a ride from the aiport home by my father
- I was shocked how small and quiet Budapest is
- Talked with Andi and gave hermy presents brought
- Had a bath and enjoyed that water from the tap is drinkable
- Ordered and ate a pizza with artichokes
- Fell in the bed half-dead at midnight.

Two typical Zakiisms:

- went down to the hotel lobby, checked out and had some dim-sum breakfast

Zak is where Seafood is waiting. 

- Had a bath and enjoyed that water from the tap is drinkable

Flight time gap?
Get from tap
Zaki's best

How do you say 'Sex' in Japanesse?

[Duplode]

Good find - with slightly different proportions it could well pass for a real kanji for the naïve... But Japanese (or Chinese) ideograms can be a bit shocking at times. For instance, I was quite perplexed to find in an online dictionary that this kanji, , which is just the one for "woman" () written three times, is used in the verb "to commit adultery", as well in words for a number of perversions...

Logical.
One symbol = 1 woman, 3 symbols = lots of women = you're not a reliable husband as you go to see many women.
This is the same way that "forest" is represented : 3 times the symbol for a tree = lots of trees = a forest.
Quite simple language, main problem is to learn all these bloody symbols...

3 symbol = lots of women could also mean a lesbian orgy!

Yes, I was aware of that -  just pointing out how in-your-face the ideograms can get at times. Anyway that reminds me: if is too many women, and is a lot of trees, then must be a lot of... things! That kanji is, in fact, a generic suffix for goods or stuff.

Lactalis (FRA) wants to buy Sole-Mizo dairy products company (HUN). If they do, Hungarian dairy market changes hands to French... I'm not really happy about that - it reminds me on another french mammoth, Danone: they f.u.c.k.e.d up my hometown's famous biscuit factory (they moved production elsewhere, mainly to Poland/Czech Republic and to other towns in Hungary, like Székesfehérvár), so now it's 99% dead (producing only mint/anise candies with a few workers).

For info, Danone sold all his biscuits activities to Cadbury last year.
About Lactalis, they are French leaders in cheese market and are growing in the dairy market since they bought the dairy business of Nestle.

Györi Biscuit was killed earlier...

I know, but this is to say that maybe Cadbury will bring back activity in the mentionned plant (even if I don't think so but yet, who knows ?).

Just decided to change my signature. Here's my old one:
"If I had no sense of humor, I would long ago have committed suicide."
