cambiste I don't think there's any restriction on wearing a bullet proof vest in my country if you can afford it, it's just too crazy to possess one in a no-arms country. To be honest i'm quiet glad its not a free arms country. it's scary to know people walk around...

The new guidelines set by RBI has taken effect from March 1, and seems to completely restrict paypal use in India. They don't allow you to keep funds in your account for more than 7 days, don't allow you to send funds (hence...

cambiste That's really cool. you have no idea how much paypal charges us for converting us$ into local currency. the currency conversion fees is like $1.5 per $50 withdrawn, as they have a 3% "cushioning" of the real-time rates. Recently my withdrawal was refused...

cambiste Same here. Windows (and all OSs of today) has a multi-program, multi-tasking environment, for which i'm really glad. Just imagining the single-process (batch-processing) environment of the (really) old days is distressing. I'm glad computing has come so far.

cambiste in one of the biggest cities of my country, where traffic moves at 10 to 30kmph, i've often seen drivers take phone calls even though its against the rules. moms don't usually like their kids eating and watching TV; you don't taste the food that much effort...

cambiste The new guidelines appeared a few days after the swiss bank issue was on the media. Yes, the 7 days rule is frustrating...it'll be tough for PP as well: they have to keep withdrawing money from all accounts of the world's second populous country into banks...

I have completely finished and watched the entire available episodes of this anime over and over again. It's romantic and funny at the same time. Also, there's that mystery that you would always look forward to seeing how Kyoko...

cambiste Yea, talking about which, Ren hasn't yet opened that gift Kyoko gave him for his b'day - and it was specially ordered too lol. I'm looking forward to that bit.

I've searched throughout the internet about publishing my novel, but now I'm doubting whether I should try at all. I've heard you need to pay agents A LOT of money to get your book on the top of the stack with some publishers. And...

cambiste Small publishers will not want to take responsibility of your book's success. Making copies available in your nearest bookstore cannot be done even if they think the book is really good. Which is also why many good books never appear in the bookstores, but...

cambiste i agree. Being persistent is also a way to finally get though. The really great writers today started their writing careers by publishing small articles in periodicals and not the book they have brought out as New York Best Seller. So start small, but dream...

cambiste Yep, it was strange - mainly because it is one of the oldest manga around - somewhere in 1950s i believe. It's style of drawing is also old and based on England themes.

cambiste i used to prefer that as well. but then i found out that the really popular mangas will take more time to become an anime. so i started reading mangas. xxxholic is also an anime that's a shounen-ai but the manga is no fun. the anime is lol and funny.
