Welcome to the 4 October 2008 edition of the International Marketer Review.
Last weeks most popular post was Web Video University, with 25% of the overall votes. Let’s see who comes out on top this week.
International Lifestyle
Kristie presents The Housing Shortage In Oslo, Norway posted at Culture Shock saying “If you are looking for a place to live it is really frustrating and difficult to find anything reasonable and you can forget hoping for it to be anywhere near the city center.”
CK presents London’s transport system posted at The musings of a Singaporean in London
Can I leave the meeting now…? posted at The Adventures of a Foreign Salaryman in Tokyo saying “In my little company we regularly hold a manager’s meeting on Monday mornings first thing to check on activities last week and upcoming activities for the week. It’s not a really heavy meeting and each department head goes through anything that other people should/need to be aware of. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it’s a boring affair since it usually is pretty useful, but it hardly is an action packed meeting as far as corporate meetings go.”
Emm presents Morning out: Ikea posted at Emm in London saying “The one thing I have learned (the hard way) in London is that it is very hard to get anywhere by car if you do not have satellite navigation.”
Melble presents A Taste of French Music posted at An American in France saying “I’ve not made many posts here stating my likes and dislikes of things French, so I would kind of like to break into that a bit. I’ve really started to come to like French music. I would like to share with you, some French music that I like.”
KZ Blog presents Russians Love Obama? posted at KZ Blog . saying “I’m curious, is Obama more popular with foreigners? Who do you guys support and why? Is it a question of supporting one candidate or disliking the other candidate?”
Bulgarian Slivatree presents Singing and Dancing Bulgarian Peppers posted at Bulgarian Slivatree saying “Peppers in Bulgaria are barbecued in the main, this is a national pastime in late summer through to the autumn and an event I see every day in the Yambol area. The smell of freshly picked and cooked peppers is unmistakable and for me and many other walking by a home that is cooking peppers on a barbecue, conjures up mix of major jealously and a great deal of dribbling.”
Ann presents Expatriate posted at My Life in Italy saying “Expatriate - noun - A person who lives outside their native country.”
Thomas presents Japanese Parents posted at Hello Mother, Hello Father: saying “I gave my kids their first math test last week. I’ve been watching their work and I thought that they were ready and I don’t believe in coaching for tests either.”
Bas presents Crossing The Bridge - The Sound of Istanbul posted at Dutch student lost in Istanbul saying “I came across a famous 2005 documentary called Crossing The Bridge - The Sound of Istanbul. It shows a lot of the music and culture that Istanbul has to offer, but also captures the daily life quite well.”
Juliana presents Dry… posted at Juliana’s World ~unfiltered: from asia to america~ saying “I noticed a difference in the water here. Ever since we arrived, my skin has gotten dry and now there seem to be zits forming. I hope it’s not going to turn into an acne flare up, because if that happens I will have to start searching for acne cures. How awful would that be?”
CK presents How to Ride Out The Recession In London posted at A Singaporean In London saying “With the failing economy, established financial institutions collapsing and the tumbling of house prices (down 12.5% year on year), it seems that recession is upon us and people are already tightening their belts even though they are not directly affected by the recent financial turmoil.”
