		<description><![CDATA[ Just received a message from a very good friend of mine who is visiting her parents in Italy. She flew there successfully with Iberia Airlines&#8230; unfortunately her baggage preferred to go to Madrid&#8230; From Alessandra: Very jet lagged! Just making sure I got it&#8230; And testing yr patience! And, be nice, cause I am still in distress for Iberia losing my luggage. I am wearing my mum&#8217;s clothes From me: Hi Alessandra, Hmmm&#8230; A couple of points come to mind here. Re: Iberia. I flew with them in about 1979 from Barcelona (or should I say Barthelona) to Athens. After checking in, all the passengers were then herded onto transit [...] <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://www.captivebrains.com/434/iberia-airlines-we-dont-really-do-baggage/">Iberia Airlines &#8211; We don&#8217;t Really DO Baggage</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I admit it, I’ve been spoiled. Flying for the past ten years around Asia had lulled me into a kind of weary contempt. Planes that take off as advertised, cabin attendants who at least pretend to experience human emotions, brisk boarding and deplaning procedures, movies that are still showing in the cinemas, business class amenities that are actually amenities, food and drink that doesn’t stop until you raise your trembling hand and cry ‘Enough!’. All these things I had taken for granted… How does that saying go? ‘You don&#8217;t miss your water til your well runs dry’?

		<description><![CDATA[This post is in memory of a man whose name I never knew. As I’ve never learned to speak Chinese, although I have lived in Taiwan for more than ten years (what are families for if not to translate?), and realizing early on that in this almost village like environment of Tainan I was sticking out like a gum tree in a rice paddy, I decided that my best demeanor would be a smiling, friendly manner; that way at least I would be casting a beneficent glow instead of looking like what I was – a unassimilated, linguistically-challenged alien. This has worked [...] <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://www.captivebrains.com/417/in-memoriam/">In Memoriam</a></span>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday our cat, Cookie, came back into the house after having been out terrorizing the neighborhood strays. If you lived in Taipei you would know that for Cookie this is a full time job demanding a great deal of her attention. Last year was easier for her because there was one huge stray tomcat in the area that controlled the entire block with a vengeance. That cat was really tough! One night it was outside our bedroom window yowling loudly for ages. Even though I opend the window and yelled back at it and made lots of (what I thought) &#8220;scary to a cat&#8221; noises this thing just [...] <span style="color:#777"> . . . &#8594; Read More: <a href="http://www.captivebrains.com/411/my-cat-is-turning-into-a-duck/">My Cat is Turning Into a Duck</a></span>]]></description>
