I seriously think that every website needs to either have an english version or a translation. It is so irritating to surf websites and then not being able to read anything on them because they are in a foreign language.
For example, I was researching on foreign TV companies and I didnt have much problems with the Japanese media save their english versions were slightly short and lacking in information. But I wasnt able to read a single thing when i surfed the taiwanese websites. What was worse was that it wasnt in simplified mandarin. Unfortunately I dont see how that would have helped me at this moment.
I'm desperately trying to get an internship either in Taiwan or Japan. However, my language skills for either Nihongo or mandarin isnt anywhere near acceptable. I'm giving myself a year to try learn mandarin. As i told Fion, I'm not asking much, just to master her mother tongue.
In any case, anyone who can help me in any of my problems do feel free to contact me :) Help would be most appreciated.
And the election results fr Malaysia is officially out. And boy was it a shocker. The opposition now control 5 states primarily in the north including Kedah, Perak, Penang, Kelantan and the Selangor which was a huge shock given its proximity to the federal territories whilst the sounthern states continued to be BN strongholds. I think Anuar Ibrahim is one hell of a leader to be able to unite such a fragmented opposition. Oh wells, Malaysian politics will never be boring again after this.
