		<description><![CDATA[The day before yesterday, my daughter and her classmates went around visiting homes near their kindergarden. They were delivering their own hand-made thank you cards to those houses that a week earlier had given them water, fruits or money during a local festival dedicated to the deities enshrined in Hakusan Jinja (白山神社：White Mountain Shrine), one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been informed by a friend that La Nación, Costa Rica&#8217;s second most important newspaper, has put a link to a Japanese video on how to get a kid ready for school in five minutes. Within that time the child gets up, eats breakfast, washes his face, brushes his teeth, gets dressed and has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My previous post&#8217;s story about my friend&#8217;s customer service experience made me remember an interesting experience I had last year.

It certainly is drastically different from that which prevails –if it is assumed to exist at all– in Costa Rica. Last weekend my wife and daughter took a trip with my little one&#8217;s best friend and her mother. As is customary in [...]]]></description>
