Lin Yu Chun participated in a Taiwanese version of the American Idol called Super Star Avenue, singing the song I will always love you by Whitney Houston. I’ll keep it short: his version of the song is [...]

South Africans making fun of Americans fo’ sho

Posted on 19 March 2010 by Codrin Arsene

Hilarious ad coming out of South Africa and with a pretty interesting message. A local tour operator wants to attract Africans for their amazing getaways. Message: “They [to be read, in the context, ignorant Americans] are exploring our country. Why don’t you?”

Romanian skying in the capital

Posted on 29 January 2010 by Codrin Arsene

One of my fellow citizens had an amazing idea: he decided to sky in the capital of Bucharest, literally in the middle of the road. This short clip made waves in Romania and I think it’s pretty interesting to watch. How would you like to sky in the heart of your city?

Ethiopian Airline Crashes Into The Sea

Posted on 26 January 2010 by Codrin Arsene

90 people lost their lives in a EA plane crash two days ago. My most sincere condolences go to the families affected by this tragedy. It is only the third fatal accident in Ethiopian Airlines’ history, the largest airline in Africa.

Awesome quote of the day

I’m going through my research material from Uganda as I’m preparing to write my masters thesis. I just came across one of the most hilarious quotes on my tapes. Check this out (it’s by a woman craft maker):

 

A  man who speaks and gives orders is that who has money to meet the needs of his wife. But if a man cannot fulfill those duties, then he is not a man after all, right? He’s just a nagging woman with a penis.

This Vanguard reportage deserves to be seen.

I don’t normally post things that are not Africa-related but this young man from Taiwan is simply amazing. Lin Yu Chun participated in a Taiwanese version of the American Idol called Super Star Avenue, singing the song I will always love you by Whitney Houston. I’ll keep it short: his version of the song is clearly better than what Mrs. Houston is capable of singing right now. Some dubbed him the “Susan Boyle of Taiwan” and there might just be something of this young man. Check it out yourselves. I’m sure you’ll be surprised as well.
