That's how I would put last week in two words. First there was the first manned space flight by China, which became the third contry to actually send a human being into outer space and bring him safely back to the ground. Most people here didn't pay much attention... some called it a great achievment, others called simply said "been there, done that!" while rivals like the Indian scientists, who's country has an active and mostly succesful space program too, ridiculed the whole thing by saying that sending humans into outer space is a waste.

Then, there were the "anti-semitic" remarks by Malaysian PM Mahatir at the OIC summit. He simply put that the world was being controlled by the Jews through proxy. That was a kinda shocker to me personally, I mean everyone talks about it as if it were a secret fact, but no one has ever actually said it public before. His remarks drew immediate criticism, and one Israeli ambassador even compared him to Hilter. What we forgot was that he did atleast condemn terrorism and hate.

During all this, I managed to do good on two major tests, and that's something that I hadn't really expected, just like I didn't expect the Malaysian PM to gave the kind of speech he did. That's the world these days I guess.

And what's this? a Burger Kind in Baghdad...
