Wiki days


When you live abroad, you might find it easier to experiment with living, because you have already broken your routine. For example, you might designate a day to looking up on Wikipedia all the things that made you go, "I wish I knew more about..."

This week:
World War I and II
Arabic -- syllabic or time-based?
New Zealand
vestigial organs
