One of the chqllenges of ,oving to q nez country is finding thqt none of the keys qre zhere they should be on the keyboqrd: This cqn cquse no end of proble,s, especiqlly if you touch type:Another noteworthy phenomenon is that web-based programs, such as this blog and facebook, mysteriously change language from time to time. The menus for the blog mainly appear in Dutch, sometimes in French and rarely in English, while facebook offers a zany mix of French menus with French, German and, er, Danish adverts.
I was initially pleased that the Belgian version of facebook doesn't have adverts tailored to my 'lifestyle', e.g. an advert featuring a mostly naked man, encouraging me to partake in a gay ship cruise. Then I spotted the following ad for a 'giant pink pouf at factory price'. Is this someone's idea of a Joke?
