		<title>Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It took me longer than I expected, but I finally managed to finish the second Harry Potter book in German. What was different from the Finnish book was that in the German version, almost all of the characters have retained their original names, even muggles are called Muggeln.
The next book will Harry Potter e o [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harry Potter ja viisasten kivi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Two and half months ago I made a promise to go through the Harry Potter series and read each book in a different language. I&#8217;m happy to announce that I have just completed the first one in Finnish and yesterday ordered Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens from Amazon.de.
In the beginning, when I encountered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cafes to Work At in Stockholm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Viking Line offered me a cruise from Helisnki to Stockholm and back for just 2 euros, so I decided to take advantage of that and at the same time try to get as much work done as possible. I already had 12 completely distraction free hours on the boat, so what I needed were places [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Harry Potter Challenge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I was in a local Prisma when I stumbled upon a Finnish edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#8217;s Stone. I opened it on a random page and it seemed quite easy to read, so I decided to buy it. Just to practice my Finnish and also maybe understand a bit, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Learning Finnish: The Geek Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have now been learning Finnish for 2 months and, because of its similarity to Estonian, also making some progress. Yesterday I attended a Finnish sauna event, where I was the only foreigner and I managed to communicate for a few hours almost exclusively in Finnish. Obviously, I made a lot of mistakes and I [...]]]></description>

		<title>A nice inconsistency in Finnish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am currently studying Systems Biology at Aalto University in Finland and as a consequence I am also trying to learn the Finnish language. Sometimes it can be very confusing, because although Estonian and Finnish are quite similar, there are also many false friends &#8211; similar words that mean completely different things.
The best pair that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>New domain and RSS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Estonia has decided that starting from the next year,  owning a kaur.pri.ee domain is going to to cost me at least 285 EEK (~20 EUR) a year. As a result, I a have moved my home page (and this blog) to kauralasoo.net. The old address still works, but it redirects back to here.
For everybody who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heidelberg: Episode 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another very interesting week has passed. So here are three new snippets from Deutschland.
Buying from the Internet
One of the things that I really like about being in Heidelberg is that it is located in Germany, which means that it is big enough market for companies like Amazon or Google to actually care about it. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>First Impressions at Heidelberg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In January I applied for ISCB Student Council internship at Schneider Lab at EMBL (Eurpean Molecular Biology Laboratory) Heidelberg. Luckily I was selected and now I am spending the first days of the five months in Heidelberg, Germany. So what have I noticed so far?
Heidelberg
Heidelberg is a nice small town near Frankfurt. As somebody said, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salvestavast sõnaraamatust veelkord</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Umbes aasta tagasi kirjutasin ma sellest, kuidas ma tõlkimise juures käsitsi sõnade väljakirjutamisest ära tüdinesin ja ühe hästi koleda veebirakenduse valmis kirjutasin. Kuna see sõltus otseselt aluseks olnud veebisõnastiku ülesehitusest ja väljanägemisest, siis loomulikult jõudis ühel hetkel kätte ka hetk, millal ta katki läks (millal see juhtus, seda ma tegelikult ei teagi).
Nüüd aasta võrra vanema [...]]]></description>
