		<description><![CDATA[There’s been a long gap since the last update of Where’s Matthew, but that is because my new role has kept me largely office-based over the past few months.  We had an invitation this weekend to visit Troyes, outside Paris, to celebrate the 50th birthday of Aude’s godfather.  After weeks of 35C+ temperatures, the weather [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our first night out in Istanbul was a bit of a mixed bag, as we clearly struggled with both language difficulties and cultural norms. Based on the recommendation of the concierge at the hotel, we headed down to the harbour to find a restaurant. We didn&#8217;t have a specific place in mind, but we were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s my last day in Singapore for a couple of weeks. I&#8217;m headed to Paris tomorrow to spend the weekend with Aude, then off to Istanbul for two weeks on business. The plan is that all of her friends will meet in Paris to celebrate her 30th birthday, but the party may turn out to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure that I&#8217;ll ever get my head around life in Singapore. News in this morning&#8217;s Straights Times described how a man was stopped by police for dropping a cigarette butt. Rather than face the shame of arrest, he ran away from the police and jumped 15m to his death. Meanwhile, life has a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it any wonder I want to move to Thailand? Last time I was here, the receptionist at the dentist&#8217;s office was adamant that I looked like Tobey McGuire from Spiderman. Today, my client&#8217;s secretary was adamant that I looked like Superman. We were clearly separated at birth. It&#8217;s no wonder the Thai women are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m slowing making inroads into the role of &#8216;global traveller&#8217;. I still find it slightly surreal being 15 hours ahead of the US (essentially knowing how the day&#8217;s going to end before my family and friends even know how it&#8217;s going to begin). I installed Skype for the first time today, and I find myself [...]]]></description>
