People say we should count ourselves lucky to be born in such rich countries, with clean water, no malaria, and on and on. But tonight I'm appreciating how lucky it was to be born at the cultural epicenter of the world.

I'm looking at publishing companies in other nations, and wanting to talk them into carrying my game. My cultural offering. And I'm looking at their catalogs, and it's all things from far away. "World of Hobbies" in Russia brags only about carrying games that started their lives as English language ones. Lautapelit in Finland, the same. Coming from English, it's only one step to translate my ideas into any other language. This is the hub language. If I'd been a Finn or a Russian, wanting to share my creations, they'd have been converted to English first. Two translation steps. Exponentially more barrier to bringing one's creations to the world.

It's not fair, really.

ateh:
One of the things I liked most about it was seeing what Mr. Ateh got from it. Mobile high society looks like fairy princess land to me, and I first see the sparkles even when the filmmaker is concentrating on the warts. You must admit the celebration had many sparkles. However, Mr. Ateh's first comment afterwards was something along the lines of the film showing exactly the things he hated about the South - they looked so stressed out and unhappy like they were bound to their traditions unwillingly. Something like that. I think the last three years have exposed us both to a very different kind of South than we would like. Anyway, I'm glad it finally showed up and I enjoyed it.
