The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 4,600 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 8 years to get that many views.

This is a very interesting Map showing all the Writing Systems of the World.

The four main one are Latin, Arabic, Chinese and Cyrillic

Than we are having many others like Georgian, Armenian, Greek, Hebrew, Tifinagh, Amharic, Thaana, Mongolian, Japonese, Korean, Yi, Burmese, Lao, Thai, Khmer, Burginese, Sinhala, Tibetan, Oriya, Gurmikhi, Kannada, Devanagari, Telugu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Bengal, Tami, Cherokee, Inuktitut, …

The French expression “impossible n’est pas français” is actually a proverb, equivalent to “there’s no such thing as can’t” or simply “nothing is impossible.” In French, you should never say that something is impossible, because – according to the French proverb – impossible isn’t even a French word. Likewise, in English, you should never say that you “can’t” do something because the concept of “can’t” doesn’t exist. In other words, nothing is impossible and there isn’t anything you can’t do. It would make a good motivational poster in either language (if you’re into that kind of thing).

-His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

“The word impossible is not in the leader’s dictionaries. No matter how big the challenges, strong faith, determination and resolve will overcome them.”

Finally instead of flying from Geneva to Dubai I’m having a fly to Abu Dhabi with Etihad Airways and then an hour and half of bus till Dubai. Weather should be very hot
