Hi Indika,

just started to review the English translation you posted on your blog.
Google translate has a long way to go before it's suitable for anything else
than getting a slight overview of the content of an article in your native
language...

And some laughable translations as well, which really can give the wrong
impression. Listen to this:
"But they are really all Asians (here come the prejudices in): small
individuals..."
While the Norwegian text actually says: more collectivists than
individualists... (again, about the prejudice I had on Asia).

Other sentences have the exact opposite meaning when translated than
intended in Norwegian...

I'll provide a translation for you instead.

:-))
