The Shifted Librarian: "My parents just got back from two weeks in Belgium and environs. When we talked on the phone tonight, the very first thing they both described was not the beauty of the land, how expensive things were (Euro against the dollar), or even the chocolate. No, the one thing they wanted to talk about first - and which obviously had a quite an impact on them - was the ubiquity of cell phones in that area."
