I am in an internet shop in Damascus and there is a Czech woman behind me speaking on Skype. She is talking in that awful, bossy, obnoxious Czech way and just now I wish I'd never learned a word of that language because at this moment it makes me want to kill.

Ah! She's gone. Now they're playing a pretty interesting mash-up of "Milkshake" with an Arabic (I think) pop tune.
