The Bookworm . . .

. . . is the kind of cafe that wouldn't look out of place in Vancouver -- or maybe Portland. It's got walls lined with books (some 14,000 of them, if I recall correctly; I happen to be right beside the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew), good coffee and, best of all, a Christmas tree in a country where Christmas isn't much celebrated.

I'm here for the day, writing. I may be back tomorrow. There is remarkably little book-reading here, though. Everyone has a laptop. And, strangely enough, just about everyone has a Mac.
