Bilbao or bust ...



I arrived in Bilbao Spain this morning. I'm attending and speaking at the "Present and Future of Recommender Systems".  I took a few photos and uploaded them to Flickr.  Check them out at my Recommender 06 flickr page.

When I was preparing for this trip my two teenage daughters, Cari and Liz were helping me learn some Spanish phrases (I never took a Spanish course).  When I got here I  was rather surprised to see all of the signs were printed in a language that was definitely not Spanish:



Hmmm, I wonder if Cari and Liz know any  Basque phrases?

Uffff... no way, don't even dare to try! Basque is different from any other language in the world, even we Spaniards are completely unable to identify a single word :-) I'm not Basque, but you can try "Egunon" (eh-goo-non) tomorrow to say hi (it means "good morning"), and any Basque around will get it and surely appreciate it :-) See you tomorrow!
