		<description><![CDATA[
At first thought, Pachinko seem to be like the Japanese version of the pinball except that it&#8217;s not. It is actually a cross between a slot machine and a pinball machine. You amass these balls and then you win and if you&#8217;re lucky you get trays full of them. Pachinko is fun and so addictive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Smoking should be banned. At least, that&#8217;s what I feel anyway. Smoking kills not only the smoker but also the people around them. It&#8217;s crazy to be smoking these days when you have other cooler and more addictive activity to do like videogames. :P Just kidding. I know that for smokers, the addiction takes over [...]]]></description>

It can range from a small nod of the head (it means you&#8217;re not very important) to a low 90degree bow (it means you&#8217;re very important). The way [...]]]></description>
