| Powow Agenda | Jul 22, 2006 |
As I am just getting started in translation (FR>ENG), how about some talk about this? Any other beginners out there? Also, translators are frequently grumbling about poor pay rates. Could we discuss improving the prestige of our honourable profession? Peter Enright.

HI everybody! People ask accomodation in Melbourne and I am not the right person to advice, as live here and have not tried it. Go to Google and search b ackpackers or budget accomodation and you will get a lot of choices. The observatory is near the Botanic Gardens (South Side). Melbourne has trams so even if you are not near T.O. it will be easy to get there.

Can I please have some directions? I arrive very early (9.00 AM) at the Airport and will catch a bus into the CBD, but wouldn't have a clue how to get from there to the observatory. Have a street directory, and an eye for the picturesque - will walk. What time are we starting? Also, although he hasn't put himself on the list, Ali Darwish will be coming as well, and maybe somebody from E-Translate (Karen Yu most probably). Both are on Proz, but both only heard of it from me yesterday. I may a... See more Can I please have some directions?

As soon, that is, as I know where I am going or coming.
Hope to hear from you soon.
