We should now end this discussion here, because it's getting off-topic from language learning and it's Iversen's log.

I have only met 'officials' mensa members at arrangements of the open house type, and it seemed to me that they were more than usually interested in games and riddles, but given which strange subjecs I'm interested in they probably behaved less strange than I do.
Let's let that discussion rest.

On a final note, perhaps -- I must confess that I used to be a member of Mensa. No one
has ever called me a snob and none of the members I met ever behaved in a way that I'd
call snobbish, whether in the presence of non-members or in their absence. Mensans live
regular lives, the vast majority of them are married with non-members, and are fully
capable of understanding that membership only reflects one facet of their lives and
personalities, and that it defines neither their worth nor that of others around them.

DK: I dag på min kurs dansk fortælde min polyglot lærer dansk som er også underviser mathematik at han vil give en foredrag på fysik i (men ikke i Krefeld). For mig er interessant at vide at han er meget interesseret i naturvidenskab.

ESP; Mi nun ricevis mian membriĝon plastiko-karton por la Esperanto klubo, sed ankoraŭ ne miajn nirajn paperojn por la kongreso. Tamen estas ankoraŭ pli ol unu monato antaŭ la kongreso, tial mi estas ankoraŭ ne panikanta. Mi elspezas la atendan tempon legando esperantajn tekstojn, ekzemple tekstojn presajn de Lernu.net. Kiom de la diskutoj estas malenuigaj. Ekzemple ili havis diskutiton de kiuj estis la unua virino: Eva aŭ Lilith,. Ili ankaŭ diskutitis klarajn revojn. Sed unu da la plej interesaj diskutoj estiĝis, ĉu pli multaj homoj scios Esperanton aŭ Latinon. La respondo estas kompreneble, ke malmultaj hodiaŭ parolas Latinan, sed multaj povas legi kaj traduki de Latina. Aliflanke, tiuj, kiuj lernas Esperanton verŝajne ankaŭ lernos paroli ĝin. Mi ne scias la absolutajn nombrojn.
I have received my membership card to the Esperanto organisation, but not yet the papers I need for the congress (which is my only reason for becoming a member). While I wait I read things from the internet, for instance from the forum of the site lernu.net. Here they have for instance discussed whether Eve or Lilith was the first woman, and they have discussed about lucid dreaming. But they also sometimes touch upon linguistical themes, for exemples in a case where somebody asked whether there are more people who know Latin than Esperanto. I don't know the absolute numbers, but it is clear that most of those who learn Latin never learn to speak it. On the other hand those who learn Esperanto probably also learn to speak it. So it is difficult to make a fair comparison.
En este momento estoy escuchando TVE en español.

ESP: Iversen, cxu vi volas mendi hotelon aux ekskursojn? Por mendi tion, vi povas fari tion rekte interrete. Vi nur bezonas entajpi en la reta aligxilo:
- vian kongresnumeron
- vian UEA-kodon
- vian retadreson
Mi scias pri tio, cxar mi hodiaux mendis mian hotelon. Mi kaj mia kunvojagxantino ne partoprenos la oficialajn ekskursojn.

Mi jam havas rezervitan hotel-ĉambron por la unuaj tagoj (ĝis la ekskurso tago - mi ne bezonas iu ajn al organizi tio por mi), sed ne dum la lastaj duono de la periodo. Ĉion dirite, mi ne scias tamen ĉu tia kongreso estas enuiga - sekve mi ne rezervo nun. Mi nur volas esti 100% certa, ke mi povas eniri la halon kie la evento prenas lokon!

ESP: Cxar vi nek konas la kongresojn nek la Esperanto-movadon nek vian nivelon kompreni tutajn prelegojn en Esperanto mi komprenas vian decidon mendi nur hotelon por duona kongreso. Versaxjne dum la kongreso mem (povas esti, ke alvenos 2500 esperantistoj!) cxiuj hoteloj en Kopenhago estos plenplenaj. Tiel la situacio estis dum la UK en Rotterdamo. Cetere, ni ankoraux ne trovis "Bella Center" sur la mapo, bedauxrinde.
