What has the Belgian celebrity Chef in Black in common with The Swedish Cook? Well, both are famous chefs and both make fun about the language they speak, although I am not sure which one is doing it on purpose…
"The Swedish Cook" was a funny character on the old but great Muppet Show who did everything but cooking.
Therefore they chose Sweden to be his home-country because just admit: what else do you know about Swedish cooking than what you eat in Ikea?
"The Belgian Cook"… is a chef on the AFC or Asian Food Channel. He not only knows about French food, but has his own TV show and restaurants in Singapore. His real name is Emmanuel Stroobant but he prefers to call himself Chef in Black. Look at his picture and you will understand why 
Now for the odd part: Chef in Black is a Belgian yet pronouncing "iz vordz az iv he is a real French…" .
On the show I saw yesterday he really went overboard by saying: you the Chinese and we the French are the only 2 people eating frogs…
We the French … Hello Mr. Emmanuel Stroobant: you are a Belgian you know!
What do we learn from this? That it pays off to learn French accents if you want to become a French chef…
Emmanuel Stroobant is not only a good chef, but he knows how to brand himself very well.
I mean: who will look up if you say you are a Belgian Chef? Yet you get everybody’s attention when you say you are a French Chef loving French food … especially with that peculiar English-French pronunciation of his…
Especially in Singapore: nobody can see if you look French or Belgian, so use a funny accent and pretend you are French to become a celebrity chef in black.

As a student abroad moving every semester from 1 place to another, I know how important a mobile phone connection is.
But if you go to remote places, a mobile phone has no coverage. That’s when you need satellite phones. Actually you don’t even need to be in remote places: look at the news today about the earthquake in China: it’s all brought to you buy satellite phone.
Of course people who use these types of phones are usually people offshore.
If you want to know how useful a satellite phone can be for you, browse to MackaySatellite dot com.
They are worldwide providers of satellite communications equipment, call plans. You can buy or rent Motorola, Nera, Globalstar, Hughes, BEAM, or Thrane satellite communications equipment.
