I just returned from the congress in Yokohama, my first international Esperanto congress in my short Esperanto life (2+ years) and it was indeed an amazing experience!
Mar@GrupoAmikema.org - mankso, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0You ask this question not even one week after the finish of the week-long 92nd annual World Esperanto Congress in Yokohama/Japan - which attracted 1900 participants from 57 countries, and barely a couple of weeks after the 5th Nitobe Symposium at Sofia University (also in Japan)?! True, the English-language media rarely mention it, but those who do manage to come up with all sorts of bizarre reasons not to support Esperanto, though I have yet to see anyone criticize it on the basis of the seven principles of the Prague Manifesto:

Daily Esperanto radio programs have been available for years from Radio Polonia:

and others, several times per week, from RAI/Italy and Radio Vaticana. Also, there are several vibrant on-line Esperanto discussion groups and blogs, and a constant stream of Esperanto publications, books and magazines. A Google search for 'Esperanto' just a few minutes ago came up with 42,100,000 hits, so something is going on somewhere, mostly unknown to those comfortably ensconced in a unilingual ghetto.
