11. Most over her family is in the states
I go to Illinois to visit them once a year. That's where the closest members of her family are.

There is a slim chance I could get a job back in Europe someday.

Believe you me, If I had a chance to head back over there, I'd be on it like black eyes on peas.

14. Since I lived short term in the States I dreamed about living there
now with * and the neo-cons in power I am having second thoughts about it. I know that when I stay together with my bf and marry him, I will move with him wherever he is going. He doesn't like Germany not too much, but it is possible that it has to do with his job (which sucks). But he is trying to extend his entlistement here. If that works out * should be out of office when the times come to move :)

15. Most Def
Actually I'd love to be back in Germany, especially in the west. The Ruhr or Frankfort.

I miss the Autobahn the most

16. Frankfurt is where I live
and I will hit the Autobahn either tonight or tomorrow again. Going to my aunt. But the highest speed I can go with my Polo is 160 km/h

17. I bet you stay on the right
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 07:34 AM by MrScorpio
160KPH isn't too fast when dealing with Porsches or even Golfs.

That was my normal cruising speed in my old Benz.

I did hit 200kph a few times, downhill though

Edit: Franfurt is a cool town. Great Walkplatz

19. Oh I am on the left lane rather often
I can't stay on the right lane where they only drive 120 or so. Drives me nuts ... lol

I think I hit one time the 200 km/h with my moms car (Audi A4). But it scared me. I try to drive "only" 160, with my moms car I get up to 180. But that is the highest where I don't feel like losing control over the car.

21. It was rough on my old Benz to go over 160
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 07:40 AM by MrScorpio
Now my current car, if I were to take it over, I'll pick up some higher speed rated tires before I'd go anywhere near 160.

I've got one of these

25. I think about taking the side roads with the top down
Winding hills passing through the pretty towns and also the French Riviera

Then hitting the big towns like Luxembourg City, Brussels and Amsterdam.

27. Wow! that nice looking
I bet it's nice and quiet, and everybody knows each other.

I didn't know about that place when I was there.

But then again, I was very happy to find my ass in Holland as much as possible

30. looks like the weather gets rainy over the weekend
yes, Switzerland is expensive, but there are some things that are cheaper. Gas for example. When I lived in the Black Forrest (Lörrach, near Basel), I used to go to Switzerland to get gas.

I pm'd you by the way

39. We don't cook a lot of European
Edited on Thu Mar-24-05 08:26 AM by MrScorpio
Some red cabbage and frikadel on occasion.

If any European, Italian. I love that the the most.

The thing I miss the most is Doner Kebabs.

You can only find them few and far between in the states.

Mmmmm, Magnum bars

40. Italian is one of my favorites also
don't eat that much Döners though. Are there no Greeks or Turks in the States that could sell Gyros or Döner? Maybe that is a business idea you can pick up :)

20. That's one way to put it. Here's a kid-friendly version.
Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street

Come and play
Everything's A-OK
Friendly neighbors there
That's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street

It's a magic carpet ride
Every door will open wide
To Happy people like you--
Happy people like
What a beautiful

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame street...

How to get to Sesame Street

How to get to...



And for another type of kid:

Baa Baa Baa
Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa
Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa

Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa
Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa Baa
