Planes Trains & Automobiles

C) Four places:
"Old house" in Cottbus East Germany

This old house and new house thing is the nomenclature we use in our family. Old house is the apartment my parents moved in with their first son in 1981 (I arrived in 1983), we stayed there until 1991. Moved then into "new house" as we call it now, a bigger flat with room for the 3rd child.

The latter 2 refer to shared flats I have lived in, one in my university city proper, the other in Berlin where I still live right now.

D) Four TV shows:
Any Star Trek (mostly TNG and DS9)
Simpsons
Family Guy
news show on public channels (don't laugh!)

E) Four vacations:
China
UK
France
Norway

Went to Southern France with the family when I was 11, stayed at some rent-a-tent place in Antibes, visited Monaco and Nizza and Cannes, good time there.

Norway when I was about 14, great landscape, lots of relaxing time.

Went to the UK in 2003 to meet Apolytoners and travel the country with PH. Had a great time there

To China with Chinese course mates + teacher, 3 weeks of meeting people, practising some gongfu and taiji with some local master and trying lots of foods.

F) Four websites:
www.spiegel.de German news site
http://apolyton.net/forums this place
www.studivz.net German students network site
www.gmx.de my email account

G) Four foods:
Beijing kaoya
any stew cooked by yours truly
any pasta with red sauce cooked by yours truly
chocolate fudge cake in the UK

H) Four places I'd rather be:
Zaragoza Spain because it would mean this troublesome week was over already
wherever my ex is now because I want to meet her again
can't think of any more places I'd rather be at.
