That sounds absolutely wonderful! (Wünderbar, if I may put my German to use a little bit :) ) My favourite bookstore is very much addictive. I'm able to get English paperbacks for 2 euros a piece, which is nice for me but not so nice for my bookshelves as they get fuller and fuller. The bookstore is...

Well, basically the title says it all. What is your favourite music? Do you listen to a certain kind of music or are you someone who just likes it all? Do you have a guilty pleasure, which you will not speak of to anyone but listen to every day? My favourite kind of music is any melodious music, wit...

Wow, that's quite a wonderful story! Are you planning to return to Indonesia? tbarron wrote: The memories I have from the time I got to travel and live abroad are very valuable to me.
