Good to Hear From You

I appreciate it. Soon I should have a land line set up (why are things so annoying here sometimes) and then I can give you a call sometime. It's really cheap for me to call the states, albeit the time difference is slightly annoying (I'm 6 hours ahead).

Not too much to report this time. No huge trips or anything too new. I guess that means that I am started to get settled in here. At the same time, I hate routines so I will probably have something new for you soon. Meeting new friends is slow going as my German still sucks (it's getting better) and I work most of the day. But I have a new roomate coming soon and I'll soon try meeting some people that live around me (now I live in a student dorm).

Let's see. I got a haircut finally. Last week supposedly I never was in the Netherlands, still Germany. It was fun, did some rowing and relaxing and met some people. This weekend I will be going sailing from Friday to Sunday, for sure in the Netherlands this time. All this travelling is getting expensive, maybe next weekend I'll take it easy and just go drinking. :) Nate, I don't think it is a French, Aussie or Dutch thing, more like a non-American thing. In Germany also, I am always the one to go home first - say 4:30 am. People are still out, dancing, speaking German, friday and sat and maybe Thursday too. Not that I have a whole lot to do the next day, it just gets boring after say 6 hours. Beer is damn good though.

So, that;s really about it for now. If you have any specific Q's, let me know.

later (spaeter)
