Friday 5
From fridayfiver:
1. Turn your head to the right -- what do you see?
Palmtrees, blue sky, sun, 2 women walking along.
2. Stand-up -- do you like how tall you are?
I do like how tall I am {5'8"/1.73m} even though another inch or so wouldn't hurt.
3. Do you believe in heaven or hell?
Not in the religious way. I think we either all end up in the same place, or come back in some form.
4. What is your favorite piece of jewelry?
I have a great appreciation for antique and ethnic jewelry, especially Middle Eastern and European.
5. What is the last thing you took from someone else?
Took? I have no idea.

From altfriday5:
1. Which country or countries are you a citizen of? How did you attain that citizenship (birth, naturalization, inheritance)
Germany.
2. For which countries do you have a passport? Have you ever had trouble getting a passport?
Germany/EU. Ehhh, no. No trouble.
3. Have you ever needed to apply for special permission (i.e., visas or other clearances) to enter another country? If yes, tell us a bit about it.
Sure. Needed a Green Card to live and work in the USA and got one. Luckily most countries visited as a tourist do not require any visas from German/EU citizens. I do not plan on getting US citizenship even though I could.
4. Have you ever had trouble entering a country (couldn't get a visa, turned back at the border, etc.)? If yes, tell us a bit about it.
No, never and I've been around quite a bit.
5. Have you ever had trouble leaving a country (lost your passport with your entry stamp, not accepted back by your country of residence, etc.)? If yes, tell us a bit about it.
No.

From thefridayfive:
1. What is your all time favorite book?
I could never pin it down to just one or even 10. See my current journal entries for more on the topic - heh.
2. What is your all time favorite movie?
Similar to answer #1 but a tad easier. I shall make a list once I have 5 hours to spare.
3. What are you reading right now?
See today's journal entry.
4. What is your favorite show on tv?
I like shows that are in some way concerned with history, science, travel, nature, anthropology, sociology, marine biology, geography, geology, health, life & style, subcultures, alchemy, metaphysics, and different countries, cultures and lifestyles.
5. What is the last movie you saw in the theater?
"Magnifico"
