that would make you a "cunning linguist!"

*hello hello? is this thing on?*

I really wished I had dated a german girl during my Uni days there...I lived in a boarding house with THREE GIRLS, and even shared a shower with them (not simultaneously...and it's not as sexy as it sounds).

I remember multiple dates during my serial dating phase, lol. But I'm not as bold as you. I spaced my 4 out through the entire weekend ;). The closest call I had was starting brunch at 10 with #3, while #4 texted to confirm our coffee date at 12, haha.

As fun as it was, I don't miss my single days.

As for not dating a German chick, where did you go to University?

I went to school up north, Carl von Ossietzky Universitat in Oldenburg...which is somewhere in the neighborhood of Bremen.

But during my stays (i've been/lived in germany 3x's), I've spent most of my time in Frankfurt am Main. Bavaria is my home away from home :)

Putong...if you're saying what i'm thinking you're saying, lol. guangdong too i guess. i speak cantonese, but i was raised by my grandma (on my mom's side) who's Toi-San, and my aunts (who are Tai-Pan).

I'm actually not full chinese either. I'm also mixed with Vietnamese and Portuguese (can't you tell? lol). And I wanted to make a correction to my above-comment, I'm actually american born from NYC, lol. Went to HS and college in Maryland, and now I'm back up here, slowly learning the ropes of the family business. I went over to Germany in my youth cuz there was a time when I wanted to do international law :). I studied German, English and Int'l business, and was on my way to law school but instead became an Investment advisor for 6-7 years :). Was noch, mein deutsch habe ich fast alles vergessen :).
