Friday Fiver for Oct. 11

1. If you could live in any city in the world, where would you live and why?
The problem is I've only visited cities, not lived there. If we're talking about big cities, then it would be 1) San Francisco, 2) Chicago, 3) London, 4) New York, or 5) Edinburgh. If just "city as in a place I'd love to live," then South Lake Tahoe.

2. If you could

Here are my answers:

1) That's a good question - if money was no object, I'd move back to Chicago, to live near the city, not in the city.
2) Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Italian.
3) It was a long time ago, back when I was in junior high, with my grandparents in Niagara Falls.
4) The longest plane ride is definitely from Dulles, Washington to Heathrow Airport in London, England - I did NOT get any sleep during that entire plane ride.
5) Eostia.

I also flew from Dulles to Heathrow. That was the second leg of my flight, the first being Phoenix to Dulles. I know I slept a tiny bit on the flight after very little the night before, but we landed in London at 6AM and were delirious but also like OK LET'S GOOOOOOOO :)

Oh ... you have German ancestry? I didn't know that.

[ringsandcoffee]

Yup. A bunch of my dad's side of the family (dad, 2 uncles, his mom, and a bunch of cousins) came from Germany I'd say around 1950. I think he was around 15 years old.

Do you know where from?

I don't know. My dad didn't really like to talk about life there, but my uncles told my cousins. I'll have to ask them where they lived.
