Can't actually recall such situation.

Some sort of saving animals... I guess.

I don't recall one. But my gramps used to tell me, always look on the bright side and believe in yourself.

5. What is one thing that have you learnt recently?

I have learnt that I need more personal space than I can get atm.

1. Write down 3 towns that have had some impact on your life. Please explain.
Ankara, Balıkesir, Ankara, Istanbul
The city that I was born,
the city I'd spent most of my childhood and teenage years,
the city that I turned back to study at the university,
and the most beautiful city in the World with its cosmopolitan character.
2. Can you recall a situation when you completely lost control? What happened?
I stepped on a soap.
I'm still alive.
And no, I didn't hit my head.
3. If you were to work as a volunteer for a certain period of time what sort of activities would you do?
Any Greenpeace activity would do. They are good guys, I believe.
4. Does your family have a saying or a phrase that you yourself also keep repeating? What is it?
My father says "Be wise"
He could be more creative maybe, but maybe he has never tried?
5. What is one thing that have you learnt recently?
That I have a twin sister.
Not really.
I learn many new things in a week, so I usually don't remember what they were. I absorb them like a kid.
Hmm.. let me think about it more... and maybe I'll turn back to it later.

1. Write down 3 towns that have had some impact on your life. Please explain.
Warsaw - for the same reason as Andrzej above.
Paris - because I feel at home there, the architecture, the people and the clubs suit my taste.
Monaco - if I have any life goals, one of them is to life there for the cold part of the year.
2. Can you recall a situation when you completely lost control? What happened?
>
It was at a party in 2005. The lawyer girl I dated sneaked off to the kitchen to French-kiss a hairy graphic designer. I hit the latter, stormed out of the flat, and drove a drunken night race home.
3. If you were to work as a volunteer for a certain period of time what sort of activities would you do?
>
I would work for the benefit of WWII veterans, including poor SS devils, whom nobody likes.
4. Does your family have a saying or a phrase that you yourself also keep repeating? What is it?
"Już taki jestem zimny drań", as the song has it. :)
5. What is one thing that have you learnt recently?
Understeer can be deadly on junction ramps.

Namysłów - I was born there and I spent there half of my live
and Poznań - I live there nowadays;
London - but it's difficult to explain;

Generally it happens, when I meet mad drivers on the road. Then I have to pull over and count at least to ten.

One can only hope that Bernd can reconquer it with the help of his U-Boot.Adam L. edytował(a) ten post dnia 30.01.09 o godzinie 11:49

Must've been, yes, up until the late 60s. Then it went downhill to reemerge in the last few years.

My folks have a huge collection of old postacrds and photos of Stolp.

1. Write down 3 towns that have had some impact on your life. Please explain.

Brilon, born there, determined me.
Bamberg, studied there, shaped me.
Warsaw, living there, wrecks me.
2. Can you recall a situation when you completely lost control? What happened?

Although I'm German, I'm not a control freak. Nevertheless, I never really lost control. Well, if you count in nervous breakdowns, I had a couple. Unfortunately. Succumbing to stress.
3. If you were to work as a volunteer for a certain period of time what sort of activities would you do?

Teach politicians how to do politics. They really need our help.
4. Does your family have a saying or a phrase that you yourself also keep repeating? What is it?

I was brought up in a house with four generations living there. So I got lots of sayings and proverbs and idioms many people don't even know any more. But we never had like THE family one, or I simply can't recollect.
5. What is one thing that have you learnt recently?

That it's not easy living abroad tax-wise. Now Poland and Germany both want money. Darn!
