However in mid May (MAY 14th to be precise) I'm expecting a near fatal dose ;D..... ...I must however survive as the expectation is, it seems ,that I will be working non stop reporting on (what my friends tell me here) will be a MOST PLEASANT  experience.. ;D This cracked me up. Sabina - don't worry about reporting all the details. You'll already be stressed out enough from all the activity. ;D |

I mean --- Where else in the world do complete strangers, such as hotel clerks, presume to ask such intimate questions? There's only one correct response. Pull a slinky piece of lingerie out of your suitcase. Explain in excruciating detail to the blushing clerk that you barely slept at all, but that it entirely to be expected after you incited your husband by wearing something like this.   |

Sue, that really is something.  What a special feeling for you. It must feel so good that your white peace dove inspired Yusuf to use it in his art promoting his new tour. I always loved seeing your white dove in flight, it's as if your dove comes to lift a heavy weight from my shoulders. You know Sue, I always thought that you found this dove from some old Cat/ Yusuf art work, or poster, and used it for your avatar, but how about that, it's the other way around. Another small sign that Yusuf or someone from his team do actually visit here. |

Vicki, I was only joking when I said he was using my avatar, the dove of peace has been around long before I ever was, but, when I saw Yusuf, was using it on so many of his posters and CD covers, I did daydream and think that maybe, I could of been an influence.

Maybe it is a dove. This is a ringneck dove, and it does have a rather long bluish beak like Cat's bird:  Did you notice that Cat's great white bird has no tail feathers? Peace, ~Sun~ And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven |

Your treasures may be hard to part with, but what a wonderful way to ease the pain. These would be very special and unique gifts, and Yusuf's grandchildren would be so blessed. After playing with them just a bit, I can imagine the kids' mom putting the yo-yo's up on a shelf to keep them for when the kids are old enough to understand just how special they really are; they represent the way Yusuf's love went out to his fans, multiplied, and has circled (or should I say, "yo-yo'ed") and come back to him and his family. How awesome! |

Have you ever seen out English flannalettes and wincyettes? x I have earned the right to scoff at German culture by being married to a German citizen for 25 years. ;D German food: It is just so difficult to travel in Germany if you're a vegetarian ---which is why, no matter what Yusuf calls it, in my mind, this will always be The Bangers and MashiCat Tour. Flannelettes? My Welsh grandmother would turn in her grave if she knew that I no longer wear those flannel nightgowns that she gave to me each and every Christmas ......... |

I'm sure they will have clean salad type foods too .. somwhere : :)We used to have alittle Greek restaurant near Westbourne Grove in London for a while in the 80's..pity cos you would have been welcome to eat your way through the menu!!! Always welcome to our home though and our meals always have a Greek twist......indeed you should see the excitement when our vines(well only 2, not actually a grove  ) start to have leaves..anticipation of dolmades .........mmmm. I too prefer a lovely Greek style salad,so long as its in a large bowl with olives;but am not averse to trying a real Berliner frankfurter or any authentic fare!! try anything once, me |

"Haben Sie gut geschlafen?" is as automatic as a checkclerk saying "havaaniceday" as he shoves a receipt while scanning the next can of soup. After hearing "Haben Sie gut geschlafen?" hundreds of times, (like I said, I'm married to a German man) the irony expressed by the combination of the intimacy of the question with the formality of the pronoun "Sie" -- the formal form of "you" -- cracks me up every time. It makes me want to tease the speaker in the way I might tease a Texan who says "It's so nice to see y'all" with "Me, myself and I are delighted to see you too!" Out here in the backwaters of Michigan, irony has been known pass for a sense of humor .......... oh well ........ |

You'll find any kind of food/restaurants in Germany except of english maybe  and a MC is everywhere. Each restaurant serves vegetarian meals. But you should be brave and try some of the traditional german meals ;D Shall we open a German crash course thread? "Moin, moin" is good morning in Hamburg "Grüß Gott" you say in Munich "Wie geht's" is how are you, nice to meet you ... "Guten Morgen und einen schönen Tag" to all of you  |

None of us care (most of the time) when we express our own society's little nicety, whether it's "have a nice day" or "have a nice weekend." It's just something we say - just like they say whatever it is they say. I guess I don't consider asking me if I slept well to be an intimate question. Either way, certainly nothing to argue about. |

"Guten Morgen und einen schönen Tag" to all of you I wouldn't think of going to another country and not at least trying their food. When I was in London in December I was in Picadilly Circus and heard a couple of Americans so excited when they spotted a TGI Friday's down the block. I wanted to turn around and tell them how pathetic that was. Needless to say, I will not be looking for a TGI Friday's or McDonald's or any other eatery I could find here in the US. Now, I have to get started on learning some of the language... |
