Of course that's the plan, I hope to be able to quit smoking after this study. So another thing I can do whilst I'm there. But for that I need enough stuff to do as well

Concert ? What concert ... ? Ah, you mean the Musical ! That was great. Very much like the Monty-Python-typical humour. Very weird, very crazy, very insane. But the music was very good, very catchy sometimes, and it contained lots of music you might already know from their movies and music CDs. In contrast to the movie with the search for the Holy Greail the musical is/was based upon, there even is/was an happy ending ! Finally, they found the Holy Grail and King Arthur married the Lady of the Lake ! Afterwards, I bought myself a T-Shirt and a booklet. That was a story in itself: The woman who sold them had to hold the booklet so I could take out my wallet & money, when I gave her the money and I had to hold the booklet so she could draw out her wallet and give me the change ... then she had to take the booklet so I could put the change money back into my wallet ... then I finally got hold of the booklet ... meanwhile she put her wallet back ... That was an incident just in the best tradition of the Monty Python humour ... Unfortunately there weren't CDs one could buy ... And I don't know how I would be able to get the English-language original musical CD ...

Unfortunately there weren't CDs one could buy ... And I don't know how I would be able to get the English-language original musical CD ... It's available on iTunes (at least in Australia.) Just search for "Spamalot". To start the inevitable discussion of the pros and cons of iTunes, I was hesitant and first but happily use it now. The first thing I do after buying an album is burn it to a CD (in CD format.) I've only had one incident where a download failed and wouldn't resume. A quick e-mail to support sorted it out within 24 hours. The prices at iTunes are cheaper than a CD except in a couple of rare cases. The album that convinced me to use iTunes cost $17 on iTunes, or, after currency conversion and shipping, $93 from Amazon. If the album was available in Australian stores, it would have been $20 to $30. I still like my physical CDs, but I won't avoid iTunes if I can't get it locally.

Well, double good luck, then, Gal. BTW, pinching newborns looks fun too, aside from jumping on occupied convalescence beds.

I wish you good luck Galadriel And I'm back from Paris! I had the most perfect four days in one of the cities I most love, with my girlfriend and lots of history and culture. Yes twoheadded, I had lots of romantic time with my gf (Montmartre at night, anyone?) ;D But I have also seen so many cultural and historical things that I read about and that I already wanted to see a long time ago. I guess it's about the fifth time I have been to Paris (Belgium is not far away from there), but this time I KNEW the story behind everything I went to see. And I enjoyed every single minute of everything ^^ Pics and some more detailled explanations should come up later *EDIT: almost forgot, good luck with your exam too, twoheadded ace it! **EDIT: almost forgot this extra news too. I freaking passed all of my exams! F*** YEA

@ Alrik: Wow, that must've been hilarious! I have to admit, it kinda ruins all the fun when the police just come along and arrest everybody, ending the story prematurely... ;D @ Hildor: Congrats man! Yeah, I just found out one of my fellow-FCI volunteers in Jakarta just took the test, and ACED it (100%)! Now, I have the motivation of not wanting to get beaten by a girl (yeah, she's a girl)... Looking forward to seeing lots of your posts in the very-near future!

I gotta admit though, once in awhile it's nice to do nothing... BTW, I'm gonna be taking my exam this week, we'll se how it goes... Although now I have the motivation to Ace it because if a 17-year-old girl with the same occupation as me could, so can I! ;D Sorry for not posting the past 3 days, very busy weekend...
