hello van how are you doing?I'm bubacarr from the smiling coast of Africa The Gambia and i wil like you to be my pal..
Hope to hear from you..

Hey Van! How are you? I am sorry for not writing lately, I had some really busy days! How have your days off been?

Hey Van!
It was good...Went to University and to work. For the weekend, I went home to my parents house, since I moved to Constance I miss them a lot, I have 3 little brothers and it's always fun when I am home.

How was yours? :)

That would be cool, right? Do you have a special country in your head you want to study at?

That's a lot! Constance has about 80.000, and my hometown Speyer in the Palatinate has 50.000. But although we have a lot of students here, it's really boring...a lot of old people also live here because of the good klimate, and I think it's a really conservative area...but the nature makes everything okay :D

I am sooo looking forward to visit it somewhen!!

It's a vicious circle, isn't it? You need experience for a job, but you need the job for experience. So stupid.

So you live in a rural area? I must confess I really know little about the USA!

I think it's always hard to find a job on a diffrent continent if you don't know about the situation there, and don't know where to search for it, right? It's always about the skill, everywhere the same I guess? Where do you want to work?

I live in Constance at the Lake Constance. It's very nice, especially in summer :) And it's right at the swiss border ...I work in Kreuzlingen at Euroforum, they make events for IT companies and banks and so...I am at the marketing/customer service section, so at all, I just sit in front of a PC and call people :D But it's not what I study for, it's just for the money, and so I am ok with it.

Oh wow, in the governement! I like the fact that you have tattoos and want to work in such a strict district! I keep my fingers crossed for you :) I will not that down! Oh yes, New York is definatly a place I would like to visit.

That's quite a few days for that many places you want to visit :) Italy I could totally recommend, I really like it, I was there a few times. I live on the border to Switzerland (and work there).

I study sciences of Literature, Art and Media as major, and economics as minor.

Hmm...My mom has a friend in Atlanta, so I think I might make a stop there. But since it is really far away I am now like: visit all the places! Maybe my friend and me would visit her grandparents in Iowa.

Oh, wow, that's amazing! I understand that you are all excited! I would totally explode of all the waiting :D Do you have any plans what to visit? How long will you be here then?

Yes :) I never regret I did it. I want some ones, even where I can't cover them...but since I am not finished yet with my studies, I decided to catch up with the "invisible" places first...or the good-to-hide-ones.

Unfortunatly, I haven't! But I really would like to! My best friend is from Amerika and she is going to make an internship in L.A. somewhen in 2013, and THEN I am going to visit her :D

Do you have a lot of family over here? Have you already been to Germany before?

Oh, yes, I totally forgot about the asian ones! My first one were two japanese cherry blossoms on my hip :) So you have quite a lot! I want some more two! I make plans all the time...
