I enjoy ANY travel.. but 15 hr flights (been on a couple!) are dead boring, 15 hr train rides are more fun :)
Do you get bothered by driving in a lot of traffic? or are you one of those zen masters while driving?

I'm a zen master cos I don't drive at all. :p
Do you swear when you're driving?
Not usually. Can't see the point in getting angry at things I can't change.
Do you sing way too loudly to the cd/radio etc when you are driving - even if there are other people in the car with you?
Anfield - Re your post a page ago. I would tend to construct a thoughtful and well word email, stating why you care for her and in what way. Say you want to stay in touch as a friend, maybe reassure her (even if she finds it hard to believe) about the future and that you will help her along the way. Then say you hope she can understand that.
Then leave it to her as to whether she wants to know you.
Anyway. I do sing along if on my own in the car, but if people are with me, I get shy.
Do you do break the law much/at all while driving? (if you don't drive, would you :p)
Nah, don't even speed. The way I see it is unless you are doing twice the speed limit, you will not arrive anywhere any earlier. Have been caught driving without a current wof though - not breaking the law as such, I just forgot it was due.
If you could break one law and get away with it, would you, and what would you do?
^zen master I was talking about earlier...(I don't break driving rules either but I do get pissed at the traffic and the morons on the road pretending to drive)
I don't know, perhaps enter a country without a valid visa?
I find immigration/visa laws quite archaic sometimes....
same question-
Some tax evasion would be great. :p
We're the country with the most taxes and fees.
And I'm such an idiot that I declare every penny and pay all the aberrant duties.
Is there a certain tradition in celebration of 1 May in your country?
Maypole dancing is sort of the old tradition. Not much of it goes on, but it still happens.
Which is your favourite season of the year?
Winter, closely followed by the monsoon and summer a very distant third :angryfire
Do you drink very cold water or just normal room temperature stuff?
I drink cold water either from fridge or out of the tap which is also pretty cold.
Do you every go and just walk for miles, just to get away from stuff?
Usually I bike, but for the same reasons. Sometimes I need to isolate just to clear my head, think things over, or temporarily escape from when life turns a bit upside down. Strangely I often don't figure much out while actually biking, but after I'm down a a bit tired the relaxation helps me think things through.Quote:

Yeah. I just need some time for myself and can't get it. Today I took a day off hoping I'd do only what I want and maybe go out for a few hours. But I had to answer a lot of phone calls and welcome an army of relatives who didn't want to leave me alone today. At this very moment I'm trying to send my brother home - mission impossible......
What are you doing when you're feeling down?
Music, walk or bike, drink. Or I'm actually trying to resolve the issues that brought me down. Sometimes it helps. ;)
Do you prefer city or the countryside?
Country side generally and definitely if I could choose where to live. However I do like the hussle and bussle of the City. Only for a short time though.
Do you eat a lot of salad's and light meals or do you prefer a big meaty meal?
I eat salads of fresh vegetables and they are usually served with some other food.When my mother was cooking I used to eat salads every day together with some cooked food based on vegetables. Never been too fond of meat.
Now I don't have time to cook so I rarely do a salad ( although I continue to eat a lot of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc. Just don't mix them with oil and vinegar). I also don't cook vegetable food cos it takes time ( and skills :p ).
What kind of meat is your fav?
Cant beat a good pork roast. but beef, lamb, venison etc are all good. I will only eat pork and chicken that is free farmed, I would rather pay the extra for meat from an animal that has had a good life, rather than one that has been crate farmed, plus it tastes better any way.
What is the most difficult thing you have tried to cook?
I don't know. Everything is difficult when you have 2 left hands. :s
Is it important for you the way the food is served? ( I mean the plates, if the food is decorated, etc. )
The only important thing is does it taste good.
What will you do this weekend?
My weekend started yesterday cos I took 2 days off and on Friday it's a legal holiday. I wanted to solve a lot of things but as usual my mum has one of her terrible crises and spoiled it all. I still hope I'll get to the cinema for a remarkable Romanian movie and I also want to buy something nice and expensive for me. I want to go to n places but I think it would be impossible. Most of the people leave the city this weekend and I'll probably die of boredom.
Same Q.
nothing planned. in to town for a coffee at friends cafe at 10am - then?????
Is life better if you plane it, or is it better just to play it by ear?
Some things need to be planned, but life is much more fun if you just wing it and go wherever life takes you.
Do you have plans to visit another country in the next year?
Yes, but all my plans seem to fail so let's see if it actually happens.
same question?
I don't have plans but to travel is my secret wish that probably will never become true. You already know my dream destinations: Barcelona, Paris, Vienna, San Francisco.
+ northern Greece as a return to my roots.
What are you interested in when you go abroad? ( historicall places, monuments, museums, beaches, clubs, casinos, women(:devil:), etc.
I like a bit of history but I am not a museum geek. I like to see nice old buildings and architecture but only upto a certain extent. What I love the most is nature at it's best. driving on some nice roads too !
Nature and then local Food is what I look for in any new location.
Do you go to a lot of places or prefer to stay at one or two on a long vacation?
Then Romania is the perfect location. I'll wait for for you. :wave:Quote:

Have you ever fight with someone ( I mean physically)?
No. Dont believe in fighting really. Never get that annoyed at other people either. If I disagree with someone then fine. If they want to get physical I walk away. Not even fussed by the man aspect. People might say I am a coward, but really who is not afraid of getting hurt?? I don't get the "I'm not scared of you" macho thing.
Same question?
Only once, many many years ago. I am not that sort of person, prefer other ways to settle things.
What would you risk your life for?
My son's life, otherwise discretion is the better part of valour (I found it out!)
Do you like to get wet in the rain sometimes?
Yes. I like the rain sometimes. Especially if its hot in the summer.
Do you sun bathe or do you stay in the shade?
Sun bathe? you Must be having a laugh stevie :laugh: I hate the Sun :evil:
some one else can go again, same q
Better not be me then. I dont hate the sun, but I don't either.
Same Q still going as I asked it.... :laugh:
I prefer the shade.
Do you have any relatives that you prefer over the others and why?
I have one Auntie I prefer over the other. I shouldn't say it out loud, but one is very supportive and is interested in everything and is very easy to talk too. The other, seems to get bored quickly when I talk about stuff. Generally seems a lot more closed minded.
Whats the furthest you have walked in one go?
20 miles on a sponsored walk as a student
Going back to suntans, do you consider a suntan makes someone more attractive?
used to do a lot of tramping/hiking when I was young and insane, so in a day prob about 50km
are you one of the insane group that 'run for fun'...why?
re-:Danswer Anfield
I'll have to learn to type faster and think less :DQuote:

Oy!! That better apply only to 'white' people...for us in the tropics its an occupational hazard. My mom tells me I was quite light skinned as a baby. I only have black and white photos so dunno :p:Quote:

You look at people, usually older people who have laid in the sun in on the Costa del Sol for two weeks, they look like prunes, and are usually a weird brown/orange colour. Not quite the colour of American news readers, but close.Quote:
