Interview the Person below you?

[Storm]

Interstellar Travel.

Have you ever been in any war/conflict area (as soldiers or civilians caught up in it)

[gadjo_dilo]

The revolution or coup d'etat, or whatever had it been in december 1989. The ending of communism in my country, esp. in Book a Rest, was marked with blood, mostly after Ceausescu was caught. It was frightening cos officially the army and his secret service betrayed him and were on our side, but people still were shot in the streets by unknown enemies. The rumour was they were terrorists special trained by the dictator or even Arabic guys. Most of events took place in the area where I live and imagine how it's like to live a quiet life, seeing a gun only in the movies and never heared a firegun and suddenly to see tanks, TABs and soldiers on your street and live for a few days in the noise of continuous shooting. The strange thing( is it strange? ) is that no "terrorist ''was ever captured and after so many years we still don't know who shoot.


Are you interested in the Wimbledon tennis tournament?

[Storm]

I used to be very interested back in the late 80s and even in 90s, but back then I was so crazy about sports that I watched footballl, motorsport, cricket, NBA, MLB, voleyball, golf, tennis..even snooker! Only thing I have always avoided is NFL.

Not since the 2000s though, when I lost interest in tennis and most of the other stuff.
nowadays I read the paper to see who wins..

How much do you pay for internet?

[gadjo_dilo]

Complicated to say......
At home I have a Telekom package phone land line + internet that includes
. 400 min free phone calls anytime
- unlimited free phone calls in any national land line network + mobile in Telekom network + in any European land line network + in any land line or mobile network in USA and Canada ( unfortunately no free calls for India........)
. internet unlimited
The cost is about 75 lei( 17 Euro)/month, but the contract is on my mum's name who has an important deduction as a refugee so I pay about 37 lei (~8 euro) for this package. I could pay less if I chose less options but it's very affordable like this.
I also have internet on the phone from work. Well, we are part of a collective contract but it's us who're paying .So for 3,75 Euro/month I have unlimited phone calls in any Romanian network (land or mobile) + 12000sms +11GB internet( that's good cos you know that I have restriction on the computers at work).
don't know if I was intelligible but the main idea is that now I can be contacted anytime.

Same Q

[schmenke]

Internet (and communication services in general) services here are hideously expensive

Our home high speed internet is bundled together with our HD cable TV service, for which we pay a total of around $100/month (including 4 cable outlets in our home).

Our mobile phone service is on a different provider and is a bit more complicated. The missus, her mother and my eldest daughter share a "family plan" which allows them unlimited calling amongst themselves anywhere in Canada, plus shared free data up to a certain limit (not sure what the limit is). I believe that plan costs around $80/month. My phone is company provided so I pay squat, including unlimited long distance, data and roaming charges anywhere I travel.


Summer vacation plans?

[Storm]

None, since our summer was over a month ago
But unfortunately none in the monsoon or any planned for the winter either...

sorry same Q for a better answer?

(For the internet thing, gadjo that sounds cheap to me! schemnke's sounds expensive indeed )

[gadjo_dilo]

(For the internet thing, gadjo that sounds cheap to me! schemnke's sounds expensive indeed )

Yeah, might look cheap. But the average wage here is 540 Euro/month(380 Euro after tax deductions).

About holiday q: I'm on holiday right now but I'm spending it at home for the reason you know. I intend to do some house cleaning and to sleep a little more.
Rather frustrating to see all the people around being excited about leaving on holiday and relaxing and having fun.....
Too bad that the forum is so quiet. I also could have had some fun.

What kind of holidays do you like? At the seaside, on the mountains, on exotic places, on luxury hotels, camping, on quiet places, on circuits, in historical places, all inclusive, etc.?

[anfield5]

Type of location isn't really a factor i.e beach, mountains etc, just as long as it is somewhere new and isn't a tourist trap. Would love to visit Socotra one day.

If you could go on a two week holiday anywhere with any one (either living or historical) where would you go and who would you go with?

[gadjo_dilo]

I'd go to Barcelona to see the unusual buildings designed by Gaudi. I'd go with Steve cos he's a good laugh, takes great pictures and would have the chance to chase his idol -Messi for an autograph.

What do you consider that it's wrong about you?

[steveaki13]

Chase him lol......
Wow you could go with anyone and choose me


Hmm...... I think I am too shy, I really struggle to make new friends. That is one thing I hate about myself. I don't have many close ones.

What do you consider your personal strengths/is good about you? (Please dont say nothing if you answer Gadjo)
