Do you go to church on x-mas?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

I am sort of an an atheist. I grew up in the former GDR ... But we went to church on x-mas. Not for religion, just for tradition.

Does your religion help you to get along in life?

Black Diamond · December 2010

I have been a couple of times with friends... can really be beautiful.
And I don't need my religon but I enjoy parts of it...

Do you remember GDR before wall came down?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

Yes, I was 12 when the wall fell. I have been in the youth organization as well ... for a child it's been okay, no crime and a lot of empathy for people who are in need. Maybe I am a bit nostalgic, but I had a great childhood. I think I would have started to question and hate it once I had been in puberty ... Life was plain and simple, but okay.

Can you imagine living in a dictatorship?

Black Diamond · December 2010

Well my mother was pretty bad but

Just kidding... No, not at all.

I was in Leipzig about three years ago on business and I could not believe the split personality of the city. One side, communist architecture and almost a grey quality. The other a vibrant little sqaure where I had one of the best nights of my life.

Have you visited the West side since?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

Yes, but only partly ... There is still after 20 years a lot of difference between the people. I think I wouldn't feel quite comfortable living in a small town in Western Germany.

And nice that you've been to Leipzig and liked it, it is quite near to my hometown

What parts do you like about your religion?

Black Diamond · December 2010

The family aspect of it... The charity/kindness aspect of it... and the morality of it in some ways...

You?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

I read a lot of books about Jewish people and life and I think that it is quite an interesting religion.

Have you ever been to Israel?

Black Diamond · December 2010

No never, but we are contemplating having one of my kids Bar Mitzvah's their. I do have a whole side of the family that I have not met who live there.

Furthest place you traveled to?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

Turkey. I haven't come very far in the last 5 year, my job is kind of tearing me up :?

That idea about the bar mizwa in Isreal sounds like a nice idea. Can you speak Hebrew?

Black Diamond · December 2010

Pathetically I can read it and say it but not understand it (mostly) :?

How many languages can you speak?

Jukee · December 2010

2 - English and French.

You?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

Well, I learned 6 languages besides my mother tongue ... I am not fluent in all of them but it is good for my job that I am a kind of language person. It's Latin, French, Spanish, Russian, English and Finnish :oops:

Are you at work right now?

Black Diamond · December 2010

Yep although you would not know it by the frequency of my posting

Do you work from home?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

Sometimes, but not if I can avoid it. I am working too much and my personal life is suffering from that.

Is your job the job you always wanted to do?

Black Diamond · December 2010

I don't think I had an idea when I was a kid what I would be...
But since college, I would say I have exceeded my expectations...

You?

theserialthrilla · December 2010

if you call this work ...yes

whats the last thing that made you go wooow

Black Diamond · December 2010

I have never gone wooow. I have gone wow. The last time... probably when my kid got 100 on his math test.

Are you suprised a lot?

Leezestarr313 · December 2010

Well ... Yes. Life is a mystery and I can never tell what comes next

Do you love surprises?
