It's almost like pressing snooze on a conversation and starting again. It would bore me that. I think I'd end up making stuff just so I didnt bore myself listening to my own same stories.Robbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746692668880855217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-71137625008970704612010-01-03T21:52:20.370+00:002010-01-03T21:52:20.370+00:00Strawberry?

So by the end of the 3 weeks I just started pretending that I didn't hear her when she spoke. Rude, but it worked. And Happy new year back!<br /><br />not twitter - I hate to admit it, but you're right. I came out here with an open mind ready to meet people from all different nationalities, and so far thats meant a lot of Germans. I haven't found any of them particularly exciting. The Swiss on the other hand, now they're a good laugh...<br /><br />Hails - Thanks thats a nice compliment! Although I haven't actually had time to comment on blogs too much lately, I've really enjoyed yours since you've been in Korea too - it's so interesting because its a completely different culture. I'm actually really enjoying blogging about my travels so its nice to know you're liking reading it.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-62513022680234502112010-01-02T12:31:28.616+00:002010-01-02T12:31:28.616+00:00I had a similar experience with two French girls i...I had a similar experience with two French girls in China on New Year's Eve. Fortunately I found a slightly bonkers Dutchman, an Australian girl and an Irishman. :) Hooray for the Irish! Heheh. <br /><br />Your blog has been fabulous since you've been travelling. Not that it wasn't before, but you know what I mean! I identify with almost all your experiences, and you've got a great knack for "personalised travel writing", as I like to call it. <br /><br />Happy New Year to you!Hailshttp://www.coffee-helps.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-26429349396239011112010-01-02T11:31:04.450+00:002010-01-02T11:31:04.450+00:00Didn't the fact that she was German give you a...Didn't the fact that she was German give you a clue that she might not be-<br />a/ witty, amusing, interesting<br />b/ a party animal<br /><br />The PC crowd want us to get rid of cultural stereotypes because they deem them racist when they are, in fact, almost always correct.not twitterhttp://nottwittter.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-19242785019066170392010-01-02T11:10:03.190+00:002010-01-02T11:10:03.190+00:00Oh, and Happy New Year!
