So, where's everybody from, then? It's always interesting to see how international this place is. As for me, I think you're all aware now that I'm in the UK. Liverpool, to be precise. Famous for the Beatles and two big football clubs! lol Helen

Oookay, I'm living in Soest, Northrhine-Westphalia. It's a small but very old town which still is member of the Hanseatic Bound and was, back in the Middle Age, headquarters of the Hanseatic Bound. The biggest event over here is starting tomorrow, the Allhallows-Fair which is the biggest fair all over Europe (yep, bigger than Oktoberfest *iz nodding wisely*) Not hard to find out, it's Germany.

We are not exactly close neighbours, then We often go shopping to Dresden, because it is, surprisingly, cheaper but in a higher quality You can imagine that I am usually an interpreter for my parents who can say only "Guten Tag"...and my German is not even as good as it used to be We live about 90 minutes by car from Dresden.

Nope, not really neighbours I fear *shakes head*. Berlin is (via car) five to six hours away, Dresden from Berlin ... I think that should be also a couple of hours, so pretty much the opposite direction of the country. Unfortunately that means nothing. I mean, I love my hometown but ... *sigh* ... it's all about the work. I only have a small-paid job and nothing really good is showing up over here. The jobs today are *funny thing* in Eastern Germany, so you know where I look for another, better paid job (and also apartment).

Well, its growing now, becoming busier every year, last year was a nightmare! I think there's a better system this year, they have the whole RD cast going! I haven't been to Liverpool for years, think its long overdue to get lost in a big city for me haha

It really was, I arrived about 10.30, got in at 11.30, and people were still queuing at 4.30 when I left... Was crazy, but worth it if you got in

They managed to get some really big guests, too. When I went it was just the usual Gareth David-Lloyd, Kai Owen, Danny John Jules, Kenny Baker etc.
