[QUOTE="Hergen, post: 809083, member: 167654"] Ahhh, so many replies, heh! One by one :) Cheers :) I'm originally from Bremen, northern Germany. Hence why I was more than happy to move to Shoeburyness - I can walk down to a North Sea beach, there is nothing that can beat this for me. Okay, maybe if I win the lottery, a house on the Hebrides would be a dream. My job won't let me move into any more remote regions, but I'm a major fan of the countryside. Funny thing - the name is originally Nordic in origin, and even my family has not the slightest idea where the surname comes from - it's very rare even on a global scale. No specific one. I literally go through all the food groups and test what influences me how, and then choose what I can to keep my blood sugar low. But my general baseline is 150g of carbs a day, preferably in the form of whole grains. I try to mix a lot of tomatoes and eggs into my diet, as I absolutely love them and especially eggs are satiating (no issues with cholesterol, thankfully). Hehe, there is a common joke among expats in regards to language. There are tons of variations of it, but it goes something like this: [LIST] [*]When you go to France and try to speak French, the French will be mildly pleased and offer you pronunciation tips. [*]When you go to Italy and try to speak Italian, they will be amazed and invite you to their family dinner. [*]When you go to America and try to speak English (as a Brit), you will be told that you speak funny, but that they still like you. [*]When you go to Germany and try to speak German, they will change the conversation to perfect Oxford English entirely, commend your efforts and start a discussion about the latest series of Doctor Who. [/LIST] It's obviously just a joke, but for some reason a lot of Germans love English ;) We all learn it rather early, and for me, it was always fascinating. Of course there are also people who never cared about it, but if you're for instance standing at the counter of a butcher, there is usually at least one person in the room who can help it. And I'm definitely planning to have a vacation up north in the coming years! [/QUOTE]
