I am glad that you like my album of Sevilla. Previously, did not create albums, and this was a mistake. Slides better to watch, this is a whole.
On Saturday snow began to fall, is already a lot of it. I do photos, and ends with me the monthly limit, but may be zmieszczą. In your city of Mannheim, it is snow?
Best regards,

Basia

Hi Petra,

thank you for rating my report on Tulum and your comment.

It was such a miserable day here in London yesterday, I needed to do something to cheer me up and writing about Tulum did just that!

Viele Gruesse aus London

... for rating + commenting my pictures, Petra!

No, I didn't stay at the Hotel del Coronado - it's too cheap...

Schönen Sonntag, Christian

Hi Petra,

I found that Luxembourg houses the following annual jazz events: the Printemps Festival (Mar-Jun), Blues'n Jazz Rallye (Jul), New Orleans meets Luxembourg (May). Some of them have confirmed dates for 2009!

Kindest regards
Krys

p.s. Thanks for comments and stars for Trier!

Hello Petra,

Thanks for your best wishes, it felt a little different being away from my friends this year and celebrating my birthday, but I'm having so much fun with the children it really makes the upheaval worthwhile.

Enjoy your weekend
Amanda

Hi Petra,

I am actually not sure about the frequency of this jazz festival. I definitely hope so, as I would love to go back to live it again. I searched the Internet a little about it, but I did not find a definitive answer. If I find something, I will let you know.

Kindest regards
Krys

Please read my last message first, because for space constraints, i could not finish what i want to say in one box. About Italians and Chinese again, what I want to say, if Italians continue to be like in this way, I mean people are not well motivated to work hard, it will be overtook by most of places in China.

I think the problems between east and west will remain in the coming future. I do not know who invented the China Threat theory, but if you look at the history, especially when China was the top 1, around Tang, Song Dynasty, when she did? But when you Europeans caught the power, what did you do?

We can have a long debate on this. Again, I do believe that debate will make us understand each other more. Therefore, If my language makes you and Isbella, or others here feel offended, I apologize, I do not have any intention to do that. I just would like to give you my thinking as a friend.

I do not finish my story. Let's look at how the Americans treat the Indians when they landed the continent there, did you europeans say something about this? But when we, Tibetans and Hans are in one nation, have no right to choose wherever you live? the Hans, according to the philophy of someone who supported Dalai lama, should be ousted from Tibet.
I love France, I chose it as the place for my honeymoon there, but really in certain way what happened during the relay of the Olympic Torch in Paris, hurt the feelings of many Chineses towards France.
I do love this opportunties for living in Europe, I saw so many things I have never seen in China, which kept me thinking. you may disagree with me on my point in the decadent side of Italians. I like their ways of enjoying life, but you need to base all this on working hard first. But here everyone is relaxing, no one wants to work. That's why italy is losing its power.

Thank you so much for telling me that my comments or general feeling about Europeans make you uncomfortable in certain ways. As you said, English is not my mother tongue, either, But I do feel something very strong about Europeans and their attitudes towards Chinese, even asians.
Todays Europeans are talking about the problems of Chinese, but you are always forgetting all those problems to certain extent caused by your Europeans. For instance, Tibet, since ancient times, is part of China, and has not problems between the Hans and Tibetans. But everything changed when Britishes came, first we had wars with India for Tibet. Then Dalai Lama came, which were strongly supported by France and your country, Germany. You may knew nothing about the riots in March in Tibet, many people died and hurt, but your media say it was the government beating the Tibetan. But actually It was Dalai Lama who directed everything. For me, Europeans are always trouble maker to Chinese.
