Hah hah, great pictures, thanks! Word Cup Soccer is so big overseas. Here in the US, the NFL has football locked in as America's favorite sport that soccer really does not get the exposure here as it does in Europe. I played a lot of soccer in school and it was a lot of fun. Hard to learn at first because we just want to pickup the ball and throw it. And of course, you cannot touch the ball at all with your hands. But once we got the hang of it, a lot of fun. Sort of like hockey by using our feet as the hockey sticks.

Novak Djokovicm the tennis player? He is very young and very good. I personally don't watch tennis, it makes me dizzy trying to watch the ball back and forth. But my Vietnamese friend loves it and plays all the time. He must be close to 60 now and he still goes out to play tennis. I get too tired playing tennis, it really takes a lot of stamina to keep playing and running all over the place to meet with the ball. And of course a good tennis player is going to wear you down, running around until you just cannot do it anymore and he scores! Good game, very tiring. Hee hee. :D

I did like the Google Earth tour of Belgrade and Serbia. That was really neat to see what it is like, WAY over across the globe where you live and all of the strange (to me) countries that surround you. I also did some Earth scouting on Casper in Cape Town. Very interesting and what makes it fun is that I know you guys and that is where you really live!

It is true, Americans are really creaped out by terrorists. I think because we are logical, thinking people who deal with every day life, like you, but never have seen such desperation where a group of people would hijack a plane, not one but 4 at at time, all these people, and they didn't want the plane, they didn't want money, they wanted to kill themselves and as many people as they could by flying into buildings! That freaked us out SO bad because nothing in the entire history of the US has happened like that, ever! When someone hijacks a plane, we think of safety and human lives and ask, what do you want? Money? Asylum? Political prisoners, what is it? We train to just give the hijackers what they want and deal with it later, after everyone is safe on the ground.

After we saw the planes fly into buildings, we have this horrible decision to make, do we shoot down our own people in our own planes to stop them from flying into crowds and killing more people? And there is no time to talk about or think about it, scramble the jets and take them down! The US will never bee the same. Yeah will will have barbecues and sports, have fun and go to the beach, but, now we get nervous when foreigners gather and assemble. It sparked an entire movement of hatred to Muslims and anyone who looks "Arabic". Not me, I have fun with my friend Omar who is from Arabia at his little store, I work on his computer and video system, and we talk and joke. I asked him what he had for dinner tonight, did he have locusts, dates, goat cheese, and pita bread? Hah hah! He laughed and said no, just regular food tonight. But he loves watching Arab TV and what is that news station? Al Jazeera on his laptop all day. Sometimes the Arab shout in speeches and to go to the mosque. I don't get it, the whole "terrorist thing", it makes no sense at all. Kill yourself and everyone around you for what? 7 virgins? Your kidding me, right? :laugh:

You are a good guy Welder, always were. I know you live well but yeah, the government sucks and takes all the money. That is really rough. My Vietnamese friend, Thong, ran away from Vietnam where he has family and is in love with when the communists came into his electronics shop, took all the money in the cash register and said you will work for us now, we take everything you have with assault rifles. He got on a boat and just took off after that. He wants me to go with him to Vietnam and of course, visit all the young prostitutes who will service you all night long for like ten dollars, and he is married. LOL! :laugh:

I am very happy to live where I do, even though things can be pretty tough when you live by yourself. I am slowly learning to deal with this new budget and when I get better at it, I can start going out again and finding some good women to date. Don't really need a lot of money to date, these women will be happy just to be with a good man, but to go out and find them, you have to start out with some kind of money. Isn't it the same everywhere?

Thanks for the pictures my friend. One of the very best things I found at XDA are friends, real friends, that live all over the entire world. :highfive:

P.S.

It was really nice talking to you Welder, learning about where you live, so very far way, way, WAY across the globe. And I do this with several XDA members who live across the world like Casper, Stargo, You, DumbleCore (I have not talked to John in a long time, I should email him.) and if you want to chat like friends, anytime, drop me a PM. It is sort of off topic in the thread, but in a PM, sure, ask me anything you want and talk to me. I would love it! Take care, :)
