Passenger

I hope so too. the team competition was so hard coz there were so many great girls. she was easily punished for her mistakes. poor her. but i'm sure she'll come back to beat the Chinese girls. :D

i know!!!!!!! how amazing was that!!!!!!!! u should have seen me jumping up and down. lol i still feel a bit sad that Katie Hoff didn't get a gold medal yet. good luck for her in the 200m medley!

I was confused about the swimming schedule. finals in the morning and preliminaries in the evening??? well, here`s the explanation: Source: Gulf Daily News http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=225585&Sn=SPOR&IssueID=31139 How corrupt is that?! :thinking:

no, they blamed the heat. the opening ceremony was genius!!! i loved the drummers and the rowing. very good. and in future very hard to make it better.

come on... u just can't expect to get onto the next ferry to Talinn! (plz don't mind as i love Finnland and Finnish jokes) :D:D:D

Hey... i know! she's incredible for sure. i was jumping up and down as she won the world championship in marathon a couple of years ago. BUT... (lol... i'm never happy...) ... i have lived long enough in England to understand the press. and if Paula doesn't win they won't blame her as she's the national star. no, it's the pollution and bad conditions in China. and this is rubbish. as already mentioned -> every athlete has to compete under the same conditions. so the press actually has to blame her if she fails. btw, British tabloids have an odd understanding of "failing" as they r already dissatisfied when she comes 2nd. and this is even more rubbish as a 2nd place would be genius for her! so hopefully she comes under the first 3!!! ;)

that wasn`t my point. it`s the Daily Mail and their link to Paula i`m annoyed with.

i could imagine that u r wrong here... (sorry)

i'm going to see it on Friday! ;)

14:28 laughing about weird baby names with my boss

Tipps... ich war so lange nicht mehr da. Mache erst mal nächste Woche nach Liberec. Ansonsten kann ich nur sagen, spar`dir die Verpflegung! lol Da ist alles so billig, dass man da öfter mal Essen gehen kann. Aber Klamotten, Alkohol, etc. haben sich schon den EU-Preisen angepasst. Und eigentlich kann man alles in Prag erlaufen. Falls man aber doch die Straßenbahn nehmen will, ist das auch recht billig. Tja, und Sehenswürdigkeiten wirst du dir bestimmt schon ausgeguckt haben. Hradcin ist natürlich ein Muss (auf jeden Fall in den St. Veitz Dom gehen). Der Friedhof, auf dem Kafka begraben ist oder das ehemalige Judenviertel ist auch interessant. Und natürlich auf der Karlsbrücke Schnäppchen ergattern und den Musikern lauschen!!! :D

How can u even rely on an article by the Daily Mail? This is so superstituous as Britain has to find an excuse if Paula isn`t at her best. Well, i`m so excited about the Olympics. Can`t wait for the open ceremony on Friday!!!! Btw, I support so many nations... go Malaysia! :laugh3: anyone looking forward to see Michael Phelps?

lol... i have never been to the US. we should do a holiday house swap! :laugh3:

Thx! Well, i`m used to prices around London. So nothing can really shock me. lol ... but 5€ is a bit too much. However, the transportation costs sound alright. thx for the idea of a special ticket offer. i`ll try to find these "rambler tickets". do u know if there`s a 24/7 bus service?

Wann geht`s denn nach Prag? Find`die Stadt super toll. (Könnte ja theoretisch jedes WE dahin fahren... aber wenn man so nah dran wohnt, macht man das nie... :rolleyes:)

haven't travelled for a while... but i`ve booked a holiday to Dublin too. furthermore i`m planning a trip to Paris and Madrid (visiting my best friend who is doing an ERASMUS year) if u have some tips concerning Ireland i`m more than welcome e.g. bus prices from Dublin airport :) as u r keen on pics... here r mine from my trip to Finland (1 1/2 years ago):

Coldplay - The Scientist The Killers - Mr Brightside The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby Oasis - Masterplan Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the bridge Sarah Bareilles - Love song REM - The great beyond Siouxsie and the Banshees - Passenger Alphabeat - Fascination Michael Buble - Everything Ville Valo - ikkunaprinsessa The Cranberries - Zombie Queen - Don't stop me now The Rolling Stones - Play with Fire Raymond och Maria - Storstadskvinnor Faller Ner och dr The Ark - This piece of poetry is meant to do harm Placebo - Special K Carla Bruni - le toi du moi Genesis - I can't dance Scissor Sisters - I don't feel like dancing (my fav song when i'm going out)

do u know when ticketmaster will dispatch them? i know it says that it can take up to 10 days before the event. but do u have any experience? can't imagine to wait that long as i don't wanna have an e-ticket.

I'd love to go to Ljubiljana one day. it may be small but i imagine it's got this certain athmosphere which is different to anywhere else in the world. My place: well, i live in London too but I won't show pics as i'm sure u all know how it looks like.

i agree. heard it at the campusparty. is the original song from rea garvey or did it he cover it too?

very strange... now i got tickets... i thought it was sold out... apparently not... greta for me i suppose

u wanna come all the way from the US? gosh, and i thought i'm doing quite a long trip from London. lol amazing...:stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned::stunned:

Jugendherberge? da sollte man was für 15€ finden...

i got ticketsssssss! i am so happy! i think my seats r crap but i don't care (in berlin i have standing tickets so who cares if i'm going to sit the next time)... now i just have to arrange my 3 day holiday to Dublin. lol I've always wanted to see this place. gosh i'm mental... da da da da :D

I just saw the amazing Mr Stipe 9 days ago!!! and in September I'll see Chris!!! meaning this pic fits perfectly! lol
