I still have some friends where I lived (Guilford, CT) so I could stay with them or ask some friends of my dads if I want to stay with strangers... *sigh* so many possibilities

I figured it would be something like that...very impressive!
I wish I would have had a chance like that... my parents planned to raise me bilingual (my father is German, mother is Dutch), but they never did
Still speak German, but not near as well as I would have when taught from birth
EDIT: damn I really would like to know why my spelling is so way off lately
