Salut mon vieux, thanks for your friendly answer, well you'll see, it's not easy for some people to live in Europe till these days, I hope for you in the USA you are smarter than the people here and you would be able to overcome the old problems we do still have here with different nationalities, countries, languages etc, The French, The Germans, The Spaniards and so on, in my case my life begun as a mess, like you I have parents from different countries, my father German, my mother from Spain (I should say these two nationalities do have some sort of aversion toward each other tradicionally), my parents met first in London, UK, in the fifties, my mother was a nurse there, my father lived in Paris, France, and one day they married, my father had no longer relationships to Germany, even no family more here and no wishes to be living here, but I don't know much about the details (only what my mother told me), he died very young in Paris at a car accident in 1973, I have growed in Spain (Madrid) and my mother tonge is Spanish, I speak French pretty well and also German, I got some little problems at a young age in Spain, some kind of illness, I lost all relations with Spain and ended in Germany, because my passport has been always a german one, it was in 1983 that I came here, and well I must say I'm a foreigner everywhere, in America (maybe) it should not have been such a big problem but in Europe much of the people are still prehistoric and backward-minded, most of you in the USA and other countries as for example Argentina etc are mixed people as well although I know there are also problems with racism and some others, I don't know, the human spezies seem to be a primitive one and there is little hope they will become one day like the engels or some kind of extraterrestrials that surely do exist in the heavens out there, one can only hope for that, well I believe also in God but it is better not to speak about that in this forum you know.
As I said you I'm very curious about what and how you are doing, and about your old aquarium that needs to be revived, I'm looking forward to your recovery and I would be glad to entertain you as good as I could, if you want to correspond in French or Spanish with me I'll be also very pleased, say goodbye and see you very soon.
