The worlds most bestest place - Europeans gather here! :D [Part II]

[Shanhaigirl]

Dana, thanx for explaining! :hugz: But that "don't have" in canto is sooooooo weird! This hyerogliph just loses all it's meaning! I wish everyone would write using traditional letters, instead of simplified. But cantonese "don't have" is even worse than simplified, lol

aww, Dana, where do you always find this sad events? This is so sad, poor baby :cry:

[ftlouiea]

I'm glad you feel the same way Patya. It's just that the traditional letters are so much more... chinese. After all, we've used them for like... more than 4000 years? :dry:

Did you know, Korean letters used to be like the chinese letters before the Korean Civil War? Same for Japanese I think... <-- not sure about that :?

[Shanhaigirl]

too bad i'm much better at simplified chinese than traditional :shy: That's because in our uni we're taught chinese that is spoken in mainland China and learn traditional chinese and wenyan for only 2 years ><

Yeah, Koreans used chinese writing nowadays too, like in newspapers or when they write their names. Japanese too.

But i don't like the way koreans and japanese write hyerogliphics. it's ugly. Chinese write it much prettier :-)

[ftlouiea]

Yeah, thats understandable coz you're educated in China, I wish I could come over and give them Mainland Chinese people a slap across the face with a wet fish. That should do it, and then you'll be learning traditional, Patya!

They do? In papers and for names, is that why they have their own names that can be easily translated into Chinese and the names are in the same format e.g. Kwon (Surname) Sang Woo (Name). Ah that's just so nice, :love: *wakes up from SW oppa dream* whoops, sorry!

Hmm, I don't really like japanese modern letters, but the korean ones are cool! Lots of circles! Sometimes it all looks a bit jibberish, but when it's handwritten (especially by SW) it looks very flluent and beautiful... :rolleyes:

p.s. that baby with the mermaid disease- in news. I don't intentionally go looking for such news... :cry:

[Shanhaigirl]

lol, Dana! but i think it's already too late, half a year and i'll finish learning Chinese. not that i reached the highest level possible (really far from that), but they taught me all they could in uni :-)
I wish i could learn more traditional chinese, but i guess i have to do it on my own. well, Jay's lyrics help hehe. I've got much better at reading traditional chinese after getting into cpop, hehe

I like korean writing too! it's so nice, i love to write it! But i'm saying that them writing hyerogliphics is ugly ><

I'm not sure about the format of their names, but i guess that's one of the reasons.

[ftlouiea]

There is always time to learn, if you wish, the chinese language. Meh. My piano teacher told me about her husbands friend, when he retired, he was determined to play this one Chopin piece as his ambition. He tried to teach himself on an electrical piano, but later resided to my teacher to teach him. After being taught, he not only plays that piece; he bought a grand piano to play the piano as his hobby. Isn't that sweet :happy:

I like korean writing too! it's so nice, i love to write it! But i'm saying that them writing hyerogliphics is ugly ><

:wacko: I'm confused... :worry:

[Shanhaigirl]

aww, that's so sweet story that happened with your piano teacher!

and you know, koreans write in korean letters and they also have hyerogliphics (chinese). they use hyerogliphics in newspapers. i like korean letters, they are kinda pretty, but i don't like korean way of writing hyerogliphics. I don't know how else to explain :shy:

going off for now. night night! <3

[ftlouiea]

Hmm. So, Korean written language has both "Normal" words for everyday use, and also "Formal" words that showup in papers. *ponders on thought*

:sweat:

Oh well, sweet dreams Patya!

[caiyun]

patya.. you can read korean letters?? wow.. that's kewl.. hehehe.. i actually like korean letters.. like dana said.. so many circles ^___^;;

i used to learn traditional chinese, but changed teacher, now i learn simplified.. question: why is there a simplified chinese anyway? i think traditional is more beautiful.. hehe.. the characters look much better.. hehehe.. since when is it like that?? and do only the taiwanese still write traditional chinese??

~~
awwww. -12°C this morning.. is it also that cold where you guyz live?? i'm freeeeeeeeeeezing!! hehe..

oh yea.. and happy chinese new year ^__^

[ftlouiea]

i used to learn traditional chinese, but changed teacher, now i learn simplified.. question: why is there a simplified chinese anyway? i think traditional is more beautiful.. hehe.. the characters look much better.. hehehe.. since when is it like that?? and do only the taiwanese still write traditional chinese??

The simplified way started after the Chinese revolution right? When China became the People's Republic of China, I think. I'm not sure...

Both Taiwan and HK and anywhere where HK or Taiwanese people have migrated, continue to traditional letters!

Happy New Year

[caiyun]

thanx for the information, dana!! ^___^ ohh. so they use traditional letters in hk?! i don't know but i thought they have simplified.. someone told me o_O but in the movies and so on they always use traditional.. so i guess they use mainly traditional and some (some special people haha) use simplified.. iunno. haha.

i was wondering if any of you followed the ski world championship?? anyway. coz i'm from austria, and usually the austrian are quite good and have very good results.. but what happened to them this year?? hardly any gold medals *sniff* hahahahaha. (btw. i'm a non-skier =P)

[ftlouiea]

Austrians didn't win? So who did :?

It seems to me that Chinese New Year has a better atmosphere?
Well, today, I went to do my Community Service at a playgroup like I do every wednesday for this term and my supervisor, Celia, she got all the little boys and girls with little "red packets" and taught them to say Gong Hei Fat Choi to me! Mind, how sweet, for little 3 and 4 year old kiddies :hugz:

[caiyun]

hey wow.. the austrians won gold and silver today.. o_O surprise surprise!! haha, but i think all in all the austrian didn't do so well this year.. hehehehe..

dana.. that's really cute.. it's always so cute when lil kids say something.. especially when they speak cantonese.. i don't know why.. but i think lil kids speaking cantonese is cuter and more adorable than when they speak mandarin. hehe.

[JoYCe]

hi everyone~
is JOYCE again~~(forget it??)
i just came back from Paris~~
hahaha~~missing lesson~~
i was having gd time with my family~~
but now i have to do much more on my revision,
coz now is half term,
after it i have mock exam....... :dry:
anyway happy chinese new year~~ :-)

[Joey88]

It seems to me that Chinese New Year has a better atmosphere?

i thought this years chinese new year was probably the most boring in several years. There was many parties going on but all of them were just boring. i didnt get much red envelopes either... that means i didnt see a lot of relatives so that was pretty crud. im guessing your new year was more eventful?

Joyce: how was paris? were you just there for a holiday? ah... the memories of paris... *dreams*. what are your mock exams for? GCSE or A-Level or whatever? i got my scottish equivalent to A-Levels in May/June. SO not looking foward to it. Failed ALL my mocks for them.. highest grade i got was.... D.

[ftlouiea]

Lisa: the austrians lived up by winning some medals then :D
And kids are even cuter if they are caucasian and think the "fat" bit in gong hei fat choi is the slim/ fat meaning! :hugz:

Joyce, how was the Paris trip? Was everybody geared up into Lovely Valentine's Day :love:

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

Joey: it seemed to me that this year was better, after Sars and then the bird flu. As well as London trying to back the 2012 Olympics bid.
Work harder in your school studies! D is better than fails, but aim for As and A*s!

[JoYCe]

JOEY:i am AS ar~my mock exam is on next week........wanna die........

DANA:when i was there,i cant c too much decoration about it....
maybe coz i just go to the sights so.........

[caiyun]

joyce well, do better next time!! jia you!! ^___^ i'm glad my exams are over for this semester.. but there are many more next semester..

have anyone of you guyz heard about the BEC exam?? (probably the ones living in UK don't) it's a business english certificate-thingy.. i'm not sure if i should take it in may.. it's quite difficult and so expensive.. i was wondering if any of you guyz have ever heard about it, or probably one or two even took the exam?? o_O

hope you guyz had all a nice valentine's day ^___^

[xJayChoux]

Happy 14th Birthday Mik!

[Shanhaigirl]

aww, Mik, you forgot your own bday? :hugz:
Happy Belated Birthday to you! Hope you had a wonderful day :-)
So, did you get pressies? what did you do?

Lisa, breaks are always good :-)
I watched "Ray" ! I thought it was good too :-) . But i got so scared when he was packing his bag and suddenly felt his bro's hand in the water :cry:
I didn't even know that he had such a hard life. the drugs...>.< It's amazing that he managed to overcome it. He was a very strong person.

[FreaK]

hehe...thx thx again!!
hmm..yes i got some presents. i got a headset for the computer, a Pucca dvd and a book about Chinese Astrologiy from my brother. 100 euros from my other brother and 300 euros from my parents. i also got money from my uncle and aunt.
Lisa made a cute banner for me :flowers: thx Lisa :hugz:
and GeQian sang a nice birthday song for me. heheheh

hmm.. i spent the day with my family and my aunt, uncle and my cousins (XiaoWuan, Sweet_monkey)

[caiyun]

wow it became pretty quiet here. that's odd hehe. what's up with you guyz? ^___^ i guess most of you are busy with study and work, aren't you? i'm pretty busy too, school is so tiring. i rather spend my time in front of the pc than doing hw tho. hahaha. bad girl hehehe.

patya actually i didn't know ray charles at all. and i didn't know he was addicted to drugs too!! jamie foxx indeed deserves the oscars for his role as ray!!

[Joey88]

Its kinda died in here. I think we are all still getting over the terrible tragedy of Jay not coming to London. lets all have a moment of silence.

Anyways... I feel rather lonely in here. i see some people have opened up new threads "ne1 from London" and "ne1 from Holland"... i dont fit any of those catergories so i cant really talk in them. ah im bored. im kind of talking to myself here! will someone talk! has everyone gone on holiday or what?! having too much fun and not bothering visiting JCNET? you should all be ashamed. I got one word that sums this all up:

TUTTERS

[ftlouiea]

It's coz we're freeking scared of your avatar, Joey! :unsure:

I don't think it's necessary for the "Ne1 in London" thread to be opened, since we have so little people in UK thread already!

It's Spring, It's Spring!

[caiyun]

feel rather lonely in here. i see some people have opened up new threads "ne1 from London" and "ne1 from Holland"... i dont fit any of those catergories so i cant really talk in them.
me too me too! where are you come from?! france?! hehe.

so what really happened with the people here?? as for me, i'm soooo busy with school.. right now at the moment i should studying for my maths test actually.. but i can't help and come here and post a bit ^___^;;

i'm also sooooooooooo happy that spring finally is here.. it's getting warmer here and days become longer.. isn't that great?! =D we had about 25°C that's soooo good.. goodbye cold winter!! helloooooooooooooow spring! ^___^ (okay, i should get back to work. bleh!)

have a nice day, guyz!

[Joey88]

ah well. my easter is over. its 11pm.... got to start 3 essays and maths homework for tommorow. pretty screwed i reckon. i KNEW i shouldnt of watched Nip/Tuck on Skyone.... GODDAMMIT! had the whole of the easter holidays to do it but i leave it to the last minute. heres a lesson kids. im a fool.

neways. thankya dana for ur luring skills and got me to enter the JCNET chatroom. whatchya all think of it? or is there already a thread where they are talking about it? i dunno

Joey

[ftlouiea]

Aish! I have my last day today to SCRAM! Such a sunny day, the disease of not wanting to work again. :dry:

Happy Birthday to Caiyun!

[Shanhaigirl]

This place was so dead, thanx for reviving Joey :-)

Happy belated birthday to Lisa! :flowers:
wow, you seem to have a really nice weather! well, it got warmer here too, but weather forecast said it'd get cold again :oops:

all busy with school? aww :hugz:
jia you with studies! :yeah:

I'm sooooo lazy, i gotta finish my coursework soon, but i still have long ways to go to finish it :sweat: My teacher's gonna kill me hehe

[ftlouiea]

Aish, Patya, STILL with the coursework? Gawd, I feel for you!

Pope has died. Camilla and Charles wed.
Too many unhappy events over this 2 week break.

On the other hand, I'm going to listen to the JCNET mix of First Love! (Yue and Gracie set it up *clap clap* )

[Joey88]

did you all see the wedding? i missed it. i saw everyone start leaving though! it was on itv. didnt even get to see them kiss (darn). yes... ive got a thing for camilla.... and horses. i heard its been 35 year old relationship. they must be REALLY old.

ive got my exams soon. GODAMMIT! havent even started to revise. i might just leave it to the last minute or something. ah, how typical of me.

ciao, aufweidersehen, bye

[Shanhaigirl]

thanx Dana *sobsob* I can't wait till i finish the uni, i'm so sick of studying!

oh yeah, i heard about Camilla and Charles' wedding. So everyone really dislikes her in UK? poor lady lol

Joey, good luck with exams :yeah:
you wanted to see Charles and Camilla kiss? :glug: why? lol

[christinetang]

hey guys!

i read in the newspaper during the weekend that the couples friends have urged charles to kiss camilla on the lips than on the cheeks like he used to do when they were 'hiding away'...does anyone know if they did kiss on the lips or not?

I thought this wedding was gona be glamorous...what with it being a royal wedding...and camilla didnt wear a proper wedding dress as in the white dress etc....

[caiyun]

thank you guyz for the bday wishes!! ^___^ i feel so old now. hahahaha.. j/k

well i don't know if charles kissed camilla or not.. i only saw a bit of the beginning and a bit of the end >_< hehehehe.. i mean it's not really THAT interesting to watch the whole ceremony right =P

[ftlouiea]

Good Luck Joey: Last minute revision worked for me! :rolleyes:

Patya: Dislike is a bit of an understatement. :bleh:

Charles and Camilla didn't kiss. It would seem inappropriate apparently. Everybody MUST remember the 1981 wedding, or at least seen footage and photos. The reason why this second marriage does not have a white long dress etc, Christine, is because it would just be... inappropriate. :unsure:

Lisa: What did you do for your birthday? After all... your 18TH! Or did you have school? :dry:

[Joey88]

wow. i noticed there is actually a "news" button on google. ive never noticed it. the only buttons ive ever clicked on google are "images" and "google search". its got up to date news! apparently 40 minutes ago *checks the time* midnight?! britney spears confirms she is pregnant. i never even knew she was married...

oh. and apparently charles and camilla marriage isnt as fascinating as the Ken and Deirdre marriage in coronation street (i dont even watch it). anyone watch corrie and can give me an insight into the story?

[xJayChoux]

charles and camilla didnt kiss. thank god. its already unpleasant to know that theyre married. :wacko:

prince william looks like a good..."man"...lol. and i actually find prince harry a cutie but it was a huge shock when i saw him wearing a uniform with the nazi symbol. O_o

[ftlouiea]

Meeeh. Sinny, that was a MAJOR mistake. :unsure: But he's still a cutie, gotta give that to him. :rolleyes:

Joey: Course she's married! To that funny dancer guy who she walked down the aisle with in "My Prerogative" (don't know how to spell that) Imagine how fat and bloated Britney will become? I mean, you can tell from her body framework that if she didn't keep fit, she's probably be as obese as an ordinary American girl. :retard:

And I'm not obsessed with weight.

[jessca]

hm. Harry or William? :rolleyes:

marrying him wouldnt make you Queen, but Harry... :bleh:

as for the wedding, so long as we dont have her for Queen, im swayed. they looked so happy. aigoo they should have just done that 30 years ago. :oops: i've never really seen the point of a Royal Family, but its all part of being British. *sigh*

[ftlouiea]

She's being made Queen alright. :dry:

*goes to hunt for exceedingly (good, Mr Kipling)...... mad smilie* :profanit:

The football. Terrible hooligans :dry:

That woman with the leech up her nose. :retard:

*Dana generates highlights of the past few weeks and blurts them out as she types*

[jessca]

ill add to your list.

Pope John Paul II, May 5th election, scam scam scam, Baby Donald, Tesco success, Rover mess, the Rooney saga...

which reminds me. how long before we can outlaw Wayne and Coleen and get them out the country? :retard: im a man utd fan but it seems as though i need to turn to chelsea to watch decent football these days.

but im prepared to take it back come sunday. :excited: im not leaving the house. :sweat:

[ftlouiea]

*wipes blood from lip* :retard:

And to add to that : Death of Monaco's monarch.

Baby Donald? :hmm: I can only think of Trevor Mcdonald. :unsure:

Meeh. I'd actually not leave the house ever again if I see Coleen plastered over Vogue. How degrading, for the mag. :dry:
Call me not a follower, but is there a match on Sunday that should be of any significance? I can't recall any fixtures... Chelsea VS. MU maybe? :unsure:

[Joey88]

dana: sundays fixture is..... the FA Cup Semi Final: Newcastle v Man Utd.

WOW... McDonalds is 50 years old! im gonna celebrate by buying a cheeseburger and giving it to a homeless guy.

[Shanhaigirl]

lol, a not that big of an english football fan here
but sometimes watch it, 'cause it's the only league they show here ><
well, they show Spanish football too sometimes, but not too often *sigh*
and no italian at all *kicks russian tv*

anyways, it's getting cold in Moscow again :oops:
hate the changeable Moscow weather! It can get cold even in May!

[Joey88]

Cold in may?! i thought that was summer....

o i would love to watch Russian Football with the commentary and everything! there isnt any italian OR spanish football here unless you subscribe for Sky Sports which you have to pay... £40 per month.

[Shanhaigirl]

oh, Joey, really? well, luckily we get spanish football for free here, but it's only till the end of this year,'cause their our sports channel's contract with the spanish football association ends soon :oops:

May's spring, but yeah, Moscow is weird, can get cold almost any time of the year. So the safest season to come here is summer (like end of June, July, August), 'cause at least it stays warm. not that hot, but warm hehe. well, sometimes it can get really hot too.

[Joey88]

when i go on holiday i want to see sun! thats what i pay for (well i dont pay for it... my parents do). i dont wanna be freezing cold because i might aswell stay in UK. there is clouds... and rain.... and snow.

im not really interested in spanish football much anyways nor itialian (hooligans ¬¬) footnall. i probably would be more interested if i actually watched it. right now im too preoccupied with this "Slinky" my sister bought me.

[ftlouiea]

Joey: Ah I see, Newcastle VS MU. A certain Jess will be stoned if she walks out into town parading her MU shirt. :laughing:

Patya: At least it's near Summer.

[caiyun]

dana my birthday was on monday, school till 4 and then tutoring from 5-6.30pm >_< not that great. hehe. but i celebrated yesterday with my friends. it was a nice evening! =D

i'm not a big football fan either, but i like to watch it, sometimes. i used to watch every ManU match they showed on austrian tv ^__^;; too influenced by my cousin haha. sooo how was the match, new castle vs. manu today? =D

[jessca]

A certain Jess will be stoned if she walks out into town parading her MU shirt. :laughing:not if she forgot the match was happening and spent the afternoon revising :oops:

i was washing the dishes after dinner before and i literally shrieked, shouting to my dad in the living room asking him to verify for me that i had indeedy missed the entire thing.

how on earth could i miss Man Utd vs Newcastle!?! :bang:

so what are the odds i miss the man utd arsenal final then. :retard:

[ftlouiea]

Lisa: *squints* What a bad day for your birthday to fall on! At least you celebrated with friends! Good on you! :rolleyes:

Jess: Indeed you'll be stoned.... by ME! Aish, at least you were revising. I forgive you :rolleyes: But it was such a brilliant match! Now really, don't you forget the final... or I'll just have to come and slaughter you... :shifty: Of course not! :hugz:

[Joey88]

ooo i dont know who to support in the final since i am the biggest gloryhunter this world has ever seen. so ill vote for the winner.

i see the reincarnation of 2 old european threads: Fave Euopean food and European Languages by some noob. lets all point and laugh and the noob. way noob! 2 posts. bleh... we've all been there haha.

[Ying Hao]

hi there,
i am new, here but trying to find things out here...

and i live in europe logically i should post here some? ;-)

well, i live in Holland (groningen) and i am 100% chinese.
euhm.. some about myself?

before i do so.. first let's see how interested people are :p :excited:

[Joey88]

hi im joey.

we were JUST talking about noobs.

is that you in the pic cos that is frickin amazing. ive been to holland... the airport anyways. o and ive been to the Amsterdam ArenA (cant remember much of it though. jsut remember it was raining and my bratwurst [no... im not talking about THAT bratwurst... im talking about the sausage... sickos.] was getting cold)

ive just realised, i dont know how to use the emoticons... ive never used them in any of my posts. i only use the goddamn normal ones which people have to tilt their heads to see, example ":)"

[ftlouiea]

We're going to win. And before I bore everybody else to death... I'll stop now. :unsure:

Noobs? You can talk! :laughing:

:wave: Ying Hao! Be sure to check out the Holland thread!

OMFG how could you not have used those emotions? As they say "Once you start, you can't stop." And life has never been the same after JCNET smilies. I stand witness. :rolleyes:

[Joey88]

me? a nooobbbb? lolol.... i actually started 3 months after you ¬¬.

goddammit! i dont know how to use the emoticons! its soooo annoying. a little tutorial please.... since i am ever so stupid. well im sure i can live without it... ive always got xanga smileys and msn emoticons to keep me happy incase i have the need to produce faces.

[ftlouiea]

Lol Oh well. You've just reminded me! I must celebrate my 1 year birthday at JCNET soon! :bounce: Now how to celebrate :hmm:

Joey: Above this "Quick Reply Box" on the left, you see a "New Reply" button. Click that, and it takes you to a page dedicated to posting a new post. Below the selection of smilies on the right, it says "More Smilies" or something like that. Press that and a whole catalogue of smilies will pop up. It'll come to a stage when, like me, you have your favourite smilies and know the codes of them by heart. :rolleyes: <--- See!

Must hurry to dinner, Ciao! Hasta la vista :shifty:

[Joey88]

:excited:

IMMENSE!

finally! :bounce: i can finally use them! :yeah: oooo im gonna be soooo addicted to them.
once you pop u cant stop :thumbsup:

its soooo simple! how can i possibly NOT kno how to use then? :imstupid:

celebrate :drunk:

/edit forgot to thank you dana :thanks:

lol... using too much :-)

[ftlouiea]

:welcome: Joey into the smilie bubble!
No problem lil bro, aren't they just... THE BEST!

Soon, 3 weeks to be precise, Exam period begins again. And of course the main goal:
Long-and-boring-which-everybody-spends-years-preparing-for--EXAMS. :sweat:

[iki_miki]

hello , everyvody i'm from belgium and i live there for a while i'm 16 ...soon 17

[Joey88]

Well its exam season. :dunce:

Im guessing everyone is away busily revising hard trying to learn EVERYTHING. No wonder this thread has been so quiet. Anyways, good luck to everyone whos doing them.

I am trying to revise. All is going... wrong. Lets all hope for the exams we deserve lol. even me. :sweat:

P.S: still loving the smilies. yusssssss


//edit: am i talking to myself here or wOOt!?

[princessKitty]

[ftlouiea]

:welcome: Miki from Belgium, the Chocolate heaven!

Joey: Lol, the word "loner" comes to mind. :laughing:

Princess Kitty, you're right. As long as we try our hardest, we'll be fine. At least we've passed our own 'gate' of having done all we tried. Except who isn't a procrastinator? (Can't spell that.) And anyway, that sounds cheesy. :happy:

Currently, trying to revise Stats. And uploading stuff onto Clubbox!

[Irina]

Hello!! ^^

I'm from Singapore and I feel like going around international forums to chat with you guys!! =)

Just to come here and congratulate London for winning the bid for hosting the 2012 Olympics!!! Just got this news a few minutes ago!!!

[ftlouiea]

Haha, hey Spax!

Aren't we just great? No Parisians here right? Anyhoo RIGHT IN YOUR FACES!

:unsure: :happy:

[Shanhaigirl]

Yay for London! :excited: Go Londoners! :yeah:

I was rooting for Moscow, but ...:oops: *kicks IOC*
where did they get the info that July is the rainy season in Moscow?! :glug: July is the best month in Moscow!!! :oops:
and it's not like terrorist attacks happen here all the time >< All the world suffers from it, not just Moscow :dry:

Oh well, happy for London and Londoners! :-) :hugz:
will try to visit London in 2012 hehe :D

[spax]

Oh yes BTW, do you guys know that the 117th IOC session was held in Singapore?? I watched the television live yesterday and when they announced the results, I was a bit shocked!!! o_O I thought Paris would win the bid for hosting the 2012 Olympics!!!

Wow!! This was really a close fight!!! London won Paris by just 4 votes!!!

Congrats again to London!!!! =)

[Shanhaigirl]

We just yesterday congratulated London with Olympics 2012, but today...
How could this happen?! this is so wrong, so unfair, so horrifying!
:cry:
My condolescences to all Londoners :cry:

I so hope that all our Londoners are fine! :hugz:

I was so shocked to see the news tonight... It's so terrifying, what has happened.

I know I don't drop in here but I just hope everyone and their families and friends are okay. We'll all be thinking of you.

I hope London and the rest of Europe can remain peaceful and is able to recover from this incident...

*hugs*

[ker_ai_teresa]

I've just heard about the bombings too. apparently they're linked to the G8 summit?
some people just go too far in their protests. How will murdering innocent people help the cause?

anyway, we're all thinking about you guys.

[ftlouiea]

Guesses are, it really does have something to do with G8. And a coincidence it had to happen straight after our rejoicing with the Olympic bid. :depresse:

Concern for all Londoners at 8.49AM, especially those who had the thought they were going to work like any other day.

[spax]

Oh my god!!! Another terrorist attack in London!! It is really shocking to see this happening while people are celebrating for winning the bid for hosting the 2012 Olympics.

These terrorists are too much...killing innocent lives around the world. I hope they can think exactly what they had done over the past years....

I express my condolences to all Londoners.

[aznbballer]

i heard the news last night from my sister who is living in London at the moment, hope all londoners are well.
Has it actually been confirmed it was a terroist act or are they just assuming that?

[ker_ai_teresa]

*hugs Dana* :hugz:

I sat in front of the tv set this morning for 2 hours watching the coverage. It's more horrific than I first thought.
Whether or not it was linked to the G8 summit, or whether or not it was an act of terrorism, remains to be seen. The positive thing (if we can call it that) was that the emergency service did a super job of coordinating the rescue effort, hence more lives were saved. thumbsup to the police, fire brigade and medical personnel!

[yenny1106]

i was really shocked, n i felt disgusted by the pple who do such things...just wanna wish those who r affected by this to stay strong.

[ftlouiea]

Aznbballer: I hope your sister is unaffected in any way, whether it be friends or relatives. :unsure:

:hugz: *hugs Teresa and all my unnies and dongsengs forever*

The positive thing (if we can call it that) was that the emergency service did a super job of coordinating the rescue effort, hence more lives were saved. thumbsup to the police, fire brigade and medical personnel!

My thoughts exactly. And the ironic thing: the bus exploded right outside the British Medical Association :oops:

Let's not dwell on the past, yes? Finding the missing, and then finding the guilty is all we can do before we have to move on like many Londoners are doing so now.

I agree with that. But wouldn't it be prevented there is high security all the time? Also, before incidents like this, are the citizens aware about how to do their part on preventing terrorism? Like, the government can raise awareness for citizens to do their part to prevent this incident from happening. For example, if citizens see any suspicious stuffs lying around public areas lijke bus interchange or in the Underground, they can report to the police immediately. That's what the Singapore government do to us.

What I want to point out is that it is everybody's duty to prevent this such incident, not just the government. We should not take things for granted.

[ftlouiea]

:-x I hope its not just my ignorance that picked up on what you're trying to say here. Sometimes there are flaws in security systems because we're all human, its not as we anticipated that something like this will happen. And of course, all people have been warned to report unknown baggage and packages. It's also common sense. We've also received leaflets on 'How to react in the case of terrorist attacks' last year giving us advice on how to react.
I don't think anybody AT ALL has started blaming the government itself, no blame has been put on anyone. If any, we've highlighted some areas that may have lead to the attack. We couldn't have done much more to prevent this happening, coz it was planned to happen regardless. I hope you understand that.

[spax]

Ok. I understand that. Maybe I'm not so aware about it beforehand. I just wanted to share my opinion. Sorry if I've caused any trouble here.

Anyway, besides that, I think we, from different countries should fight terrorism together. I'm glad that many people are doing their part to prevent terrorist attacks. Also, we should be prepared all the time as things can come without warning.

[Joey88]

the terrorist attack in london.

i became a little suspicious when i heard about it. i was sitting in a sushi restaurant munching on a slice of salmon. then it came on the news.

the g8 summit protests. i saw many banners saying "Fight Poverty Not War". it was a bit strange how the bomb went off during the time of the protests. the world leaders knew that everyone wants us to pull out of the war as they are obviously not going to find anything in iraq. maybe.... this bomb was put off purposely so we remain in the war effort. trying to get us to continue with the war. we all know how evil the government is. democracy my arse.

i dno. *shrugs* just a hunch. ive been watching too many conspiracy programs on tv.

[scarletwillow]

Fighting terrorism creates more terrorism.

Terrorism is a way to spread ideas through the vehicle of violence.
Fighting the vehicle will do nothing.
To combat terrorism correctly, the ideology must be attacked.

That does not include conquering countries for oil.

[Irina]

Hello! I am from Europe too.
My country is seldom hear,but anyway its Lithunia on the coast of Baltic sea.

[xJayChoux]

welcome Irina! :wave:

oh i know Lithunia! have never been there though. i wonder how it's like to live there...care to tell us more about Lithunia?

i'm sinny...but i think you knew that already...:sweat:

[Irina]

Hello Dear Sinny! :wave:
Sure I know you and actually you are Shinhwa luver too! :happy:
Yes Lithuania is very seldom to hear country!Only one thing makes us know is basketball,Lithuanian guys are pretty well known and won a lot of awards,like last year we were the champions of Europe also we have bronze medal on Olimpic games,dont remember the year,maybe in 2000 it was in Sydney!
Lithuania lies in the eastern Europe, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. In the north Lithuania borders with Latvia, in the east and south with Byelorussia, in the south-west with Poland and with the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation.
The most terrible thing to me is that Lithuanian people are not interested in Asia stuff at all!!! :cry: So all my pals,mates,parents,relatives were very surprised that I adore China and listening only chinese,korean and japanese music!

[xJayChoux]

wait. stop it right there. are you asian? :sweat: because it sounds like youre not...your friends were surprised that you like asian stuff right? so if you are asian...they wouldnt be surprised. :hmm: right. ok...aish. mianhae, i dont know Lithuania's basketball team. >< i dont know much about basketball, though i like to play it. :sweat: but yeah...i can talk about footie if you want. xD but oh oh! yes! i know you like Shinhwa!!! Hwaiting! so...to which chinese/korean/japanese artists do you listen to besides Shinhwa? =D and how did you get to know these..."asian stuff" as you call it. lol. are there any fun things to do in Lithuania? o___o

[Irina]

Sinny:You are smart girl!=)I am russian first of all,also in this forum there are only 2 russian girls its me and Patya^.^

Chinese:of course I love Zhou Jie Lun,S.H.E,also I like some songs of Jolin,Landy,F.I.R
Japanese:Ayumi Hamasaki
Korean:Shinhwa,Bi/Rain,KangTa
Talking about how I get involved in "Asia stuff",its all begun last year in December,when I started chatting,because I have to improve my English,and the first guy with whom I started chatting was from Taipei,yes he is Chinese.At that time I was listening only USA stuff,because I thought that chinese music and language is very funny and weird!So that guy send to me by e mail all S.H.E albums and I really started to like chinese music and language and now I simply adore it!!!It was coming my birthday(4 of February)and Jack told me to surf the internet for some other chinese artists and he will send me an album.Accidently I found Jay Chou,when I saw his pic,I just fall in love with him,especially I love chinese narrow eyes.You look very special!And he send me Jays 5th album QLX.Others 4 album I have DL by myslef and in February I have already joined jc.net forum!:)
But thats not the end,I am in 12 grade in school now and next year I will finish my school,so I decided to enter the university in Minsk.Belarus for study there The Chinese language,purpose of all my life is to live in China.So these past year I have changed really much.My parents,sisters,pals,relatives they are shoked!But thats my life and I know what I want.

[xJayChoux]

eeep, sorry for my late reply! mianhae <3

I do live in Europe, the Netherlands. that little country next to germany? :sweat:

[Irina]

Sinny>I do like Europe too,recently this summer I have visited Prague and that city is awesome,especially bridges!And Jay have filmed his Nin Teng De Dao MV there.But China is such an incredible country,like I do like Japan,Malaysia,South Korea and sure Taiwan,asian people are so unknown to me and its really different from my culture and country,so I really want to change my life,I already know what I love...okies,I can talk for hours about Chinese people,culture and so on.Thats really nice that Jay have been in Europe for so many places like Venice,Milan,Istanbul and Prague^.^
Yeah,I really want to preoder Jays 6 album,but I have to ask dads permission,hope he will give me money! :oops:

[xJayChoux]

^aww...i want to go to Prague some time...but i have no idea what i can expect, if you know what i mean. so...are you planning to have an asian bf? :brows: lol. anyway, yes...it's cool that Jay has been to so many countries in Europe, but why doesn't he come to the Netherlands? =( it's an interesting country too, you know...*coughcoughcough* :whistle: oh, i want to pre order jay's album too! but i've bought a lot of things from yesasia not too long ago...and i'm afraid my dad will get mad if i ask for his credit card again...even though i'll pay him back. i also want to buy FTTS' 6th album and 1TYM's 5th...and Tim's 3rd...AND Se7en's 3rd...so...that's a lot of money. :sweat:

[crusty-applepie]

Hi Sinny,

What's the nearest city to Rijswik? Im gonna be in Rijswik for about 2 weeks, end of next month and I really really wanna get to anywhere where there's an H&M (to get a hold of those Stella Mccartney designs they have on sale starting 10Nov) :D . Will I be nearer to Amsterdam or Rotterdam? Most maps I find don't show Rijswik on the map. Maybe it's because it's such a small town.

I've been to some countries in Europe before but I've never really been to Netherlands. I just passed by it during a trip to Brussels but I've never really gone around Amsterdam or any of the cities. Im so excitied to finally get to see it. I wish this trip were in the summer, though. I would have loved to see rows and rows of tulips just like what I see in pictures. :D

[Irina]

Dear Sinny:I have tiped the experience how was my summer holidays in Prague,I will include this in the end of my post.
Actually never try to come in Lithuania,because u are chinese and here are no asia people,and if I see some people sometime with narrow eyes,I cant stop staring at them,also other people do so too!lol
talking about bf,yeah,I havent got bf and u are right I am intersted only in chinese guys,so my secret dream is to marry chinese!ha,ha
And I think that Jay even dont know about such a country as Lithuania:(I think we have to go in Taipei or Hong Kong to see him,no chance to wait while he will come in our countries.
I have been in St.Petersburg(Russia),England(London),Germany,Fran ce(Paris and Disneyland)and Recently Czech Republic.
Also on Wednesday I am going by car with mom and dad in Belarus to visit some relatives.I will return in Lithuania on the weekend but not in my town-Klaipeda.We will visit my elder sister in Lithuanunian capital-Vilnius,she is living and working there.So only on Monday I will be at home;)See ya!Take care!
Prague:
This trip was organized by my school teachers. So we (Me, my twin sister Svetlana, Kate and Marie) accepted the offer and left to the country of all things to all people from the pulsing capital Prague to the back-in-time villages of Moravia, from toiling up mountains to lounging in spas, there's an experience to suit every taste.
This trip lasted for 5 days. Before reaching Prague we spent whole day and night in the bus. Truly saying it was quite uneasy, we barely could move. In the early morning we finally reached Prague. Prague is filled with beauty and can be enjoyed and explored for days, months, or a lifetime. Unfortunately we could spend only 1 day in this amazing, historical city. The weather was perfect, sunny and dry. Our familiarization started with Old Town Hall tower. As it was early morning, tower was kept closed. So we had some free time to hang around. To my astonishment in that place I noticed lots of Asian group tourists (mostly Chinese and Japanese). I couldn’t stop gazing at them. So we decided to take snapshots together. We mustered up our courage and went for them. We took pictures with many Japanese. They were amazingly friendly. None of them refused to pose for a snapshot with us. Then we had to climb to the top of the Old Town Hall tower for a great view of the square and beyond. Well, actually we enjoyed a lot. Then we went to Charles Bridge were we had opportunity to touch the most popular statue of St. John, Czech saint who was executed and thrown into the Vltava River from the bridge. The plaque on the statue has been polished to a shine by countless people having touched it over the centuries. Touching the statue is supposed to bring good luck and ensure your return to Prague. Later on our journey continued in Prague's historical centre- Old Town Square. The square has been beautifully restored and it is a good place to start your visit to Prague. There we could see the Gothic spires of the Tyn Church towering over the square and the statue of reformer Jan Hus, and the Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Hall on the opposite side of it. During our familiarization with the Old Town we had a brake in Japanese restaurant, where we refreshed ourselves with fresh Sushi and Sake. Concert of Dancing Fountains concluded our first day in Prague. Water and lights accompanied by music and on occasion, people. This is actually far more enthralling than it sounds - really.

After having a good sleep in a cosy hotel we left Prague and went to Liberec- historical and cultural centre of the Czech Republic. Our main purpose there was to visit the largest covered entertainment centre in the Czech Republic- Centrum Babylon, where the largest tourist attraction is the theme Aqua Park, with system of pools water-slides, saunas and various water attractions located in the pleasantly romantic environment of ancient spas. Due to my weariness I decided not to visit Aqua Park but to shop around. Truly saying, I don’t regret at all. I took CD player with me and listened to Jay songs. I enjoyed being alone, solitude for some hours was a necessity.

On the last day, on our way to Hrensko (town of mountains) we visited two medieval castles. The symbol of Cesky raj, Trosky Castle, now in ruins, which was built on two high peaks of volcanic origin, and Kost Castle which lies in between the sandstone rocks. Main purpose of the last day was to climb Hrensko Mountains. It was really hard and complicated to climb them, but it definitely worth it. The top view of mountains was so awesome and breathtaking that I even can’t express it. In the conclusion of our trip, the last adventurous excursion waited for us- water trip on the boats. Unfortunately, it started raining before our trip began and the last journey was not as pleasant as others. But anyway, even under such extreme weather we enjoyed our trip.
So our adventures end here. Exhausted and happy we got into bus and left Czech Republic.

crusty-applepie, hi hi! *waves* what's your name? ooooh you're coming to the Netherlands! yay! but why are you going to Rijswijk? Den Haag, Amsterdam and Rotterdam are much more fun. :sweat: but anyways, your question...Rijswijk is in the middle of these two cities. >< it's close to Den Haag...and Den haag is close to Zoetermeer (pssst WHERE I LIVE! :wink2:) but yeah...you can easily travel from Rijswijk to Amsterdam or Rotterdam if you want...the Netherlands isn't that big. ._.

Irina! :excited: OMG! your trip sounds fun! it must be so cool to see all those historical buildings and towers, etc. now i really want to go to Prague. ._. was there snow on the top of these mountains? otherwise it's no fun. ._. lol. but oh... i hope i can visit Lithuania sometime, i don't care if they are looking at me...i've had it worse in morrocco. believe me. *dies* and isn't Paris so romantic at night? :love:

[crusty-applepie]

Sinny call me Rhea...or CA :happy: About Rijswik, i know....I've heard from a lot of people that there isn't really much to see there but since it's for work, then I guess I've got to. Anyway, it isn't too far away from Amsterdam or Rotterdam, I imagine. So Im sure it'll still be fun. I'll make sure and drop you a line if I ever come by Den Haag or Zoetermeer :wink2:

Irina hello! wow, you've been to some really beautiful places. I've never been to Prague myself but eversince I've seen Jay's video, I've also wanted to come and visit. Although I may not have time to swing by Prague this trip, I definitely am looking forward to see the place someday.

Paris really is romantic especially at night...with all the lights. I enjoyed the Eiffel Tower, especially. What a great view of the city of lights :D

[Irina]

Sinny mei:There was no snow on the top of mountains;)Actually I have bunchy photos to share if someone interested! :whistle: And if you will come in Lithuania,do tell me,also Lithuania is much more cheaper country than the Netherlands and you can also stay in my apartment,we have a lot of free rooms,and my dad is always in the sea,so I am living only with my twin sister and mom,so u are most welcome! :happy:

Hello Rhea: :wave: Where are you from?So you have visited Paris too? :excited: Thats amazing city!And Eiffel tower is magnificent!!! :-)

[crusty-applepie]

Irina Hi :wave: I'm from the Philippines but I've been to a few places in Europe...including Paris. I studied in Sweden for a couple of years so I had the opportunity to go around to a few places, although not as much as I would have wanted to :happy:

My friend and I are thinking of taking a trip down to Barcelona in our weekend off but we're still trying to work out the details. Other places we're considering are places nearby Netherlands, probably Luxembourg. Im trying to go someplace I've never been before since I've already been to Brussels and Paris. I'm sure looking forward to some good cheese :happy: I looove cheese but there just aren't good cheeses available in the Philippines.

[Irina]

Rhea:Sorry fot the late reply.So u are not chinese?And thats cool to study in the Sweden,my elder sister was studying there too for 8 month and now she is living and working in Lithuanian capital-Vilnius in Swedish company,she learned by herself Swedish language while studying there. :happy:

[Darkness]

Hi guys :)

I'm from France, near Paris. But Chinese :)
Decided to join this tread because the french tread is most of the time kind of empty :/ feel lonely... ;p

I didn't read the first pages, there are so much ^^"

[Irina]

Hello Darkness!!
Oh Paris,great city,especially Eiffel tower,I have visited Paris and Disneyland last year,it was amazing!!^.^
So you are living in Paris since childhood?

[Darkness]

Hi ^^

Lol! don't like Eiffel Tower a lot, but I wished I could see her when it was red for the Chinese New Year, must had been beautiful ^^

I was born in Paris :)

[Irina]

Darkness:Maybe u dont like France very much?Have u also visited Disneyland?I spend there whole day and that was unforgettable!!

[Darkness]

Lol! I really like France, but things like Eiffel Tower and stuff don't attract me, as for me it's usual, I live there ^^
I used to go once a year to Disneyland, pretty cool ^^ don't remember the price to enter... that was so long ago...

Hey, did any of you guys went to the asian quarter? ^^

[princessKitty]

Hiya!
I'm from Europe....London.Don't know if anyone like Londoners but anyway. I was born, fed and educated here so this is my home.
I've been to France before. I went to the Eiffel Tower but I didn't go right to the top, I was too scared!I also went to Disneyland and it was good! The only bad thing was.....Our family went during the most coldest season, January, it was so cold, I coudn't feel my feet.:cry:

[Sparkling_Jade]

Hey guys! It's nice to see the European thread revived again. It's been quiet for some time.. I'm Heidi and I live in Finland, it's a relatively small country in Scandinavia, between Sweden and Russia.

Crusty: OOH Barcelona is superb!! We were there last year with all the seniors in our school, and it's so beautiful. Especially all the Gaudi park and all the amazing buildings he designed in the downtown. And Sagrada Familia, of course.

Darkness: I've always wanted to visit Paris. But I'm not very good at speaking french, so I do't know how I would cope there.. Actually I'm just writing an essay in french >_< merde. Hee

Irina: My sister lives in Sweden too! She decided to go to Uni there and that's how she learned swedish. Cool, we have something incommon ^^

Kitty: Hehe, why wouldn't anyone like londoners? We're planning a trip to London with my friend, cause it's so cheap to fly there, like only 75euros one way.

[princessKitty]

Sparkling_Jade Well, when i went to france, a lot of them kinda, well didn't really treat us good. i went to italy and a man said 'son ingles' meaning 'they are english'.
Well maybe not all europeans are like that. many still hold a grudge against us because of history.:?

[Irina]

Sparkling_Jade:Gosh,you are not so far from me that is nice!!What is ur name?Also we are both 18 years old,he,he So you are chinese?My sister now is working in Lithuanian capital-Vilnius in Swedish company,but she hopes to move in Sweden.
