I always thought of myself as rude and very nosey and make people uncomfortable by asking and giving peculiar questions, comments and funny may I say and so I am surprised when a German told me I am actually OK and very acceptable! Perhaps that's also the same reason why they are not really a 'good European neighbour'.

He is now staying in Germany and he wish to have a complete collection of letter envelope sent to him affixed with beautiful stamps from each country of the world. (for Asia exclude Singapore) He will also do the same and paste beautiful Deutsch stamps on the envelope in return.

If you are interested, you can give me your email address and I'll get him to contact you if he is also agreeable. Anyone wants to go Deutschland backpacking next year? (hopefully things get cheaper then)
