What's funny is my older brother always used to take him outside in the backyard and do that older-younger brother thing: whipping his ass in a wrestling match. 16 pilgrimages to his master's dojo in Japan later, my younger brother still doesn't have the upper hand over him.
(And for comparison, my older brother is an actuary. His deadly weapon is health insurance derivatives.)
Perhaps the lesson there is that no matter what you do, family pecking orders supercede everything...

PS: Got to say you're right about the family pecking order. Its like at dinner, when my mom fills my dog's bowl first.
more into Automation (automated....processing,production,manufacturing etc...) and yes perhaps into Robotics, like building Gundams except not as fashionable.

very! i look forward to going back to europe to see other countries including holland when I have the time and money. but before that I intend to explore my neighboor countries more.
you learn alot by meting people, and the connections you make are priceless. It may lead you to some unexpected path in life.....or a new perception on the things we regard as tradition.

Exactly! That's why I'm planning a trip to the States cause I've seen Europe now. When I've gone there I want to visit Egypt and maybe one day Oceania & Indonesia cause I've heard so much about it (obviously history et all).
If you go to Holland, I suggest the following cities: Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Maastricht. They are the most diverse, you'll have seen it all

There's alot to see in Indonesia, but very few are easily accesable and the few that are, are usually not very well maintained (cleanliness and stuff).
I've been all over the states, I've been to all but 2 states: Alaska and Oregon (skipped it and went straight to Washington).
My father loved to Travel, thats why when I was living in the states, we managed to travel about every summer. Making Cross country trips. Many beautiful places, national parks, entertainment hotspots, technological brilliance. From mt. rushmore to crazy horse(wonder if thats done yet) to the sierras, to las vegas. Damn I miss my childhood
I'd love to go back someday, but for now I'd like to see other parts of the world, thats y my education is closely related to Germany (but I dont speak German nor Dutch).

Been to Maastricht several times, I love it.
That's good to hear!
Woh that's so cool man. My parents love to travel too but I come from a poor family so I've never been outside Europe. But I'm glad my parents taught me how to travel ever since I was born cause you can really use the experience.
Age 1 and they already had me in Barcelona
You know, that's not solely my decision to make :redface: So I gotta have a back-up motive!!!
