At the time my grandpa was studying for his medical degree, but he had to enlist for military service, but instead of joining the infantry he served as a railway engineer. His crew was captured at some stage, and he was put in a Prisoner of War camp in the South. I'm not sure how many years he was there for, but during that time he managed to get hold of an English dictionary, and he taught himself English using it. When he was released, he worked as an English interpreter for the South Korean government and got to travel overseas a lot. When he went to the United States, he saw the opportunity there and was very impressed by Western civilisation (since Korea was a total hole at the time blah: I can see the "it still is" jokes coming)).

Talk about a will.

I was born and live in Melbourne, Australia.
My Dad was born in Palermo Italy, whilst Mum was born here, but to Italian parents (who were born in Pescara).

Australia is a very multi-cultural place for all of you who have never been here before. We don't really have any one particular culture as we have many, made up by all those different nationalities that live here.

No one here in Australia has forgotten there heritage, whether they are Italians, Greeks, Asians, or whatever...they still do things the way they did when they were back in their homelands.

I love Australia, its a great place, but hopefully one day I can visit all these beautiful places from where you guys come from.

Thanks.

London. Where an improvement in crime related violence means you are now less likely to get shot and more likely to get the shit kicked out of you.

I am 75% Shemakha (old capitol of Azerbaijan- in the 17 and 18 hundreds) and 25% Bilajari (one of old Baku villages). Both places have always been Azeri territories.

We've traced my family back to 1789.

Sorry, can't resist...

This watch was
on your Daddy's wrist when he was
shot down over Hanoi. He was
captured and put in a Vietnamese
prison camp. Now he knew if the
gooks ever saw the watch it's be
confiscated. The way your Daddy
looked at it, that watch was your
birthright. And he'd be damned if
and slopeheads were gonna put their
greasy yella hands on his boy's
birthright. So he hid it in the
one place he knew he could hide
somethin'. His ass. Five long
years, he wore this watch up his
ass. Then when he died of
disentary, he gave me the watch. I
hid with uncomfortable hunk of
metal up my ass for two years.
Then, after seven years, I was sent
home to my family. And now, little
man, I give the watch to you.
