The English Thread
 
Alright guy's, I thought it be a good idea to create an english thread since I can't read swissgerman and the translator I use doesn't always work right. I like to visit someday, but money is a little tight with the economy being the way it is... So anybody like to introduce themselves if you haven't already?

Hi,
yes it is really expensive to come to europe for you. But the Dollar is rising, so it`s not that bad. I was in California this summer and I liked it. In this time the Dollar was very cheap, so I bought a lot of parts...

Where are you from?

Greetings

Hi there, I'm from Columbus, Indiana...



...must be nice to get a lot of cheap parts here in the States and I bet some are unique to you swiss folks. I've been wondering for a while, is swiss cheese REALLY "swiss" cheese? :lui:

How much would that cost to ship it here?

Silent Deatz 26.10.2008 15:55

AW: The English Thread
 
Up to 4 lbs. 15$

It would be a little packet. But enough for Swiss chocolat and cheese :)

interesting...I do have the first week of july off of work since July 4th is an American national holiday. I'd need to check what the dates are, but that would be cool to spend more time in switzerland then the currently planned june meet.

Hey Clueless, a big welcome from me too ! it's kinda rare that we see US folks on this board...funny that you actually found it AND kept reading it :rolleyes:

As pointed out already, this is actually a german board, and i'd say roughly 75% of the users are from Germany, 15% from Switzerland, and the rest from somewhere else, we like to call it the german side of Bodensee, actually german territory but because it's so close to switzerland the inhabitant would rather count to Switzerland :bleifuss: ok i just made that up but it sure looks that way when i am in the area hehe.
Oh and about the swiss-german/ german issue; basically swiss-german is merely a spoken language, we write and read in german, TV is german...ultimately leading to the language being somewhat a mysterious crypted tongue that the germans don't understand....but we understand them :liebe: Doesn't it sound fabulous ? it is....:bleifuss:

I'm from Zürich myself, and i can of course only agree with it being a great city. But then again, if you want to visit Switzerland, there is much more to see, i mean cities are nice to visit, but visiting the countryside and some Castles from the middle-age gives you a way better impression on the country/culture/heritage ! And there's some amazing scenic routes to discover with a Supra.

I've actually lived in Pontiac/Detroit/MA for 3 years as a kid, so actually kinda close to Indiana. So if you still wanna see Switzerland next summer, i'm sure i can help you out on a lot of things :)

Ahh, glad that I'm special! :bleifuss: I'm interested in visiting sometime when I can figure out how much money to save and all, but I doubt I'll have enough money to ship my supra over there.

Also, I just visited Detroit yesterday.... :D

Yeah I heard it on BBC at 6 o'clock in the morning (local time ;)) when he had his speech. I'm really happy about this result. What is your opinion about this election @clueless?

suprafan 05.11.2008 11:29

Yup, Obama is very popular here in Europe. That's probably also partly due to the media attention over here and partly to a general antipathy towards the Republican party (which IMHO has suffered a lot under GWB in the public opinion).
I personally think that McCain isn't as bad as some people over here think he is - at least he probably still would've been much more competent than Dubya. But Palin as a vice president is an absolute no-go.
Let's hope that Obama does a good job... and that he doesn't fall prey to some racist psycho (or to a CIA conspiracy :D).
Best of luck to you guys :)

(or to a CIA conspiracy :D)

You made my Day :bleifuss:

Anyway - I don't think that Obama is more at risk than any other President of the United States, there is always one who wants to shoot them. Wikipedia has the details.
And considering that Obama was elected also by many white People, im pretty sure that "change" already begun, at least in terms of racism, which is in my opinion one of the most important changes.

BTW this english thread is cool, finally a reason to practice my english.:engel2:

The guy has domestic terrorists connections, supported by acorn(fraudulently voting for dead people), His economic plan will bankrupt this country, He wants to change our constitution and take away our rights and liberties, and he lies through his teeth. Not to mentioned that he want cut military down by 25%, which I think is a bad idea considering that everybody hates us. There's be 5 or 6 attempts on his life and he isn't president yet...

Most People here working in Industries are Strangers, so I don't see a reason why they should not hire an american :)

I don't hate americans, quite the contrary, i think the united states are a great country and i want to go there one day, to visit some places I only know from pictures until now.
