Hi Janz

I think all periods or phases of life are interesting, but they're often interesting in very different ways.

One interesting part of my life was the time I spent living and working in Germany. That was a period that lasted nearly 18 years. One very interesting aspect of living in Germany was the experience of being a foreigner. I didn't speak much German when I arrived in Germany, so it was very interesting to see how people reacted when I tried to speak to them in German. During my first year or so, I guess I said some pretty hilarious things in my broken German. My German friends used to laugh at me pretty often because of the "interesting" mistakes I made when I tried to speak to them in German. One thing I remember quite clearly was a question I asked my best friend's three-year-old son about 6 months after I had arrived in Germany. I said to him (in my very best German -- which wasn't very good at the time) "Does the way I talk sound strange to you?" He looked at me very seriously, apparently thought about my question a bit, and then gave me his very honest and simple answer: "Yes."
Fortunately, my German improved, and my friend's son gave me a "passing grade" a few years later. Laughing

Hullo janz...

Life is interesting, and unexpected, which makes it more interestingly worthwhile.
I got bunch of interesting periods in my life...
Well, what I got in my mind now is my early time in university where I got to know so many people and of course, my best friends. It was actually a transitional phase in my life and so many things had changed ever since. My attitude and perspective towards life, my belief, my interests, everything in my life seems to be moving forward with an inexplicable fast pace... "From zero to hero", this phrase might be the best (though I'm not a hero anyway) to describe how I develop through this very stage of my life... I'm so grateful that I met the people I know now, that I took the path I travelled, that I finished what I started well, that I dare to dream and believe, that I didn't lose myself in the dark, that I am who I am truly is...

"I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrows of live! To put to rout all that was not life... And not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived..."

Let me down for no reason? I don't think it's possible... when life lets me down, there must be some certain reasons which caused it.
Are you asking whether I ever get tired of living my life? Very Happy

no I didn't mean asking you tired of your life, I was just mention that sometime life is let you down, for example, for no reason your gf break up with you, does this mean life let you down for some reason? and I didn't meant your gf is about to break up with you, I was just giving an example. sorry if you mind that sentence
