This is driving distance, that's standard... when I want to go to somewhere I check how many km's it is to drive to there... quite normal I think?

Haha, that is rather insane. It will also not be fun at all :/ . Let's just hope I can afford it.

It says "flight time 30 minutes"
Too bad that Teublitz has no airport

Frankly I could not be happier that it is in Germany. I was very excited that it might be in Hong Kong, but I used to live in Germany when I was younger, so that's one of the few places I would have liked even better than Hong Kong!

Can't wait to see you all again!

Chris lived in germany?! This sounds vaguely familiar, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me!

I'm okay with germany, it's cheap to fly too, and means I probably won't have to take too much time off school. (Like I care )

Has anyone else traveling from overseas bought their plane tickets yet? I'm trying to estimate what a good rate would be. I'm finding tickets in the low $600 US dollar range, which I think is extraordinarily good and probably due to the world economy right now. Is anyone else finding cheaper tickets? I'm using kayak.com
