[QUOTE="Herr R aus B, post: 848029, member: 62807"] I appreciate the effort you put in marketing your place! :-) If only I had the money and the time... The sphere we are living on ist so small if you look at it when you live somewhere around Alpha Centauri - but judged from the Berlin point of view it's rather large :-) Thus, expensive and time consuming :-) How many times did you peronally go to Europe? ;-) It definately is! Here you can have [URL='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p585T_hwEE8&feature=related']a look at the ship[/URL] :-) I am somewhat hooked on this container ship stuff - it's a completely different world and you really can get off everything. Very refreshing and inspiring! And the accomodation is much better and much more exciting then going on a regular cruise ship (especially if those sink and burn and bla...). Plus you live together with the officers and crew, you are always welcome on the bridge and you can do nice trips at shore while the ship is taking cargo in different ports. [URL='http://richrath-online.net/reisen/frachtschiff2010/']Look here - this was in 2010[/URL].... Did the same thing again in 2012 and meanwhile I know a lot of ppl working on the ships of that particular company and everybody is very friendly and helpful. In 2012 the company even asked me, whether I would be willing to be part of a TV report on ppl travelling on container ships.

Btw. Bavarians would agree on that.
