  1. Maybe. But once you´ve paid all these things you just have to pay (like electricity or food), there´s only a certain amount left to spend on things like flights. And unfortunately, it is of little benefit to me if a flight is cheaper than my electricity bill but still more expensive than what I can afford for a trip.
  2. Actually, you've already done a lot to keep your costs as low as possible, there's not much more you can do. The fact is, traveling has become significantly more expensive (This is very painful for me as a globetrotter ). Just like you, I use my Genius level discount on booking.com for accomodation, but flights have also become so expensive! It's gotten to the point where I sometimes choose my travel dates based on the cheapest flight options (especially for short trips within Europe).
  3. My goodness - "why keep it simple if "complicated" is also possible?" (a saying here in Germany: "Warum einfach, wenn´s auch kompliziert geht?")
  4. From today's perspective, it is of course very "odd" to see how Jesus and his apostles were portrayed back then, that a cross is actually shown instead of a stake, etc. but the photodrama of creation was simply REVOLUTIONARY in its time and I have often wondered what it must have been like to watch it. Thank you for giving me this opportunity over 100 years later. P.S. Is this really a woman playing the role of the angel in the Garden of Gethsemane?
  5. Thank you, JR, I will definitely look into it PLUS I really love the idea of your website! Today I will be busy with all kinds of preparation for the memorial, but tomorrow or the next day I will have a very much more detailled look at your website. I´ve always admired people who have the beautiful talent of writing songs because I LOVE music. Many songs have such an incredible impact on me and my emotions, that I always think whoever wrote them accomplished a miracle So, I´m looking very forward to exploring your website during the next few days. Thank you.
  6. I need your expert advice on the following matter: I have been using a private website for about 10 years now where I upload my vacation photos (if you don't know it yet and would like to take a look: www.chrissy-on-tour.de 🙂). However, the provider I used to create the site and buy the domain from is meanwhile quite expensive (120 euros a year, that's about 138 dollars). I would like to switch to a cheaper - or even a free - version. However, I'm overwhelmed by all the offers on the web, and after doing a bit of research, I'm no wiser than I was before. So I'll pass the question on to anyone who has experience with this: Which provider can you recommend to me? The requirements for me personally would be The simplest possible operating system (drag-and-drop or something similar would be ideal) without the need for special technical knowledge a fair price in the case of a free provider: As much storage space as possible, as I upload more pictures after every vacation of course Thank you! 💕
  7. Must love Jehovah more than anyone else, including me Qualities like humility, honesty, loyalty... Well, actually if #1 is there, #2 is likely also to be expected. An involuntary single (not searching for the time being)
  8. Beautiful! Love the original version but also "creative" and touching interpretations like this one.
  9. I did a Japan tour last year and I fell in love with that country and its people (and food) I liked ALL 10-12 places I visited, but my favorites were Kyoto, Hakone and Yokohama. If she wants to, your daughter can check out some of the places I visited here to get some impressions: https://www.chrissy-on-tour.de/japan.html
  10. Actually, if drinking coffee was a sport, I would be a champion
  11. I love sports! Unfortunately, I'm not very sporty myself, I like to call myself a "passive sportsman" because 99% of the time I watch sporting events and only 1% of the time I do sport myself. That's why I don't have a real "story" to tell about myself, except that my PE teacher in middle school advised my parents to sign me up for a soccer team, so that my ( at that time) "talent would be promoted". My parents weren't baptized at the time, but they were already so firm in the truth that they thought this was a bad idea and therefore I wasn't allowed to play in the team. Even though I only work out a little myself, I love watching others play sports, so I follow all kinds of sports (even on a sports streaming service): Soccer, basketball, American football, tennis, volleyball, track and field, etc. ⚽🏀🏈🥎🏐 Since soccer is the "number 1 sport" in Europe and I am very enthusiastic about it, I can also be found regularly at the stadium for live matches of my favorite team.
  12. Thanks everyone, this was helpful. Most of the YouTube videos I saw also recommend Airalo, I guess that's what I'll install for my vacation in fall.

How I Found the Truth

  • How I found the Truth
    The witnesses used to find my family everywhere - no matter how often we moved :-) In addition, some relatives were witnesses, and they often told my parents about the trouth. My stepfather was interested from the beginning, but my mother was completly against the truth. She had heard many prejudices from our greek orthodox surrounding (yes, we are Greeks :-)). She even threw away the literature that had been given to my stepfather. But then he decided that the whole family should visit a meeting. Then we visited a second one - and after a short time every meeting, although we had to drive about half an hour to get there. My mother could now see, that all that she had been told was not true, and she soon agreed that this was the truth. So we started a bible study with a brother as a family (I was about 8-9 years old). Later I got my own study with a nice sister. My parents got baptized in 1995, and one year later it was my turn. My brother, who is 10 years younger than me, grew up in the truth.

My Hobbies & Interests

  • My Interests
    I simply love music (I listen to it, I sing - not very well, but loud -, I´m learning to play guitar...).
    I also love soccer. In this case I rather watch it than playing myself. But I used to play very well as a kid, my teacher always wanted to have me in a team... Meanwhile I enjoy watching matches on TV or live in the stadium of my favourite club FC Barcelona :o) - where you can find me at least twice a year :-)
    I also like reading, travelling around the world (--> see website www.chrissy-on-tour.de), and I enjoy playing with my cat since I love all kind of animals, but ESPECIALLY cats.
