Hi everyone,
well, I'm not that good at introducing myself. Maybe that's what took me so long until I finally registered. I finished my studies in physics last year in Germany and moved to Melbourne to do my PhD here last July.
I started to juggle and twirl in Germany (actually it took me a little while to notice any difference between these two after coming to Australia), and when I came here I was happy to find people doing the same stuff overe here quite quickly. But they kept telling me about how good this Homepage was so finally I had to register and now here I am.
So, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

What is psychology?- Looking for a black cat in a dark room. What is psychoanalysis? Psychoanalysis is looking for a black cat in a dark room -- in which there is no cat -- but finding one anyway.

So, thank you everyone for this welcome!
Now a few answers:
myco: I really like Melbourne! I found quite a lot of new friends and I'm feeling home already after only half a year of living here!
vanize (asking about when I'm going back): well, I'll try making a trip to Germany about once a year, but my PhD will continue for another 2 1/2 years so I'm going to stay a little longer.
All the things she Fred: Now that is a strange question. Let's put it that way: your dragon looks cute

Hallihallo Holger,
welcome to HoP and welcome as a fellow German in this wide country of Oz. I've been here for three years now but still can't understand some of the ossie-slang.
Enjoy the learning curve.

I learned that one quickly. Swearing? No worries.
But did you know that 'vixen' is a German swear word (not gonna tell you what it is though
)?

Hi,
well, I did learn a few swear words too. And so far noone has called me a tosser, at least not while I was there. But thanks for the warning anyway.
Skulduggery: Why don't you just try and ask them, then I can decide whether to answer you. Don't be too shy.
Well, maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning and aren't tired anymore
