Not yet - The little one is about the size of a grape. Crazy that they can already detect heart beats and tell me the beats per minute. Still in shock and fear over it all really. Egypt should be great.

Well, more big news on the horizon. Got to hear the heart beat yesterday of my wife's and I's first kid. Then found out that I'll be heading to Egypt for about a month or so for some work...

I'm going to heading over to Egypt for a month, and was hoping be able to use their main teams sweet logo. Al Ahly

Good - Keep him out of the MLS.

I always remember something he said after a fellow American made the mistake of saying, 'We (US) won the war'. The man sat up straight, and very sternly said, 'Son, it's not wise to assume you won the war, when it wasn't even fought in your country.' Really opened my mind about the American way of thinking, and how we glorify our efforts on WWII, which were great, but we don't spend enough time on Russia's efforts, or the other countries that fought alongside Hitler and Mussolini (i.e. Hungary).

Our (US) version of history is way out of order. I realized this mostly in Russia when I was speaking to a WWII Russian vet who taught me the real ways in which Russia won the war, not the U.S. Very eye opening experience.

Yeah - I looked him up and got it. Didn't remember the group Khmer Rouge though. Pol Pot isn't really covered much in our history courses.

Nope. EDIT: Pol Pot. Got it. Never heard of the Khmer Rouge, but I know about Pol Po and a little of that era.

I have never heard of it, but it makes sense since Cambodia isn't really a country that I know anything about.

My next language will either be - Hungarian, Danish, Dutch, or Arabic. Only one of those is somewhat useful, but whatever.

Atta Boy. My German studies are stagnant as hell at the moment. Vocabulary for German just seems like a joke at times with how difficult/long the words are.

I have never been to Finland, but most of the remaining major Euro countries I have spent time in. @Tsubasa - Outside of the obvious German and English, do you speak any other languages?

Probably my favorite outside of Russia. The language tripped me up big time and I was never able to grasp it (probably didn't stay long enough).

Warssaw (Poland), Moscow & Yaroslav (Russia), and Budapest

Man - I was like that once, living in Eastern Europe, but for some reason I was in a rush to get back home, and there are definitely days that I wish I could go back.

Any idea where you may end up, or if you just plan to stay in Thailand for as long as possible!?

Sorry to hear that. You have plans to ever go back long-term?

Damn - Get a Green Card and go to Milwaukee? I think I'd take 98% of the world over Milwaukee. Are things not great in LIthuania? I'm always curious why people seem to chose to come here. I enjoy it, but I'd love to live in Europe.

He kind of was. When we were playing, he was on his phone typing. Think at one point he took a selfie.

Alright- I only have met one in person (last night), and that's because he was wearing some kind of Lietuva Track Suit with a Man U hat.

Haha - probably. I thought they were closer together but now that you say that, it makes more sense. Looking back, he probably thought I was just full of b.s. about knowing a girl from Lithuania.

I just wanted to have something in common with the guy - and it turns out I ruined his dream. Inga, how similar is Lithuanian to Russian? He was speaking on the phone and I thought I could understand parts of it, but I wasn't able to listen too closely.

Haha - no. She didn't come so he wouldn't know her. I'm assuming there is some good looking blonde Lithuanian running around Atlanta.

Well - I lost in tennis tonight...to a Lithuanian. I told him I had a female friend from there named Inga and he got all excited and asked if she was the one with blonde hair that lives in Atlanta. Sadly I had to ruin his day by saying no, I think she lives in Thailand at the moment. He didn't really speak to me much afterwards. @nudge
