Ratmas Trail

I am a 27 year old German girl living in Manchester, England. As I would like my journal to be visited by friends and Family in both countries all my entries will be in both languages. On the 30/04/2004 my boyfriend Wilf and I are going to travel the world. We are hoping to visit South America, Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, India, Nepal, China, Mongolia and take the Transsiberian Railway back home. Ich bin eine 27 jaehrige Deutsche und lebe in Manchester in England. Da ich hoffe, dass dieses Tagebuch von Freunden und Familie in beiden Laendern verfolgt wird, werden alle Eintraege zweisprachig sein.(Obwohl ich natuerlich einsehe, dass mein Deutsch in den letzten 8 jahren doch sehr gelitten hat ;-) ) Am 30/04/2004 werden mein Freund Wilf und ich uns auf eine Weltreise begeben. Wir planen die folgende Route: Suedamerika, Australien, Neuseeland, Suedostasien, Indien, Nepal, China, Mongolei und die Transsibirische Eisenbahn.
