<HTML>Hi MPC and Ying,
Man, I wish I was there for those meetings. It looks like I may be in Berlin around May or June of this year. I\'m polishing up my German with a couple of CDROMs and some books I recently bought. When I\'m in Germany I will definitely come visit England and have a pint or two with you, MPC. Ying, Shanghai is still on my list of places to see :-)
By the way, what do you guys think about those stories of u-boat men coming to Ireland for supplies and actually meeting with civilians. I didn\'t know Ireland was that anti-English at the time as to collaborate with the Germans. I\'m not too familiar with the whole feeling of the Irish vs. the British in the WWII years. I assume it\'s similar now too. I know the current situation and the feeling will remain for a long time. Almost like a Bosnia/Serbia type issue without the mass murder. Although the IRA has fought some bloody fights.
That was just on my mind this morning, I\'m kind of dazed from a night of shore leave :-) I will never drink a Red Bull and Vodka ever again!! I\'m sticking to my rum :-)
Best wishes!
Fin
P.S. MPC, did you get my last e-mail?
