@Kalagie: 3,5inch hard drive is much cheaper than 2,5inch

Why don't you put the personal files on a different partition/harddrive? Makes reinstalling much easier.

Besides that: I also regret every day I let pass by befor switching to mac, but that's OT ;-)

6 Snowing Huangshan

Well on Sunday there was snow, but just in the air. Coming to ground it was just cold water...

In Germany last year (Hell, 2008.Time is running by) they had white christmas but not of snow but because of glazed frost. Well the outcome was similar ;-)

Cool, there you can tell more about the relations between some POIs and a station. But a english version would be very cool!

3 Seat-Belt? Oh. No. Thanks!

Diana Topic: When my driver (If I would have one of course) is flying through Paris with a couple of Paparazzi on our ass I would wear the seatbelt at any means! Can't understand that!

1 Seat-Belt? Oh. No. Thanks!

I feel very uncomfortable without using a seat belt. In Germany the fee is 850RMB and you get 2 points (There is a list which violation is worth how many points, at 18pts. you lose your licence and have to renew it with psychological and physological control. Speeding more than 20km/h in the city is 1pt, a tire without profile is 3pt and 800RMB (I know that for sure!!!) and so on)

In Italy the people feel the same. Since they are not on the motorway the don't use it. Kids are climbing around in the car and as soon as they leave the motorway they get rid of the belt.

If you go on 'walkspeed' you can already breake your arms if you come to a immidiate stop and try to avoid get hit your head against the front shield. If you're going 30km/h you can already be dealdy injured.

In Germany I even fasten my seatblet when driving the car 20m into my garage. I am just used to it! And I am glad about that habtit!

Best regards,

Christof!
