Great Photo-TR, Reed. It looks like you both had a good time. Too sad we never made it there.

^ Same here. That sounds awesome, can´t wait to sign up.

The 3D addition for the AMC theater is really good news. I hope it will be installed until the summer.

Adding Europa Park to the list really made my day.

Yes, Hansa Park. That makes me really really happy. I hope Heide Park will show up, too.

^ Good idea, I will remember it.

^ I am sure you are having some airlines in the US, too! Other than that it is more important to speak english, since all safety instructions are in english. You will not get a job at a German airline, if you are not speaking english. --Soren

It was good chating with you. I didn´t know it is that much of a time differnce between us.

I saw it and did it. I am curious how many Ryan will get?

Wow, Universal Studios Hollywood. It is getting better and better...

^ Same here, Chrissie. I have enough of the cold weather.

Photo-TR: Soren, The World Traveler. Update 02.24. – Next Stop: Phuket, Thailand Finally a new update. This time I want to take you guys to Phuket. It is a nice place over in Thailand. I only had a couple nights to spend there, but it was great. Very good weather, awesome food and 2 new beer sorts. My suite was located on the other side of the lake, which means only a short boat ride to the beach on the other side. Onto the pictures: --Soren World Traveler Map: Phuket Welcome to Phuket. It is just a short bus ride from the airport to the hotel. There we are. The resort map, just to give you an idea how huge the whole area is. My suite for the next few days. My bedroom... ... and the kitchen beside the entrance. After the shower I went right down to the bar, for the first beer of the evening. Some colleagues are already waiting. Lets take the boat over to the beach. The boats are operating nearly 24 hours. Yes, finally dinner time. What could be better than a cold beer... ... and awesome thai food. All that makes me really happy, cause it is one of the best ways to finish a long day. Next morning I took the boat over to the beach, again. Just a short walk... ... and there we are. Isn´t it a beautiful place! I am not much of a sunbathing person, but this beach is way to beautiful to stay away from. Another good point, there are not many tourists hanging around here. So, let me finish this P-TR with another good beer. Thanks again for reading. Another update is coming, soon.

Thanks for the awesome update, Erik. I really miss that place and can´t wait to finally be back later in the year. I hope you are going to reserve a table at Mythos, again. --Soren

Nice idea, Robb. I hope you keep adding more parks. I am really curious.

^^ You are right, the suggested speed limit is 130 km/h (appr. 81 mph). But there are still enough highways without any speed limit. It is always advisable to take a careful look at the signs, cause on some highways are speed limits at certain times, like between 8am - 8pm a 120 km/h. However, in total the police is not as strict as in the USA, especially with foreigners. --Soren

In 4 years I would like to see the ladies going down the halfpipe like this:

^ Same here, but still some areas covered with snow. I can´t wait that the whole winter thing is over. It was way too long...

^ Just added Club TPR on facebook. The whole thing is really getting better and better. Can´t wait to see the whole benefits list. Do you have Heide Park as well as Europapark on your list?

^ Working on my Tax return, right now!

Gold for Germany (Maria Riesch) in the Ladies' Super Combined. Its really sad that Lindsey Vonn couldn´t finish the last race. On the other hand I am happy for Anja Paerson, winning the bronze medal, after the fell down so badly, yesterday.

Great news. I really like the design of the new member card and the benefits are already awesome. Can´t wait to sign up and see the whole benefits list, especially for parks in Europe.

It looks like the fire really did a lot of damage to the building. I hope they will rebuild the clubhouse, soon. I can´t imagine what could happen if the women wouldn´t have knocked on the gym room glass. Is there a seperate entrance/exit to the gym or do you had to leave through the front doors? I mean it looks like 10 minutes later and your way out could have been blocked, right? --Soren

Uhh, I remember that place and the awesome partys. But that is really scary. I am glad you are okay, Robb.
