I am horrified and concerned by the events in Japan and I feel so helpless and just wondered if others feel the same too. I found a way to donate money online to the Red Cross = the link is here if anyone else wants to use it http://www.drk.de/weltweit/asien-nahost/japan-hilfe-nach-erdbeben.html I just hope and pray that the situation in Japan doesn't get any worse and that my friend's cousin who has lived in Japan (married to a Japanese) is ok as she lives north of Tokyo and hasn't been heard from since the earthquake.

Is anyone else glued to BBC World watching these miners resurface after more than 2 months?? It's wonderful to see them in such good shape and reunited with their families at last. It's been quite an eventful year for Chile with the earthquake in February and now this amazing rescue. It's good to know there is a bit of German technology (the winch and cable) helping them!

To celebrate my 70th birthday next year I plan to walk from my home in the Aude to the house in Blackpool, Lancashire, where I was born. Taking 70 days for the walk and arriving at the house of my birth exactly 70 years after the event. I have a blog for interested parties at: http://vicsbigwalk.blogspot.com

Hi guys, my name is Patrice and I've been living in London for 2 months. I'm a student (originally from Germany) and taking an internship at the moment. Living in London is great but quite expensive as well. I have already visited many attractions, but they're all too expensive !! :-/ I have already searched for discounts at the internet and I found www.discountbritain.net. I think it's pretty cool, you can get a discount (20 %) of each attraction or restaurant. The only thing you need to do is to print out the voucher. And there are some attractions in Germany as well :-). For example Aqua Dom & Sea Life Berlin. So I hope some of you originally come from or lived in London and can give me more "insider-tipps", where it's cheap to go ?! (especially attractions) I'm looking forward to hear from you !! :-) Cheers! Patrice
