My wish list...

(1) Fnd another job outside HK and Taiwan, I still feel I wanna bump around... (2) Receive a reply from Kumiko, and visit her in Sep (3) Visit Egypt and Germany in Dec and become a frequent flyer (4) Reduce 10 pounds (5) Meet some interesting people in Taipei, and visit Hualien and Alishan together (6) Lose my German slower, and be able to write letters in very formal German to the German government for getting back my pension, as well as the over-charged tax. (7) Becoming a real computer geek, without being a freak. (8) Understand Japanese and buy a Japanese-German electronic dictionary, with functions comparable to an encyclopedia. There are many more...

The Japanese-German ones are real magic. My classmate could enter the name of a war, and get the year and a short-description of it. It was installed the best "dictionary" in Japan.

For the German part, the machine lists out the case, the preposition, and gives example sentances. It seems no currently available English-German dictionary is functionally comparable. The Chinese-German ones produced in China/Taiwan provide pretty detailed grammar stuff, but they are sometimes buggy.
