Thanks everyone! Despite all of my friends being exactly 7123 kilometres away I managed to have a nice birthday afterall Had lunch with my parents at the Indian restaurant (with so many Indian people in this city there must be some decent Indian food around, right?) and it was amazing. All you can eat from a very diverse buffet with all kinds of stuff incl. different desserts for only 17$, not that I would pay, but still. Another thing I love about restaurants in America are the refills. Damn, I had 5x 0.4L refills on my Coke today and it cost only 2$. In Germany you pay 2,50 Euro for a 0,3 glas of coke. Then another 2,50 if you want a refill. Most of the time I ended up leaving the place very thirsty I'm currently sitting in my new gameroom in the basement playing some Fast Striker... can't wait until my step-up converters arrive (for my European 220V RGB monitors) so I can finally play Mega Drive, Famicom, Saturn, GC and PS2 again after 8 weeks full of privation @Yakumo I sure will lol.
