Got my invite, but there are no portals in a 100km range

I live in Austria, the heart of europe. I quite like it here, it´s warm in the summer (a lot of lakes for swimming), there is enough snow for winter activities (~30 min to the next ski resort) and if I wanted to I could be on holiday in Italy, Germany, Hungary... in about 3 hours (perfect for a long weekend).

Terry Pratchetts Discworld does it for me. The only series I buy every book of as soon as possible.

At the moment I speak: -German (I´m Austrian, so that can be debatable) -Italian (learned in school, but still good enough for a job interview ) -English (obviously) I am currently learning: -Russian (Just enough to survive) -Arabic (A colleague of mine described it best with "I want to know how to say "Don´t shoot";"Water";"Help, I´m being kidnapped"") I want to learn: -Spanish -Japanese or Chinese I also learned some Latin in school, but I don´t remember anything about it...

Badly. Just came back from Iceland where we spent 3 to 4 hours a day hiking around and had far too little sleep... Totally worth it however

Nice. Planning on a trip to Prague myself, but finances are sadly lacking...

Thank you. I hope I will Where in GER did you go?

No particular program at the moment. I´ll start the 100pu program on monday (again) since it gave me good progress the last time. Hopefully I can power through my vacation...

The assassin made his way through the bar and to the front with the silence of an avalanche and the grace of a drunken elephant. He left the building into the night with a last manic laughter and a twirl of his mustache for a group of ladies in the corner. barely out of the door his demeanor changed. Gone was the boisterous drunk and his movements turned fluid and silent. It was always such a hassle to have to meet the runners in person, but the masters would not send him carrier-pigeons any more. You eat one of them and have to listen to them whine for the rest of your life... He would have to step up his training if he was to fulfill his contracts while traveling as a escort for three scholars... Translation: I train silent moving every day after waking up (preparing breakfast without waking anyone in the dorm) and have gotten pretty good at it. I´ll try to include a sprinting workout sometime in the next few days but my current focus is on finding a short travel workout I can do in about 1/2 hour for my vacation to Iceland.

Alright, how am I doing so far? I ran the quarter marathon I was preparing for the last 6 months in 57 minutes, so that´s a new personal best. I intensified my push-up workouts to sets of 20 and plan to add 5 every week. No progress on chemistry notes... On a positive side note: After the race on friday one of my friends told me: "You´re a ridoculously handsome guy."

Let´s give this another try. My goals for this challenge: Fitness: Double my maximal reps for Push-ups (currently 20). (STR 1 STA 1) Continue running at least 2 times a week. (CON 1 STA 1) Continue working out while traveling to Iceland for a week and a half. (CON 2) Life-Goal: Finally manage to compile my Chemistry notes into a single folder. (WIS 2)

So far the ref seems biased for spain

Indeed Although it doesn´t help with small errors (like flooding the fortress by accident...)

The old saying is coming true: In the end Germany always wins

... you think "Exam on metallurgy and geology is done, time to go play Dwarf fortress!".
