I lived in Hamburg Germany for a year when I was 17...Dutch used to make me nuts because it sounded similar enough to German that my brain felt like it *should* be able to understand

Well your English is very good. Were you brought up with English?
Also I love the name of your bird (Fëanor)!

Yes, in my first month of learning German, I could understand lots of words, but some were very new. For example numbers and animal names were very easy for me because I learnt them in Dutch when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I love the sound of Dutch and German when well spoken though, don't you?

Did you like living in Hamburg?

I adored it there...it is a beautiful, graceful place. Laid out more like spokes on a wheel than a grid, and not a lot of very tall buildings obscuring views and making one feel closed in. I lived in a 19th century building on a cobblestone street that was a short walk from the Alster (lake that is basically the center of the wheel, part of the public transportation system was a network of ferry boats that crisscrosses the lake). Amazing food, museums, picturesque cafes hidden under bridges, streets that were limited to foot traffic several days a week and open air markets selling everything (meats in one, incredible fragrant fruits in another, gorgeous flowers sooo inexpensive, the list goes on!) from carts that were like A-frame houses.
If you get the chance, GO!

After Africa, Amsterdam and Europe is TOP priority for travels over the next few years. I would love to go with my dad so he can show me where he used to live. Also, we have lots of relatives there and also some in Germany and the UK. So I definitely want to tour there!
I love all of your plans! If you go to Amsterdam or Rotterdam you Will be able to see wild parrots! There are feral populaties of alexandrines in Amsterdam and ringnecks in both cities!

I have not seen those in Amsterdam, but I was in Rotterdam today and I heard them and I was like Omg please this way the parrots are here:D there are hundreds of birds in Total I think, in Amsterdam They are even considered a pest I believe. The flock I saw was about 20 birds, they are not very hard to miss, their voices Carry far as you well know!
