What should I get for Christmas (between these 2 items)

What should I get for Christmas (between these 2 items)?
Well my dad is in the Army and in May our whole family is moving to Germany for 3 years. The thing is there is no school buses. And it's legal there (at 14) to drive a Moped. It's like a motorcycle/portable scooter in one. My other choice is a laptop, my old desktop is ANCIENT and my printer is practically dieing. So I can't decide between getting the Moped or Laptop. What one do you think is the best?

That is a really tough choice! But it's cheaper to buy a laptop than it is a moped so ask for that :P Especially if you already have a computer. Yes, it's slow but it's something!

Moped!! You can live with a old computer and printer,,as long as you have internet it's ok... You'll get a new one soon..
5 :
I know that most people are saying moped probably because its really cool and all and here in the U.S. 14 year old don't get to drive mopeds. You seem pretty annoyed with your computer too, though. If I were you, I'd get a moped because its awesome. Although you really need a laptop, you can probably save up for one. Plus, you want to make this a good three years in Germany so I would have fun and ride around on your moped. I hope this helps! P.S. How are you going to communicate with the people there

Have you ever been on a study abroad

Have you ever been on a study abroad?
Particularly in Germany, but anywhere will do. I'm going on a study abroad program to Cologne, Germany with my university in July. I will be spending a month there. Housing and the courses are paid for but I will need money for food and transportation. Is there anything that I should expect? How much money should I bring? What should I pack? Should I bring my laptop? Tell me about your experiences.

Take as little as possible in the way of luggage and possessions -- you'll want to buy clothes and things there! Make sure you take lots of pictures of home -- people will be curious! But you can easily do that on a CD, jump drive or your computer. Make sure you take a camera (and USE IT!). For lots more tips, check out http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/... Viel Gluck! PS Don't miss out on climbing the steeple!

Yes, bring your laptop. Yes, go! You will probably look back on it as either the greatest experience of your life (or one of the top few, anyway) or the doorway through which you began some of the greatest adventures of your life. Köln is beautiful! I only spent about half a day there, but it was pretty! Can't help you with how much money you'll want, but if it's possible, take a credit card (and be VERY careful not to lose it) because the exchange is so much easier that way (and a bit less expensive). If you have a choice, find one that only charges 1% transaction fee for the exchange. Pack: at least one sweater. Northern Europe was Really quite chilly when I was there, even in the summertime. I lived in Spain for a whole year, my junior year of University. I travelled on the trains with a backpack and slept in Youth Hostels, when I couldn't make it an overnight train trip, for a total of three and a half months during that year. I had some of the best adventures of my life that year, and will never forget it! I wouldn't trade the experiences I had for anything in the world. For so many people, University is the only time you can make to make such a trip, and the experiences will stay with you forever! Have a blast!

Yes. Madrid and it was the best experience of my life...thus far. Best advice: carry a COPY of your passport my sis had hers stolen! Also, do not set your purse down for a minute bc they have so many thiefs. My purse was stolen while there and big fiasco getting new credit cards shipped internationally.

Hey! I'm currently spending a year studying in Berlin and have visited Cologne. I know exactly what you're going through. You'll be surprised how many people speak English in Cologne, so don't worry about communication problems. In fact they'll probably be more than happy to practice their English! For the month, depending on your lifestyle, but if it's anything like a student you'll probably need around 500 euros, just to be on the safe side. Transport is really cheap in Germany and almost always on time. I'd definitely take your laptop as there are plenty of places you can use WiFi in Cologne. Plus it's always good to look online for things to do in the city instead of paying for magazines. I'd pack just the essentials-just in case you need to carry your luggage around. Aaaand all i can say is have a brilliant time-Cologne is an incredible city, so enjoy yourself

Installing a european socket to an electrical system

Installing a european socket to an electrical system.?
I am living in the US, but used to live in Germany. I have a bunch of stuff like phone chargers, laptop chargers, and a couple small appliance that I brought over with me and that I have been using with an adaptor. It might be easier if I just had one of two of the european format power outlets around the house. I was wondering if it would be possible to install one or two european format sockets and hook them up so that they will output the 240V? Thanks!

well you could do that but you would have to rewire the house and that could get expensive . us homes are only wire for 110V you would be better off buing new appliances
2 :
Any kitchen split receptacle could be adapted to supply 220V because the two sides of the receptacle are supplied from different legs of the AC supply. If you remove the cover and take out the receptacle, you should see one black, one red wire on one side of receptacle and a white wire (neutral) on the other side. Using the blk and red wires will supply 220V AC. The white wire (neutral) can be capped off. If the receptacle has only a black wire (no red), then it is not a split receptacle and will supply only 110V AC. Note: It may be a good idea to check with your local electrical inspector to see if this is legal in your area. (Please note that in Canada, ALL kitchen receptacles are required to be split receptacles.) A qualified electrician could probably mount the appropriate box right next to an existing split receptacle, thereby keeping the existing receptacle
