How many do you have? 1

Where do they live? Sydney, Australia

How did you meet them? She's my sister ;-)

When was the last time you saw them? She came home for Christmas

Any plans to see them in the future? I hope so, but it won't be any time soon. It's so expensive for her to fly here and I just can't imagine bringing Ryan on a 24 hour flight to go that direction.

How often do you keep in contact? couple times/week.

How do you keep in contact? Phone, Facebook, Email, etc...? Email, IM and Skype. She keeps trying to get me to do FB, but I just haven't given in to that yet. ;-)

----------------------------------------------

I used to keep in touch with more that I had when I did my term abroad in Germany in college (from Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, and Indonesia), but over time, unfortunately, we have lot touch. :-(

How many do you have? Oh man, a ton. But I'm closest with 7.

Where do they live? 2 in Netherlands, 2 in Germany, 2 in France, and one expat in Dublin.

How did you meet them? semester abroad in Ireland

When was the last time you saw them? Except for Nynke, I haven't seen any of them since May of 2008 I saw Nyn this past summer when she did a big tour of America.

Any plans to see them in the future? Hopefully, they all have plans to come to the states in the next year or two, and our futon is always open to them!

How often do you keep in contact? We all (except the expat) have a Facebook message we've kept going since I got home from Ireland 5/23/08. We all respond to that every week or so. Gaby and I keep up on facebook occasionally and email.

How do you keep in contact? Phone, Facebook, Email, etc...? see above

booo all this foreign talk is making me miss them, they are the best friends I've ever had.
