**gvozd** , tell us a little more about yourself.

We know you are studying in Germany but you are not German, and you also write English reasonably well. Something you wrote (I forgot what) made me think you are Middle Eastern.

How do you feel about the “Arab Spring”? Are you happy to see these things happening for the last several years? Are you from one of these countries? Are you looking forward to what the future may bring there?
