Yes,I did some research on LLM in Germany,but the options are so limited,besieds,I can not speak German,though I'm trying to learn;)anyway,I'll be there,maybe for studying,maybe for traveling,who knows?

It's nice to know you speak some french as I do,Star.Actually my searching range on LLM is quite wide,I prefer to study in the Netherlands,Germany or France,but language seems to be a big problem:(I guess that's why so many Chinese students choose to study in UK,US or Canada.So Star,have you applied for some schools now?Or do you have some offers from them?

Hey, where did everybody go? Are you still there?

hi Julius,
hmmmm.....everyone is watching the election in Iraq, I guess;)
What kept you busy these days? You have disappeared for some time

we surely got so many posts here, it really took some time to get to the last one

Hi Star, yes it isgetting a bit of a hassle to scroll down every time.. I had a lot of things going on the last days so havent been able to post that much. How are your apllications going? and what about Vietnam, did you already go?
Julius

Hi Star, you surely compete with the "Where are you from?" thread which is still a bit longer ;-)

Hey Star, Nice to see your still around! Well, not so much from my side, spending my days in the library and trying to memorize those millions of Chinese characters now and then. My mandarin class starts on Thursday so we can soon switch to Mandarin .... not ;-)

By the way, I just dropped by the "Where are you from" board, its fun you should do it too...

zi cheng hen ke ai de Julius,
You sure you want to shift to Mandarin? Pinyin or Chinese characters? If pinyin, it would be like code breaking. Very challenging, but I love it!!!! hahaha

Another challenging thing I am doing now is learning about cooking. My father was a chef, but I know nothing about cooking. But I am enjoying doing it now, just think I can cook on my own when I am in the Netherlands..wonderful,

Hi Star! Sounds good, the supermarkets in NL are quite good you will find most things you need. I am not sure you will find the right ingredients for Chinese food, however, but they do have quite a few Chinese supermarkets as well. My Mandarin class was pretty hard, I think we will have to postpone the Chinese message posting ;-)
I amlloking forward to the Chinese new year by the way, the have a big parade and everything here in NY. When is it exactly, next weekend right?
Julius

I forgot: I downloaded this software so lets see if it works: 我现在能书写中文！not bad right?

很不错哦！很高兴看到你能写中文。中国的春节是在2月9日。祝你玩的愉快！！！So bad that you can't join us in china

Hallow everyone

I'm Joseph from Indonesia. I also want to pursue my LLM in the Netherlands. Previously I almost sure that I would like to enrol for LLM specializing in International Business Law at Leiden but last week there was Netherland Educational Fair and many netherland universities offer LLM program. Surprisingly, info from that fair, for this year Leiden merge that program into European law so I have to reconsider my option to go to Leiden. Does anyone know about this?

From that fair also I noticed that groningen is the cheapest and they said at the moment they are the no 1 law univ in the netherlands (as you can see in their website) and they have international business law and economic. what do you think about groningen?

thx

PS: this site is so useful. Aside from obtaining lots info you can also meet new friends from all over the world who have the same interest. Nice

Hi Star, Hi Joseph,
Joseph: Nice you joined in! I am afraid I cannot tell you much about Groningen though, no. 1 university in NL, I dont know, it always depends who sais that, I havent seen a ranking for the NL so far. But I am sure Star can tell you more about it as she will probably go to Leiden..

Star: At first I thought that you meant my Chinese character writing was "so bad that I cannot join you in China" ;-) but after I deciphered the characters (still takes me quite some time...) I got the real meaning, yes I would love to celebrate it in China! I hope I can go back before the end of the year. But NY is supposed to have the biggest Chinese community outside China so it should be quite authentic (I live right next to Chinatown)..

Yes, I can imagine, sounds like social stress.. I have seen alot of 饺子 here in Chinatown and eaten pretty good ones but you are right, most people here are Cantonese (how did you know?). Anyway, I will join the parade and everything for sure, but first I have to do my homework for the CHinese class, o god. Oh by the way, I saw there is a new master program in Beijing at 北京大学 listed on LLM GUIDE now, have you heard about that one?
