Hi Gabi:

I am a first generation Canadian of German heritage. Have spent two years in Trudering, outside Munchen. This is the FIRST time in my life (I am in my mid forties) that I have seen someone who spells their name the same way as I do! Might be a small thing for the rest of you, but I have had to spell both the full version (Gabriele) . my nickname (Gabi), and my last name (since it has three vowels in a row, not very common in english) every time, otherwise my name is totally mis-spelled. It is nice to know that my parents obviously took the german spellings of my first name, and were not just being creative!

I am from the US originally, but now live in Germany in NRW with my German husband. He teaches me how to make German foods and I teach him how to make the various things I have learnt over the years to make, mainly Chinese, Japanese and Italian food.
