1. How many stars can you see in the sky at night where you live? (Not looking for an exact number here, just a general description.)
There's a row of 3 stars that's pretty visible to me. There are a scattered few but those 3 are always in that distinct row so it's pretty recognizable. Macau is a rather bright city so light pollution makes it hard to check out the sky at night.

I remember that one time when I went to Austria with my friend and then we visited my Dad's hometown (I always say it's a village with NOTHING there) and after dinner with my Onkel then we walked back to the guesthouse IN THE DARK and wow the stars we saw then were amazing.

2. What is your favorite constellation?
Never really studied them enough to have a favorite.

3. Are you able to see and identify any planets in the sky? Which ones?
Absolutely not. I can identify the moon, but that's a satellite, not a planet, so still, no LOL. I can recognize most planets if you show me a photo though.

4. Have you ever seen a satellite orbiting above the earth?
I'm told that if and when you see a particularly bright star (in Macau), then it's not really a star but a satellite. So, I suppose?

5. Have you ever seen a rocket blasted off into space?
Does on TV count?

1. How did you spend the 21st night of September?
Wednesday night I went for my ceramics class and my friend came over and we went for dinner after that.

2. When did you last hear bells ringing (real bells, not something electronic)?
Every Sunday. Church bells. Around 11:30ish in the morning.

3. What have you done in recent months to chase the clouds away for someone else?
I don't think my friends had any major clouds around them for me to chase away, so no?

4. What are some good songs sung in falsetto?
Dunno. Some Opera or something.

5. Of earth, wind, and fire, which is likeliest to have a positive influence on your weekend?
hm.... maybe fire, we are going to a... either a korean BBQ or a japanese yakiniku place for lunch tomorrow. Hope it's good!

I didn't know your father was Austrian! Have you ever lived there yourself? Sorry if I am being too nosy -.-

Have a great weekend and a nice lunch tomorrow :)

Also, I think I am going to steal these questions and fill them out myself :)

Yes, my dad is Austrian, that’s part of the reason I’m always trying to learn German; sadly the Austrian blood in me isn’t giving me an upper hand in that LOL J/K

My dad is from a small village (village? town?) near the University city of Leoben, near Graz in Steiermark. That’s also why I’m somewhat obsessed with kürbiskernöl haha!

I’ve visited a couple times but have never lived there. The pleasure to living there for 7 years was given to my sister and I was never bestowed the chance though.

Well, German is always said to be a tough language to learn - I obviously cannot really judge if that's true, being a Native speaker. But if you ever need any help, just shoot me a message.
