Im Zorogami, but in the real world people call me Alejandro or Ale. Im 21 years old and i go to university, where i study international business administration and economics. At the moment im living and studying in Spain, although I've been born in Germany. Thats actually pretty cool though, since im hald spanish/half italian. Ive been a member here for a little bit more than a year now, and a supporter since about 3 hours ago :D

Anyways, some of you might know me from the forums, most of you won't probably have ever heard of me. Buuut thats what im here for, to get to meet as many of you as possible, and hopefully forming some new friendships! Im a really open-minded and friendly person, and i love talking and spending time with friends. We can talk about anything, really, since im interested in all kinds of things.

In my free time, i like to read books, mostly suspensful thrillers or fantasy novels. Ive also recently started to read books by Stephen King, and i find them to be quite good! As for TV shows, i prefer comedy, like How i met your Mother, Friends, Big Bang Theory or Arrested Development, but i also love Sherlock, Criminal Minds, Castle, Supernatural, Prison Break, and the list goes on and on. I also love watching movies, almost anything but comedies, but comedy and action is what i enjoy the most. I also love movies that are so bad they become incredibly funny.

So, if you feel like, drop me a line or two, and i'll happily write you back!
Looking forward to getting to know all of you nice people

Sooooo, have you met Ted Zorogami yet?? :D

Looking at yourself, how would you describe the effect of each of your nationalities on your personality?

(Took me a while to find a way to phrase the question XD)

I have met Ted. And he is an awesome guy.

What made you take the major you took in uni? Was it a spontaneous decision or did it take you a while to decide what you'd pick?

Let's see…

-If you could live in the US, is there a state you would want to live in?

-On a scale of 1 to 10, how easily would you say you tend to cry?

-Pokémon Platinum or Black 2/White 2?

I would have to say i tend to be more spanish/italian, because im pretty passionate about stuff and listen more to feelings than reason. Also, i think to have inherited the hospitality that southern European countries are known for. On the other side, living in Germany has made me think in a responsible way, and i hate being late or when people are late so something xD In general though, i think having experienced so many different influences has made me an open-minded person.

When i was finished with school, there were 2 different things i was interested in majoring in: Law and Economics/Business. I decided to try out Law, and signed up at the University of Bonn. I really liked it and found it to be a very interesting major, BUT i couldnt picture myself as a lawyer for some reason. So, after 3 semesters, i dropped out and started studying Business. I can say im pretty happy with my choice, since i like it more than Law and i can see myself doing something in that field in the future.

1) Well ive been an exchange student for a year in the state of Oklahoma in 2008/09, so ive seen and experienced a bit of the US already. Although i enjoyed my time there, id rather live in either a state on the west-coast, for reasons like weather and hispanic influences, or in one of the "old" states, like New York or Virgina, since they seem like nice places to live in that could be considered pretty "european".

2) I'd say around a 6. I dont cry often, but i do tend to cry as soon as i see someone close to me crying or getting emotional. There is also a small amount of movies/songs that can bring me to tears. I think crying is actually a good thing, because it enables you to let go of a lot of emotions and i feel kinda "cleansed" afterwards.

3) Definitely Black2/White2. The 4th Gen is my least favorite tbh, not as it came out, but now for sure. I just feel like the game is lagging half of the time, and most of the introduced Pokemon did not stand out to me. B2/W2 on the other hand was a lot of fun from the get-go, i especially loved the large regional dex and how they put a LOT of old Pokemons in the game!

Nice to meet ya, mate! :]

What is your favorite movie of all time?

Any recommendations on where to visit in Spain? I've always wanted to visit there, as well as take a small trip to Italy :3

What was the transition like from Law to Business for you? Were your parents supportive of your decision?

What was the thing that most shocked you about America while you were here? More specifically, were any American stereotypes true/things that you never expected to learn about our culture?

First of all, nice to meet you as well man!! :)

Favorite Movie: Really hard to say, i love watching movies haha. Id have to split it up and say "Fired Up" for comedies and "Saw" for Horror. Fired Up is not only extremely funny, it also reminds me of my time in the States, where i watched it like 10 times with friends. Saw (the first one) is extremely well done imo, since it doesnt go for gore like its successors, but for thrill and a compelling plot with many twists. Aw, and favorite Disney Movie: Lion King, hands down :P

What places to visit in Spain: It kinda depends on what you want to see. Ill break it down in 3 types: The North is full of mountains, nice green landscapes and rather smaller towns with unique flair. Its the worst weather wise, but if you go in the summer its still going to be pretty warm. Top cities to see there: Santander and San Sebastian. Type 2, the big famous cities. Very huge cities, full of museums, parks and interesting things to see. Might not be the most "original" ones, but you definitely wont get bored. Best examples: Barcelona and Madrid. Type 3, the sunny and cheerful South. Extremely hot in the summer, full of very nice beaches and a very spanish culture. These are the places where Tapas and Flamenco were basically born. Most notable cities: Malaga, Sevilla and Valencia. Spain has a lot of unique holidays and festivities as well, where you'll see something pretty unique and have an awesome time!
As for italy, ive only been to Rome, which i really really liked, and Florence. Rome is basically what you expect it to be: loud, very italian and full of antique museums, buildings and monuments. Florence is what you know from the Assassins Creed games, but a lot more impressive.

Transition from Law to Business: At first very hard, because i spend almost a year doing nothing (productive), which was a pain. I wasnt immediately sure as what to do after law school, so i took some time to figure it out. My parents were supportive, but at the same time worried i would end up doing thing, understandable i guess. As for the classes themselves, extremely different: In law school i sat in a room with 150 people, now im in a class with other 9 students. law school was more everyone for themselves and you had to to a lot on your own, now since we are less people, class is a lot more interactive, which is an awesome thing.

The US: First of all, i had an amazing time in the states, really. Things that i thought were stereotypes and turned out to be true: You guys are really really crazy about football, and even high school games are impressive to watch. College games? they are even televised!! Another stereotype, and im saying this without being judgemental: Some Americans really have little to no clue about Europe...i was asked some pretty absurd questions, but oh well. Stereotypes that turned out to be wrong: Football Players and Cheerleaders rule the school. I didnt feel like this at all at any point during my stay. Also wrong: Oklahoma is not just farmland and rednecks. Things that shocked me the most:
1) The high amount of teenage pregnant girls and classes being held at school specifically to prepare them for their first child.
2) How serious people took church and how much time was spent there. Also, how serious people took the bible and that they had a very strict good kids/bad kids mentality
3) Police being always present at school, and people who started fights were actually arrested.

In case you have some follow-up questions, ask ahead :P
