      COUNTRY: Germany
         TOWN: Berlin
         NAME: Martin Schmachtel
               (schmadde is my nickname, I include
               this because that's actually the name I hear most, I will
               probably identify myself as schmadde on the phone)
      ADDRESS: Sponholzstrasse 34, 12159 Berlin
        EMAIL: schmacht@inf.fu-berlin.de
        PHONE: From within Germany 030 8519568
               (note that 030 is the area-code of Berlin, you can
               leave it out when calling from within Berlin; when
               calling from outside Germany you may have to cut the
               leading zero so e.g. from the states dial:
               011 49 30 8519568
      SEX/AGE: male, 21 years (birthday 11.03.1973, in case someone
               drops by around that date ;-))
ACCOMMODATION: 1 Room (32 sqm) in a 3-Room-flat I share with 2 other
               students around my age, with kitchen and bathroom of
               course.
     LOCATION: Berlin-Schoeneberg (more precise:Friedenau)
               it's not right in the city-centre, but very close to it
               (with U-Train 10 min. to the zoo, ... let's say you can
               get anywhere from here without having to drive for a
               long time)
   MAX GUESTS: let's say 2, but maybe more, simply ask us (by the way,
               one of the other 2 students will yoin HOSPEX, too)
   MAX LENGTH: a few days, I think after that we would bore each
               other anyway, but this is not too strict, I suppose
               anyone who wants to come should talk with us about that
     EXPENSES: phone, food and what else, I don't know, this would be
               also a thing that would have to be discussed in detail
               in advance to your stay
 RESTRICTIONS: we are all non-militant non-smokers, so smoke as much
               as you want, but *not* in our flat (this should be a
               restriction you can live with). I would also throw
               You immediately out of the window (and we're living
               4th floor) if you start talking some Nazi-bullshit.
               But since obviously you're intelligent enough to use
               a computer, I think you are most probably no nazi.
               I will not allow you to use any hard drugs in our flat,
               but that should be quite clear.
               Now, since I hate restrictions, I don't want to go any
               further, most of the above shoukd be self-understanding
               anyway.
 EXPECTATIONS: what I magine my guests to be are 16-30 year old people
               It would be cool, if we could do some things together,
               e.g. I can show you the underground scene of berlin, but
               if I've got no time, I can't promise you.
               I strongly recommend, that you call me as long before
               your desired stay as possible, because from time to time
               I visit old friend and my parents in Ulm (southern
               germany, thats where I lived before October last year)
               and therefore am not in Berlin. But that should also
               be quite logical, since I'm not the only person in the
               world that doesn't stay at home all 365 1/4 days of the
               year!
    LANGUAGES: German (of course), Swabian (my native language, a so
               called 'Dialekt' of the german language(just kidding,
               this is not a real language)),
               English (when I was in the U.S., people seemed to under-
               stand what I was saying)
               French (but I don't speak it very well)
               Latin (no one speaks Latin today)
               C++ (now cut it off)
     THE HOST: Well, I've written so much now, you could be able
               to figure out, what I am like.
               Maybe I should present you a few 'technical dates'
               about me: I'm *not* born in Berlin (for good luck)
               moved from a swabian town in bavaria to B. in Oct. 93,
               I like to listen to good music (everyone does), that
               means I like hardcore, industrial, metal and stuff
               like that, it does not mean I'm not listening to music
               of a direction completely different from the above.
               militant non-alcoholics may have slight difficulties
               with me, because when I'm at home I sometimes drink
               a lot of beer (well, I lived in bavaria all my life, so
               this is self-understanding...), i usually don't drink
               very much, or nothing at all when I'm travelling (don't
               ask me why, in most cases, because I can not find good
               beers...).
               Oh, maybe I have to say what I'm doing- I'm studying
               physics at the Free University of Berlin (for Information
               about it, try www.inf.fu-berlin.de, this is the www-
               server of Computer-science of the FU, we don't have one)
               Now let's stick to my hobbies (if you want to know about
               them): I like playing basketball (oh, fu.., it is friday
               and right now I'm missing my lesson...), Pesaepallo (a
               finnish derivate of Baseball), riding my bike, going to
               concerts and in clubs, talking nonsense (you know about
               that already), I like computers (no, I don't like comps,
               but I like playing around with them very much), I like
               cats (though I don't have any, because I'm to seldom
               at home), I dislike our Bundeskanzler and our system-
               administrators.... Find out yourself, what I like and
               what not. Right now I want to exchange the sun I am
               sitting in front of with the real sun (the weather is
               much too good right now to waste your time hacking
               e-mail into a computer).
               If anyone has any questions now, phone-number,
               e-mail and snail-mail-adresses are listed above
               bye...
