Dear member friends,

My real name is Uwe Brunjes, though you might know me as Germex.

That stands for "German-Mexican", as I was born and raised in Germany, but now live in Mexico as a Mexican citizen. Some people know me as a "dog paw" - somebody who can't sit still in one place and has to roam the planet. And that's how I came to Mexico and international business.

So far my main activity is still being a purchasing agent for those customers who don't want to get involved with international business or don't know how to do that. And of course my experience with different languages and cultures helps me a lot here. By the way: some of these people are even afraid of foreigners or "aliens" (as if we were from outer space), but so far I find you to be a quite likable crowd. – Well, what could I say; now I'm part of this crowd!

My future plans (already quite advanced) are buying my own merchandise and selling it in Mexico, using the "direct marketing" approach. Do you know what will be my first line of products? It's… nah, too early to talk about!

In the past I have been a German sergeant (all sergeants are known for being mean!), a computer repair specialist, a trilingual language teacher and translator, a husband, father and grandfather… besides many other long or short-term activities.

My hobbies are mostly related to ecology (in the widest sense) and construction systems, and one day I want to carve the center of a huge coffee table out of a walnut tree stump. It will look like those capitals of Greek temples and be the center of my home. – Anybody crazier than me?

Though my most important "hobby" are grandkids, as you can guess from my avatar. You have no idea how they help me stay young. My oldest grandkid (now 10) even asked me to teach him how to safely(!) climb trees! How could I possibly get old this way?

The most surprising detail for me was how fast I made friends on this forum. Given all those different national, ethnical, cultural, religious and other backgrounds, one might think that this is a madhouse, but as we all know, it's quite the opposite. Congrats to those who created and preserved this environment!

Though I don't want to disregard the great service Alibaba is providing us when it comes to finding business contacts. In fact, not only was I amazed by the number of advertisers, but also by the number of products. The first time I came to Alibaba, I spent a whole day browsing through the listings, drooling because of what I saw. Now I have calmed down a lot, but still enjoy the abundance of business opportunities.

Thanks to Alibaba for giving us this great business tool and for providing us in addition this great forum! Here we are only "virtual people", but hopefully many of us will meet one day face to face. - Ok, that in fact I could imagine being a madhouse, with all those different languages... (Now, where is that darn icon for "laughter"?)

 Dear friends, due to the high number of attempted contacts through Alibaba messenger I can't answer directly anymore. So please forgive me if I deny your request for contact.

Replying to [germex]: Congratulations!! You become a moderator only18 days after joining the forum, the fastest speed. May I ask if your grandchildren chasing you too much so you want to hide here?

I have been enjoying communicating and moderating with you. We like your young heart and good sense of humor.

Hey, please email me an uncut, un-censored version.

Be careful when climbing trees and best witches,

Moolan

Replying to [germex]:
Hi gemex,
Yeah, something wrong indeed. They want to take the chance to promote themselves. But don't you think it's good?

Look your smiling face in the car, you must be the one knowing how to enjoy life. It'll help you stay young! Face life with a smile anytime.

sincerely,
brant

Replying to [Germex]:

Thanks to Alibaba for giving us this occasion to meet people like you , from your very kindly smile , I am sure you are a good-hearted man.
Hope to meet you face to face , and wish you achieve all your dreams.

Replying to [germex]: I saw your pictures. You looks a kind man. Who is the baby?? so lovely

Replying to [Admin]:Aha-that explains your knowledge of the autobahns in one of my postings!!
It also goes a long way to explain your humour (very droll) and spellings!!

Replying to [Englishman in Shenzhen]:

Thanks to everybody for the kind replies! You see, you really are a great bunch of friends! That's why I'm hiding out here, not to get away from my grandkids.

Anyway, Englishman said something that caught my attention. He mentioned my spelling. As now I'm one of the moderators of the English forum (together with "general" lady Moolan), of course I would like to know what he saw or what is wrong. It's kind of a "professional" interest.

Quoting from [Admin]:

Welcome dear Mr Uwe Brunjes., Germex is easy to pronounce and use: So ideal for all:

have a good journey: it is admins delay to post your spotlight.! anyhow we have seen you already: now more:

Glad to know more about you, Uwe. It would indeed be wonderful to get to meet some of our Alibaba online friends. This dog paw hasn't been to Mexico so I would love to come given the opportunity.

Looking forward to reading more of your humorous and interesting posts.

Replying to [Admin]: Dear Admin Sir/Madam, where is our Uwe's handsome picture?

We never have enough of him, please make his picture bigger and bigger, so we can tell how many days he didn't shave.

Moolan

Replying to [Admin]:

thanks for correcting the text! - But Moolan, I never shave! That goes against my principles!
