A blog for my time in Germany

This blog will serve as a place to collect and share my thoughts and experiences in Germany this summer. While I've occasionally considered starting some sort of blog type thing before, I've always been dissuaded by a combination of laziness and an unwillingness to subject anyone more than necessary to my writing. However, since the occasion of traveling to another country should provide with some worthwhile subject matter and honesty prevents me from promising to write diligently to all my friends, this seemed like a good time to start. (Besides this is a more socially acceptable way of talking to my computer when I'm lonely.) As to the title of the blog, the pun is intentional, I make no promises as to whether my posts will be more "honed" than "spat". ;)

If you want to try to have actual correspondence, I'll post my contact information in Germany as soon as I know it. I'm much better at responding to letters than I am about sending them in the first place, I promise.

I'm bringing my camera and I fully intend to take pictures, but experience suggests that you'll have to bug me often if you want me to remember them. :)

That's all I can thing of for now. I may post once or twice more before I leave to get the hang of this and once I leave I suppose I'll try a least once a week.

Edit:
I now know my postal address:
Matthew Jeffryes
Alfred-Messel-Weg 10 A-25
64287 Darmstadt, Germany
