Distractions

So I have decided to find yet another way to distract myself from the hundreds of other things I really should be doing. I mainly thought it would be nice to have a place to document my upcoming trip to Bremen. As part of the intensive German course I am taking at the moment, I have to spend a couple of weeks in the 'Fatherland' in order to learn more German. I'm looking forward to it, mainly because I know so little about Germany and Germans. I have plenty of stereotypes floating around in my head, and I'm sure that some of them will be confirmed, but with any luck, I'll learn something new and really get a better understanding of German culture. Being able to make a comparison between Germany and Sweden will probably be the most important part for me. I'm sure my classmates are well and truely bored of me banging on about Sweden all the time, but I really do think that there are a masses of things that the two countries share. Anyway, we'll see! And this blog will be the perfect place for me to jot down all of my observations. If you are reading this, I hope you find it interesting. However, don't take anything I write too seriously, because I certainly won't.
