I like this list so much, I just linked to it right here.
I especially agree with number "6. Blogging is not required."
Occasionally I'll mentioned to German friends that I maintain a blog, and they almost always respond with:
1. Indifference
2. Very, casual interest
3. An offer of cheap but exciting sex
For me, hitting other people's (Berlin-based) blogs continuously provides a wealth of both useful and enlightening information. So there.
Sometimes there's no better way to put your own measily life into perspective than to spend some time with the thoughts of young Americans struggling to come to terms with a climatologically-challenged foreign country and its citizens. Yes, this blog is actually titled "Germany Doesn't Suck . . . or does it?":
http://jbittner.com/germany/index.html
Or: http://homepage.mac.com/alison_petersen/iblog/
Which just goes to show you that there are those who blog, and those who blog.
Hi, thanks for the link.
'young Americans struggling to come to terms with a climatologically-challenged foreign country and its citizens'
That's not quite accurate, though.
