My blog in different languages

Hi guys.
Thanks to all of you sending me birthday greetings and special thanks to those of you attending my little "party". Since I'm back in Germany over the Summer, friends and relatives were frequently asking or better complaining that I did not call often enough. Usually I would refer to my blog and say: look at my blog that's where I put all my updates - online and accessible for everybody. However, since most of them are not fluent in English nor native speakers they are usually complaining about the language issue. I don't really want to switch to German or some other language and rather prefer to continue writing my blog in plain English. Therefore I had to look for a possible workaround. And there is a solution: it's called "Google translator" and it does exactly this: when you click on "My blog in other languages" (right below the field about me) with the nice google-gadget and select the language you want to read my blog you will be redirected to a translated version. It works for most of the posts although the result is obviously different from a real "german-written" blog. I hope you still enjoy reading my blog and I'll try to update the 2nd America post ASAP.
Have fun.

Welcome to my very first blog...

... I'll send you a warm and nice hello and welcome to my very first blog. I want to invite you to explore "my world" while reading and / or posting. The title may not as clear to everybody as it should. This blog is about the time I'm going to spend in Sweden. I will be there from September this year up to June next year. And, in this blog I see a way to write down my experiences.

I will try to write only in english, allthough my mother tongue is german. But of course in Sweden I want to learn Swedish so, from time to time, I will post something in swedish too.

Please, let me know, how you like this blog and what are you interested in while reading.

So far...
