Viele Herzlichen Grüßen! Many Happy Greetings!

It less than 4 weeks, I will find out whether that phrase--and others I have added to my limited German vocabulary--will bring smiles of understanding, smirks of scorn, or apologetic bafflement from the people I meet.

This blog is for the purpose of providing a window into my experiences and adventures in the upcoming 6 months, as I travel to Germany to study abroad, and then from there to the UK for a two-week learning expedition about Muslims in London.

I will probably post a lot of random German words and phrases here and there, but for those of you who don't speak Deutsch, I'll try to remember to provide translation to things--that way you can learn along with me!

For starters, the title of this blog, "Reise nach Osten, Junger Mann!" means "Go east, young man!"

Bis bald!
till later!
