Five Days Left

Hello, Hello,

As stated above, there are only five days left before i fly away to the east coast and then to the Motherland, Germany.

While in Washington D.C., i will be meeting the other CBYX scholarship winners and touring our nation's capital. It should be interesting. I only hope i get to room with someone mildly interesting, attractive, good at conversation, and resilient. In short: someone like myself.

So, i've got all my clothes in order and all my technology goods in line too. As for now, i am only reconsidering using my suitcase. 
There are two really awesome suitcases i will be examining later tonight. 

1. Tumi T Tech Polycarbonate 22''

2. Samsonite Black Label X-Lite Hardside Upright 22''

The Samsonite costs  A LOT!! more than the Tumi, but it has definite bling factor with it's pressed fiber shell construction, leather piping, and aluminum reinforcement.

The Tumi is just as good and even a bit larger. It tops out at the max. linear inches(the sum of length, width, and height) for most domestic airlines, 45. Southwest allows 50 linear inches, and most international flights allow slightly larger suitcases.

Bis spaeter, Until later,

Paris Hilton or Eva Gabor?

Hallo Leser,

Well,  "Green Acres We Are There!!!!"

It appears Joe the Cat will find himself on a farm in Southern Germany during his year away. I'm very excited to be far away from a big city, although i know that this life will be quite different from the one i have known for so long. In my free time, i expect to be shoveling manure and speaking Swabian Dialect to cows. Cows have lovely brown eyes. Have you ever gazed deeply into a cow's glassy brown eyes? If you haven't, you should sometime.

That's really all for now. I should be going to a school nearby my future home. I'm quite anxious to go, a little unsure, naturally nervous, but definitely ready. 

Next time i write, i should have equipped myself with a few good pieces of winter clothing.

Best Meows,

Joe the Cat
