Awesome My Matto! Great photographic move from color to black and white. That change alone has enhanced your capturing one of humankind's worst sin. Your insight is a breathe of fresh air. Love ya! God bless. smr
Thanks, Matt... This all means a lot It IS just like a postcard everywhere you look. When I see you, I want your thoughts on the stability of the country. Luxembourg has so much strength in its buildings. Any downside or flaws to the way of life there?
What questions are you asked by the Luxembourgians about the U.S.?
Later, Nephew. Love, ME
Wow! Matt,
I've enjoyed reading your blog - I'm trying to live vicariously through all of your adventures. I am way jealous. You are one of those people that I am so proud to say that I know. This go around you are the teacher.
Peace, swansonahs
Great job! Matty,
After now reading your most recent three blogs I just want to tell you how proud I am of you. Not only have you been on amazing adventures and have great pictures but you are truly gifted with your words. You are a great writer! Even if I am your mom

Amazing Another great story with great pics. As always I am very proud (maybe even a bit jealous!) of you. But I always feel better once you are home. Love ya Mom
Great blog Just read through all of your blog entries and I thought it was great. I totally agree with your final "Travel Tip for the Complete Dumbass", the world is big and there are so many things out there for people to experience.
I've been planning on going to Japan to work for some time now and reading this blog has made me really consider applying to work for this summer day camp program next winter (I live in Australia :D). Corny as it may sound, but you've inspired me! -Jake
Oh, my gosh..... You had me rolling! Much to your brothers dismay, not all of us like to skip over the reading.....good thing I didn't it was great! Made me feel like I was right there trying to have a conversation with those freeky japenese hotties! Glad to hear all is well! Say hey to Emma and Jen! Safe travels home!
Life in general oh Matto, dont be offended i dont read these things. reading has just never been my thing. which reminds me, ive been looking into this "college" thing you do. from what i hear it begins immediately after my next year of school, and needless to say, im lost. im going to need a little guidence when you get home. well anyways, enjoy those last few days of japan. and bring us home two of those good looking rodeo clowns you found. were gunna need dates for that wedding reception. dibs on the one with the mohawk. i have those pants too!
you should be a writer HI MATT;
WE JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED YOUR

YOUR NEIGHBORS KATHY,DAVID AND HANNAH
First? Congratulations on making it up your first mountain. You need to stay in Colorado and start to climb the 50 - 14ers. Mountains over 14,000 feet. Sorry to hear you choice not to go to Mt. Fuji. Hopefully next time it'll be a yes instead. It looks beautiful--in fact I wish I was there instead of work!
Enjoyed the blog....Mountain climbing could come in handy when school begins eh??? Stairs everywhere at Drake....Also, those good-lookin' statues you see on your travels are a testament to the japenese peoples' admiration of short, heavyset, bald men....i.e. your Dad....Peace, We love you...Us
I'm just happy to see you showing off your sigep(shirt) pride in Japan. And if anyone says anything about your sweat, tell them all the cool kids in America sweat like that.
commentless title Hey Matt, I like what I see. Enjoying yourself out there but watch out for the 2 guys behind you in the picture with the girls... I think they are their husbands (:0)
Matt is a 20 year-old college student earning a double degree in Political Science and Journalism from Drake University. He is seeing Europe for the first time, traveling around Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, and The Netherlands. This is his second trip out of the country.... full info
