Home safe and sound from Germany! Unpacked (kind of) last night and doing laundry today and such. Getting ready to pack for leaving for Egypt for next week!

We are staying with Arjang and his two roommates, Tim and Stephen, in their apartment in Hamburg. It looks a lot like a typical college age guy apartment, except maybe a little better decorated, with lots of furniture from Ikea. Arjang is really in to film and graphic design. He even has his own T-shirt collection at revolushirt.net. Check it out! Tim is really into music and plays is guitar or bass a lot. He even wrote a song that is in the background of one of Arjang's short films. Stephen, well, I'm not really sure what Stephen is in to, but he ... read more
