Wonder World: January 2006
http://wonderwurld.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Saturday, January 21, 2006. By request, here's a post about my life in Manhattan. Your welcome mom. The whole place is kind of a mess (Sorry mom). "A place for everything and everything in its place" really only works if everything has a place. The real highlight of the apartment is that it is so close to the law school. We can leave the apartment and make it to class in less than five minutes. That's about all it has going for i...Of co...

Wonder World: April 2006
http://wonderwurld.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Thursday, April 13, 2006. Well, it's a bit shameful. I haven't posted in over a month. Fun stuff is still happening, it's just such a daunting task to post about it all because I'm so behind. So, I'm going to catch you all up very quickly. We spent the next few days exploring Belgium. I took Sam to see the Begginhof in Leuven. Beggins were like nuns who didn't take a vow of celibacy. They lived in the Begginhof, which was supervi...Sam a...

Wonder World: February 2006

My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Tuesday, February 28, 2006. I got into Leuven at about 9 pm After checking my email, I went to bed and slept for a good 10 hours. Despite my lack of acquaintances in the city, I did have plans the following day. The exchange coordinator had planned a lunch for all the law exchange students who were already in town and just waiting for the semester to start. That night there was a big party at the international student cafe. There mus...

Wonder World: November 2006

My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Tuesday, November 07, 2006. Thoughts on Being Haggard. Last Sunday, Rev. Ted Haggard, the founder of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado which has over 14,000 members, admitted to being "guilty of sexual immorality". After a gay man claimed to have had "drug-fueled trysts with him". Haggard was a vocal opponent of same sex marriage and had preached that homosexual activity went against the teachings of the Bible. And here's...

Wonder World: December 2005

My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Saturday, December 31, 2005. Sam and I came to the Pacific Northwest for winter break. We were down in Salem for Christmas and my mom's birthday, but now we are in Seattle until the 6th of January. We're staying at Sam's grandma's house in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood. Here's a picture. Posted by Matt @ 4:51 PM. Friday, December 30, 2005. In Leuven, Belgium next semester. Leuven is about 20 km (12.5 miles) east of Brussel...My bo...

Wonder World: March 2006
http://wonderwurld.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Tuesday, March 07, 2006. On Sunday, February 12, I forced myself out of bed at 7 am The orientation program was smart to require that tickets be purchased in advance. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have made it out of bed. As it was, I almost decided to let the 20 EURO go to waste, but my "penny saved, penny earned" background got the best of me (thanks mom). The best part of the tour was the view from the roof of the castle. Thoug...

Wonder World: May 2006
http://wonderwurld.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Wednesday, May 24, 2006. A few weeks ago I went to Waterloo. 5 years later, the Dutch King William I ordered construction of a massive monument on the spot where it was believed his son was wounded. The monument, a giant hill topped by a statue of a lion resting his paw on a globe, pierces the old battlefield as though the Earth itself has risen up to bear witness to the blood spilled there. Posted by Matt @ 2:23 PM. Happy Birthday to Me!

My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Friday, December 08, 2006. Hey All, I know that, once again, it's been a while since I've posted. Finals are afoot, so my head has been in the books. I did get some exciting news today though that I thought worthy of breaking the silence. I've got a job! I got a call today from a firm in Seattle that I recently interviewed with. They've offered to hire me next fall as an entry-level associate. The new year is already looking happier!

Wonder World: August 2006
http://wonderwurld.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
My thoughts on my travels throughout the world and through my life. Monday, August 28, 2006. Summer - Part 2: NY. Besides my trip to London, I also had a lot of fun in the United States this summer. After stopping for a beer, we went down to Battery Park for some beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty. Then we headed back toward the village, stopping in Soho at my favorite Cuban place on the way. Sam got in kind of late, not a surprise since he took the Chinatown bus. Posted by Matt @ 6:43 PM. I spent ...
