Here’s how our precise, efficient, logical German friends *allegedly* came up with their names for various animals. I’m a bit upset that their word for chipmunk (“backenhoernchen”, which literally means “baking croissant”) isn’t on there. Now I just need a Dutch version!

 

 

It’s here, properly… The Tostimonster’s Blog!

So after months of being busy with with other things, I finally have my blog site properly up and running. Those who know me well would say that I either have plenty of wisdom to share, or perhaps that I just like the sound of my own voice, but in any case it’s about time I used a proper website instead of posting very long statuses on Facebook.

I’d added some of the more blogworthy facebook posts on here, alongside the stuff I posted during the World Cup.

Various people are to blame for inspiring me to do this, most of them either dedicated travel bloggers or those that travel a lot for their work. As for my thoughts on travel, I’ll be starting up a whole section for that soon.

I’ll share some of the posts on Facebook, and the whole lot on Twitter (@thetostimonster).

Happy reading! Here’s the main page.
