Expat blogs

I prefer to read a newspaper to discover some new private details of lives of strangers (mainly celebrities) to satisfy my curiosity. But blogging will do it also and the authors stories are probably more genuine anyway.

I will briefly present you the blogs- the people- I will follow:

Krystian Kozerawski is a polish emigrant who lives and works in Ireland. He is an all-around man having gained some experience as a foreign correspondent writing articles for a newspapers, in Computer Graphics and Web Design and as a TV Fixer besides having a M.A in Archaeology. His biggest interests are in guitar playing and the iron age. I believe I can learn a lot about living as a foreigner in Ireland and handling all the problems that can arise from reading his blog. It can give you a basic overlook of the Irish culture.

Michael Manski hosts his own radio show at the RSI (radio Slovenia international). He moved from New York to Maribor, Slovenia, God knows why. If you want to know how it feels to emigrate to Maribor, Slovenia I highly recommend you to read this blog. Manski has a brilliant sense of humour and his descriptions of the Slovenian culture are accurate and genuine. To conclude, good fun!
