If I have to say something regarding my experience, I would simply put ' It was a Neato ' . An awesome experience amongst all the journeys I had so far.
It was like a ' multicultural assembly ' from all around the world (you’ll know it after reading Matt’s guest books).
During my stay, I had a chance to meet with cool people from Germany, India ... and even wonderful Texans; and all of ‘em regardless of nationality and cultural differences, were so close and friendly like they know each other for years. Don’t know if this had to do with their (these People) Personalities or the atmosphere of the home or Matt’s behavior which turned people to be cool and have fun together ; and no matter how was your day, the afternoon among the others always turns out to be a cool fun time. We even did cooking in turns, each cooked her/his traditional cuisine and common dishes from their countries. Matthew and I did some gardening too which was so fun the way he pruned the bushes.
We had several Barbecue gatherings, … even a surprise birthday party, which Me and Matt arranged For ' Nadine ' (one of the cool guests from Germany).
The living room is more like a full-equipped home-theatre, there is a large collection of DVDs of any genera and Matt’s also a rock fan which is obvious by looking at his Room.
Regarding his personality I should say: he resembles a wrestler in the middle of a serious and breath-taking battle, suddenly pops and bursts a laughing bomb which turns a heavy match to a laughing comedy. He doesn’t take anything too serious, always cheerful, reliable, helpful and doesn’t mind sharing his knowledge and helps you or even drives you to your destination (if you are not familiar with the area); he is also a well-organized person who cares a lot about hygiene and cleaning and you can see that in a super clean house; and in one word, despite he is young, you can't find a significant weak point in his personality. He’s in love with sports and particularly soccer (taking a look at his garage you can see that) and he tried his hand at almost any sport from golf to surfing to biking and so on... ; It seems like he has experience in anything you could think of, from coaching to gardening to mechanics…; He has a classic mustang, following a family legacy on collecting classics; and He has a Pit Bull, LEROY , which is so cool and Behaves , Friendly which I Grew Fond of It .
The saddest part was that unfortunately I had to move and couldn't be there to go along with them to the rock festival (Ozz / Rock Fest).
I wish the Best for Matthew and his Family, especially his cool dad Bruce, and I wish for Matt not to change his life style and never to lose the pace.
