If you had to guess where I am and what I am doing, would you say “drinking along in the basement of a hostel in Prague?” Because if you did, you would be correct. I am such a loser.
Actually, the truth is, I realized it’s been an incredibly long time since I updated this website and felt it was necessary to do so. And why not drink a few beers while I’m at it. They’re “cheap” here.
The last time we spoke, I was on a ferry coming from Greece to Venice. Oh wait, I have to interrupt this and tell you about my dinner tonight. I spent 4 Canadian on gruel from a homeless shelter. No joke. I didn’t realize what was going on until it was too late. I was sitting down eating my “food”, and I looked around at the clientele’s meth scars and stained sweat pants and was terribly frightened. I am such an idiot. I thought Prague was supposed to be cheap? Whatever. Back to the story.
The ferry to Venice was terrible. Two nights on a ferry. Thirty-four hours. One of the nights was outside. The other was in a room full of people walking around and coughing. Add in two and a half bottles of wine. Messy night, messy morning. All in all, by the time I arrived in Venice I was Grumpy McGrumpster, and was not in a good mood (duh). The water streets were cool, but I think the only time I smiled the entire day was when I stumbled into some court yard place and there was a guy singing Italian opera with the most impressive voice I have ever heard. No joke. He could have shared the stage with anyone - if his teeth weren’t so ugly.
Anyway. Venice was neat, and it was cool to check it out.
You guys also voted for me to go to Vienna. I always get Venice and Vienna mixed up. But I went to both. Vienna was a really cool city. It was clean, and nice. I’m glad I got to go, even thought it was a short stay (two nights). I walked around with an Australia and saw the sights. I also spent an incridble amount of time looking for a travel alarm clock, but had no luck. I must have looked in at least 20 stores. *sigh*.
Vienna was followed by two nights in BUDAPEST! Super cool! I went there, and left, before you even knew I was gone. I really need to get better at this whole updating-the-website thing. But the city was really cool. It’s actually split in two. Buda is the walled up city of coolness, and pest is on the other side of the river. I stayed in pest. Obviously. I watched Ocean’s 13… which was cool. And I also spend a considerable amount of time longing around in the thermal baths. Super cool. There were these saunas that was super hot, but the entire time I was there I was thinking about toxic spores from other people’s bodies and I had to evacuate. I was already sick. I’m not getting sick again.
And now I am in Prague. Three nights. Then three nights in Berlin. Then down to the places in Switzerland you guys suggested. Then I have a few more days before I head up to Amsterdam. Any ideas of where I should stop before I go to my final destination?
In Australia and NZ I am going to get a cellphone and update the site on the fly. In real time. When I do something stupid, or see someone with a mullet that I just want to cut off, I’ll let you know immediately. IMMEDIATELY! Also, I really want to take the sight to the next level and let you vote on EVERYTHING. My friends, my job. My clothes. I post how much money I’m making, where I’m spending it. Blah blah blah. Crazy? Yes. But it should be fun.
