Trucking along

2004-10-08 | Cologne, Germany

Today I woke up at 8:30 and wasn't even tired. I said goodbye to Maika and had breakfast. But today I had to check out so spent my whole morning organizing my stuff, showering, doing laundry and checking the internet.

I did a little last minute souvenir shopping and also had the idea to go to Cologne Germany next to see the Bascilla (huge cathedral) that I have been curious about. Really nothing interesting became of the morning and I wound myself in the train station jumping on a train to cologne at 1 PM.

On the train I met some Scottish people and talked with this girl Nieve a bunch. We talked a lot about Scotland because I had so much fun there. It was a really great conversation (as usual... everyone is interesting here). I arrived in Cologne and had one of the nicest welcomes ever! I walked out of the train station and viola! The grandest cathedral yet, listening to a trio including a violinist, an accordionist and some

A boring Saturday

2004-10-09 | Cologne, Germany

I didn't do a whole lot today. I woke up and spoke with a Canadian girl that was in my hostel. She is traveling the world solo for over a year! I have met many people that are doing this and it is pretty cool. I was surprised that she had enough money saved to do it. She has been all throughout Asia and Europe. I did mistake her for an American because of her accent.

I slept in probably because I am getting a little sick. I am just getting a little cold. But I took my vitamins (Barb) and some of the cold medicine to help fight it early.

I am bound to get a little sniffle here on my trip because I am coming in contact with so many germs, I am not sleeping a ton, I am eating all the local food and much more. Oh well, I will be fine. I am insured so if it gets bad I will go to the doctor.

I mostly hung around the hostel chit chatting because I was seeing if I could get another night here. The hostel was booked which didn't matter

Interesting Ways of Life

2004-10-10 | Copenhagen, Denmark

The train ride was a little long and we were delayed for 2 hours because a train far up ahead actually hit a car! In the train I met a guy from Germany who was going up to Denmark for a week. I learned of his job and his family. We talked a lot about music and I told him we could do a trade over the mail someday. The first thing I said to him was a German line asking if he spoke English. It was cool.

Another guy I met was from Alaska, but the dude was a punk skater traveling in Europe. He had bad B.O. and I swear the guy masturbated in his bed with four other people in the couchette. I was disgusted. People are really messed up.

Once I arrived in Copenhagen I hadn't yet booked accommodation (as usual). I met a guy renting out his flat as a hostel. He had room for 6 people in his flat. He was real nice and me and some other backpackers surrounded him asking him questions about his "hostel". We ended up

My first semi-uneventful day in a while

2004-10-11 | Copenhagen, Denmark

Last night there was some stuff that happened that I didn't write about that happened after the fact.

The first thing that happened was a great political discussion that I had while I talked on AIM with Susan. Palle, the flat owner, he actually was very passionate with political and world issues (which he should be) and I enjoyed our conversation a lot. He had a lot of good points about the war, Muslims, religion, terrorism and much more. here are some of the highlights on his points.



-women should be the first to be pissed about oppression in the Middle East

-In war you make mistakes, nothing is perfect and there were quite a few mistakes made with the context of the war.

-Since there are no democracies in all of the middle east, Iraq could possibly set an example

-Should we wait for them to nuke us and do more killing

-Many people have died under hardcore Muslims, yet the conservative Muslims sit in

Sweden and Denmark

2004-10-12 | Copenhagen, Denmark
Some of the new Mexican travelers staying in my room made me some damn good eggs and sausage this morning, afterward I did the dishes.

I commented on how big Paco's bag was and I took a picture of it. He weighed it in at about 47 pounds. It was absolutely huge and he is only gone for 2 months just like me. I was so glad I didn't pack that much.

Palle brought in a new customer from the station. She settled in and Palle was mentioning that she was really needing someone to show her around the city. I have already seen two days of Copenhagen and I planned on visiting Sweden today. But Alessandra (from Brazil) tagged along to my trip to Sweden. We went to a city called Malmo. There was a lot of shopping to do there and once we go there I ended up having one of the best meals I have had the whole vacation (Salmon). We did a lot of shopping (of course) and I found two perfect gifts for one of my
