Off to Amsterdam.... :-D

2004-10-06 | Amsterdam, Netherlands

When I woke up.... it was pure hell. I drank wayyyy too much whisky and beer with my Korean friends. I woke up late, I had a train to catch and I couldn't eat (a very bad sign). I know what happens when I cant down food.

Sluggishly I rotated from lying down in the bed and trying to get all my shit together. I ate about two pieces of cereal. Gladly I didn't have a huge headache. When I was getting my stuff ready though, I had that typical watering of the mouth sensation. Ut oh! :-D But I did my deed in a garbage bag, but it was just water. It pisses me off because the body didn't get rid of any alcohol in my stomach. And as soon as I was done, I was feeling great!

I hurried to get my stuff ready, for my train left in about 30 minutes and I had a long tube ride to get there. Well as you suspected I

A rainy Musee Day

2004-10-05 | Paris, France

Today I used up my 'all day' museum pass. First I stopped by the train station to pick up a ticket to Belgium. My friend I met online through this travel site wanted to meet up for a day. I got my tickets and then mapped out all of the museums that sounded interesting.

The first museum that I went into was the Musee D'Orsay. This one was pretty nice and I got the idea in my head to take photos of famous paintings WITH ME IN THE PHOTO! I took a photo of Van Gough's self portrait. I saw some of Monet's landscapes. And although they are quite nice with his use of color or whatever... he didn't really appeal to me.

The next museum was the Rodin museum. I didn't even do any research, I just knew it was popular. I really liked Rodin's sculptures, yet they were kind of like classy porn. Some of these museum buffs were probably like "oh.... I like his use of detail" when in fact their old fart asses are getting all hot and

Versailles, Notre Dame and Korea??

2004-10-04 | Paris, France

Today I woke up and went to my Korean breakfast. This place is starting to grow on me a little. I thought that while in France I would be wining and dining at some nice cafes. But here I am learning about Korean food and customs.

I woke up and went down to eat my breakfast. We have chopsticks and usually a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup. In the middle of the table is 4 dishes with spiced seaweed of some kind, some beans and a some other stuff (maybe some fish). This morning I was feeling rather adventurous and I was feeling comfortable with not disrespecting what they cooked me so I grabbed the milk and sugar and poured it on my rice (Taylor ). Immediately I got a reaction from a girl shocked that I did that. It was hilarious. I was explaining that that was how my family eats it. It was a great conversation piece because we were all giggling about it. They were even giggling about me shaving later.

Wandering the city

2004-10-02 | Paris, France

Today I got into town at about 7:30 AM and these really friendly French people in my crammed couchette helped me get situated. Once I hit the end of the station a guy walked up to me and asked if I had a place to stay. He showed me pictures of the hostel his sister ran (which was basically a huge house). I got the directions and headed there to check it out, for I would rather just get the pack off and stay at least one night.

I got in there and once I found it I saw that there were Eastern characters describing the location on the map and come to find out they set this up for Korean people visiting France.

I got in and I hadn't had dinner the night and they were having breakfast so the owner insisted I join in. It was very good and it definitely hit the spot.

The good thing about this hostel was that there was free internet so I caught up on things. While I was typing away I talked with the guy who

A boring last day and also my thoughts

2004-09-30 | Barcelona, Spain On Thursday John and I were on a venture out to find an STA travel store in Barcelona. The reason that John and I set out to find an STA travel was so that I could make major changes in my trip schedule.

Here is what I wrote when all of these things were going through my head one night.

I am thinking of going home early by a few weeks. Reason being... I would think I would be entirely exhausted if I traveled very quickly from city to city. It might of possibly been a mistake buying a 30 day consecutive rail pass. It forces me to try to get the most value out of it. It also cost me 700 bucks. Now that I am in the Mediterranean I kind of realize that I would rather chill than be in a hurry.

Fully utilizing rail pass cruising around Europe would be better if I had someone to interact with while on the boring trains.

I actually am doing quite well right now traveling by myself. I just enjoy relaxing and
