well I'm in cologne now. kind of a LOT different than rome. no beggers, less churches, and somehow I predict a shower in store for me first thing in the morning. I decided I can't chance getting robbed at this point, seeing what it did to my friend. So I'm going to spend most of my time sitting in a drain growling and drooling at people. I figure ( Read more... )

OK, I am in rome, I traveled here with two girls from st. louis. We took the train from athens to platras, then took a cruise ship from there to bari, italy. after a day of sightseeing there, we headed by train to rome. it's awesome here, they get about 5 stars over the greeks. the colloseum is cool, and even cooler is the vatican. St Peters ( Read more... )

Ok, no offense to the greeks that are presumably going to be reading this letter, but I have a hard time respecting them after living in their country for a week, no more, no less. The Olympic stadium looks great, but hey, it'll look better in a year or two when it'll actually be completed. But let's not jump to conclucions, you guys work your ( Read more... )

ATHENS BOO YA! What can I say? I love this city. It took me 26 freakin hours by train, but I made it. When I finally made it to the hostel, I met up with some great people, and we've been kicking it ever since together. Alexis, here's thinking of you babe. Anyways, yesterday, we went almost all the way to the acropolis, we would've gone all the ( Read more... )

Ok, it's decided, macedonia it is. I went to book the train earlier today, and found out it was going to cost 3200 dinas to get from belgrade to athens. however, I only had a third of that money, so I hit the streets to find a cash machine. that search ended an hour and a half later, when I finally did come across one. god damn this sucks, no cash ( Read more... )

When I walk around this city, I find myself just repeating over and over again, 'holy crap, I'm in belgrade!'. This could be a bad thing, but it's definately got good written all over it. as fellow andre considered the possibility of renewed violence in the country and city, I have this to say ( Read more... )

Wow, what a few days this has been since I last updated. ok, well, maybe not worthy of a wow, but awesome nonetheless. Me and dom went to a ska/punk show last night at a club down by the river, called "močvara" meaning 'swamp'. It was sweet, I haven't been to a show like that in a long time. good people, good beer, good mosh pits, bruises a plenty ( Read more... )

Last night turned out to be a blast. Here I am thinking I'm ust going to play my guitar, when the next thing I know, there's an auzzie telling me that there's a soccer game going on tonight between croatia and turkey. the stadium is only about two blocks away, and tickets were about $2.50, how could I refuse ( Read more... )

Zagreb I am. I got an email a while ago from dom. he said simply, he'd be in zagreb if I wanted to meet up with him. So I emailed him telling him to meet me at the train station. he was not there. He had not read the email. I sent another one saying that we should meet up soon, cause I had no where to go. I ended up finding a place on the ( Read more... )
