The last day in Amsterdam felt like three days...
Honestly I didn't have my bike! That wasn't workin for me at all ha ha, that was the best part about Amsterdam!
Seriously my last day consist of laundry, eating, coffee shop here and there, and wasting time... Which doesn't work in Amsterdam the time moves sooooo slow...
I never met up with Lucas but he's back in London now, and probably will never see dean agian in my life... We never exchanged info.. So what ever!
I showed up at the train platform like three hours early ha ha and ask the guy working I this was where the night train to prauge leaves from!
and he said yea but you much to early, maybe you walk around or something...
.... Yea with all my shit cause that hasn't gotten boring over the last five hours what's a couple more... Come on
ughhhh
Anyways as you can tell the last day wasn't super eventfull!
when I finally saw the train pull up I was so so excited ha ha just to get on and lay down!
Thhe I rubbed my eye down with a nice little peice of pepper from the pizza I just ate.... Wow did not feell good at all!
And how about perfect timing.. One eye open Turing to read a ticket to were I belong on this giant never ending train!
make sure you right tho! Or the posibillities of waking up in warclow, Moscow, or Berlin are dam good...
I figured it out and asked many of people if this part off this train is going to prauge!
I took some tylonal sleep aid and woke up here and there! Which was a trip because I remember at one time the small room with six beds being full and I woke up and it was just me and the same guy I remember from the beggining!
and no it wasn't a dream I know this for a fact ha ha!
A lot can happen in fourteen hours!
The last hour I was up just starin out the window wishing the guy that sold coffee was at the stand... The country side is soooo nice!!
And now I'm in prauge!
I took a cheap taxi to my hostel which cost 200 krowns, maybe like seven euros..
I've only seen a lite bit! But I'm likin the price of things!
I'm using a completly different currency! Which is cool!
My hostel is super nice and was super cheap! It has a sauna , pool table, pool, big spacious rooms!
I payed 711 crowns for three nights which is under 40 €! It's killer!!!
Nice showers! I finally took a real nice hot soapy shower!
Ha ha it was gettin rough there for about the last week..
Im hoping to go out and have a fun night tonight!!
prauge can have a good night life and I know the beer is cheap!!
Oh yea and I got a message from a girl named tippe, I met her at the mittes bax pax hostel in Berlin!! Ha ha good times!
I think she's gonna come to prauge tomorrow to meet me!!
He'll yea!
So all update with more exciting news hopefully after a day or so!!
Love you all!

Tuesday, March 30, 2010
Yesterday was my last full day in the Netherlands! What's next?
Yesterday After I updated my blog and had my coffee I headed out to get stuff done I found a big post office and bought some small packaging to send off a few things!
I don't know why I'm such a space cadet but I am! When I was unlocking my bike in front if the post office the guy that took my mail and ask me if I wanted my 34,50€ ...... Wow!
uhhhh I guess may as well take it right... WTF
Any ways I went back to the street my hostel is one to an over priced Internet caffe and payed 4 euros for an hour....
I used the first half hour for looking and train schedules and ways to leave Amsterdam!
I came to the conclusion that i was gonna take a 14 hour overnight train to prauge!!
So I went to the hostel got my rail pass and headed down to the central station, which is a bit of a treck! Of course fun by bike tho!
I got my train scheduled in for tonight!! Wo hoo!
After I had my reservation ticket for a couchete and felt good and relaxed I went back to the internet caffe and emailed my bank about one of my cards and booked some accomadation for when I there! I printed two sheets of paper and he asked for a euro! Say what?
I told him all I had was the 35 cents in my pocket..
He sai your lying but all take that any way and keptthe paper ha ha the Dutch are crazy i'm tellin ya.
So I just said ok har a nice day and left!
Anyways I got my stuff done!
Im gettin better at this whole thing! Ha ha the busier it gets the less wingin it you can do!
But I'm still wingin it ha ha it's not Spain any more it's prauge!
I knew I get east!
Then I just kinda started riding all Over town because most my list of things I needed to do were done!
I found out yesterday by two cops that you can't ride your bike on a walk zone.... And especiAlly not that fast lol!
wools I guess there are rules...
No wonder everybody looked at me wierd when I cruised past them pushing there bikes...
So now I know the parts of the city where I must walk beside my bike! And do..... When theres cops.
I found a pretty cool little park and rode to the end and back! Ha ha then started making my way back!
I stopped at a coffee shop just to chill out and probably call it a somewhat early night for the day and train ride ahead of me!
After my coffee I was definitily ready for bed! :)
I woke ip this morning and organized my stuff to check out! These people are natzis about checking out! They make announcmets they come in at 9:30 and ask who's checking out....
Its like dam chill out! I have a half hour get out of my room!!
I checked out and had breakfast in the lobby, some toast and coffee!
After my stay here i've realized
The Dutch are very black and white..
There's no discution most the time..
Im at the laundry mat talking to this guy that moved here five years ago and he said yes, being excepted by the Dutch isn't always easy..
I didn't feel welcome many places I went..
I had fun tho and came to the conclusion that if your going to Amsterdam bring a friend! For sure because it's really not easy to interact with a lo of the people or your aproaching a groups a stoned friends that are gonna natually single you out.. Idk it's wierd!
I hung out with dean and those other three kids for that day and really that was it during my almost five days..
drinking coffee here by your self isn't all that exciting either ha ha..
I learned a lot in Amsterdam actually! And saw quite a bit!
Random Dutch things,
I never heard one siren
The day after Easter and Christmas are a holiday! A big one just known as the day after
i think that's because the only have four holidays ha ha
And there's more but I gotta go rerun my bike!
But before I go!!
Felicia made my day with an amazing email!! Seriously!!
Im gonna respond next time I have Internet and can take my time!!
I love you feesh!!! We need to talk soon! Let's plan it!!
And miss my family, the bean, and all my friends!!
Amsterdam sucked my wallet dry Idk what it is but it seems like your alwas spending money on stupid stuff...
Its just expensive! So the money Better further in the east or else all be seeing you soon!

Paris to Amsterdam! This is a big one... Got a little behind
Ryan and I went to Jim morrisons grave on mon! His cascet wasn't that crazy it was actually mor basic than most..it had a bottle of Jack on it ha ha! But the cemtary was somethin else! Some of the people have full on house lookin things.. You'll hAve to see pictures it's really different, and so something I had never seen!
Then we went to notra dame because I didn't go in because I didn't think it was free.. I'm glad it was free because the inside is just not as nice as you would think for such an amazing looking structure! We saw some guy blowing up big giant bubbles ha ha random.. But people will do anything for extra change in paris.. Seriously! Then We wet and grabbed a beer by and sat by the river and just kinda chilled for a little while, it was fun because all the tour boats that come by wave and I yell back! Ha ha some boats are fun and some just arnt..
We headed back to the hostel and ended up meeting a kid named nick, he's cool but a little arogent and always questions you or has to be right... Kinda gets old..
Before we headed out to check out the arc de triumph I got to talking to this older guy from scotland who was hard to understand like really hard to understand especially when niema the girl working cut him off at 2 pm lol he was pissed (drunk) as the scottish would say! Ha ha I was just sitting in the back of the bar filming niema yelling at him!
But he bought me a beer so I gave it my best shot at carrying on a conversation! Then this black older guy bought me a Guinness cause he was drinking one and I talked to him all about Dublin and what not!
I got a picture with him cause he was cool!
I finished my beer and we headed out! The arch was really really cool! Then we walked to the river and walked along all the cool stuff which never gets old ha ha but it was nicks first day in the city so it worked out!
We ended our walk with a a couple beers that Nic bought! Ha ha fine with me! Go baller go!
Went back had another off the wall but normal night at the peace and love lol!
Partied with these two Swedish girls and some kids from Canada and the jo's friend (the bouncer) gave me a ride thru town on his scooter! Ha ha wow i was lovin it and taking pictures on the back ha ha!
Got back partied some more started thinking about where I was gonna stay cause once agian the hostel was booked so Clair the girl that works there let me stay a her apartment!
Free night number 3 in Paris! Whoo hooo
we walked thru a really cool park on the way back and then I went straight to bed!
in the morning I headed back to the hostel around noon caught up with some people from the night before and looked at the pictures which is always fun! Ha ha
I told Marie that I would walk around with her yesterday and she thought I would forget ha ha but I didn't and we went up to the park that she hadn't seen! The one I described on like my first day and where I liked to write my blogs!
after the park Marie wanted to check out more of the Lue so we caught the metro Down to that area which is a cool area to walk and hung out at the Lue for a while! She had two sandwhiches and gave me one cause I was so hungry ha ha she's an awsome girl! She's 28 and she traveled Iran, sryria, most of eastern Europe and she's going for a year! She's nine months in!
We went back to the hostel to catch some free wi fi before it starts to charge at six! I booked a hostel in amsterdam And one thing led to another it was my last night in Paris and I was gonna party hard! Ha ha like I needed a reason after the last ten days :)
Oliver the guy that was there at the beginning of my stay and went to prauge with Chad, he was there and let me crash at his place!
We played a bunch of fun game ad these two girls played coaster with us ha ha and talked about how bad Teresa legs hurt all the next morning, sang a girl happy b day and and went to the bar down the street when the hostel bar closed!
The bar tender who likes me and I really like her cause she always remembers my heiniken with lemon gae me a hug and a side to side kiss and I got a picture with her! I've got to come back to Paris I feel like I have sooo many friends there ha ha!
Every One left and i walked to Oliver house with Jenny another girl that works there and two Swedish girls lol and Nic! Always random I love it!
we hung out in his total 70's apartment and didn't wait long after the son came up to pass out! Free night number four in Paris!!
Idk why but we were up at nine and I walked to the hostel checked some train schedules and headed out after saying good bye for one last time to catch a train at 12:25 I went to information to make sure my pass would be fine so I don't end up paying some random a hole 115€ agian and she said yes you just have to make a reservation at the counter behind here.. Ok sounds easy enough!
.... No .. I waited in a line that had maybe 25 people in it for about 45 min! Some dude walks up and says I'm gonna go ahead I'm really sorry my train leaves in 10 min.. I was like uhhh wierd so does mine!! no man wait your turn!
so he just kept mumbelung stuff and finally I got up to a window and...
couldn't get a reservation for that train... Really I just waited for 45 min swaying cause I felt slightly groggy.... Just slightly... Ughhhh
Any ways my option were a b or c
A buy a train ticket for 285€
B reserve with my rail pass for 26€ leave at seven switch trains in Brussels and get to Amsterdam at mid night
Or c stay 2 more nights at the peace and love
It was obviously betwen b and c
And I chose b
I took the metro back because I didn't feel like getting soaking wet walking like I did on the way to the station!
Ha ha I jump the rolling bar to the metro entrance and kinda for I was wearing my back pack lol so I'm standing there stuck between the metal rollie thing and a door that doesn't open when you ride the metro like I do.. :) yea I got some funny looks on that one! Ha ha
I just took my pack of and lifted it over and slipped thru!
when I got back to the hostel they were like really? Lol you can't leave can you! It's a sign stay here!
so I told them the storie and slept in the lobby for about three hours then chatted It up a lite bit with the new kids from canada Marie, Milan, and chopper! I'm gonna keep in touch with Milan and chopper! There cool ass he'll! And I hope to randomly pop in on them!
leaving a city is always a little different! It's kind of a down time :( but it's a never ending cycle really..
But it does end and it ends with the people I love most!
My family and friends and all the people readin this blog!
I can wait to see you guys!!!!!!!!!
I met a really cool guy from romania whos living in paris and i will hot him up for sure when i go back! His names dimitri and we had some cool conversation!
I had to switch trains in brussels and wait an hour so I'm sitting here on the train waiting to head out!
The train is full of crazies and i think I've made the wise decision that I'm getting a taxi straight to my hostel!
Plus I'm beat up! I need a couple days to chill! I'm partied out
Untill I get back to Paris in a month or so! :)
So there's more coming and of course when I get internet I'm gonna up load my blog!
Part two!! Sorry ha ha
Amsterdam!
First day in Amsterdam I got to the central station at about 12:15 am a little tired and confused as always in a new country or city.. I wasn't in the mood or really didn't have the energy to figure out tram lines and maps and busses and basically how to get to my hostel.. So for the first time in my travels I hopped in a taxi.. Which I don't like to do, he was a cool guy at first untill he charged me 35 € for a ride out to a hostel called the Slotania.. I didn't really like it.. When I got there I just checked in and went to my room to sleep, which was well needed I tryed to get my pj's on in the pitch black next make my bed, which has nothing on i ha ha that's aalways hard and I always feel bad... Some people just turn on the light and do there thing which might be better than me talking to my self and saying ow or ughh every ten secconds!
I woke up about noon and it was perfect I woke up feelng like my self agian! I was still a little beat up.. Really like I needed two full days of rest to skake those ten days in Paris!
Ha ha I went down to reception and asked what the best way to get back to city center was and what's the best coffee shop ha ha jk.. I found that on my own :) ha ha
I have to take the tram 14 to and from the hostel every time for 2,60 ... Ouch!
The fisrg day was wierd... It's hard to meet people in this city i think there very proud to be locals.. Idk
But what ever sometimes it's nice to be alone!
I walked around checked things out, it always takes a day or so to feel relaxed and like you know what's goin on and what you need to do..
I walked in a weed/hemp museum thing it was only two euros and I'm really glad I didn't pay more it was ok but nothing to exiting.. I felt like it was put put together for high people just to make money I didn't learn anything..
Except that hemp can be used for sooooooooo much, bu come on I knew that!
Just mosied around some more walked thru the red light distirict ha ha that's just like in the pictures and how people talk about it! Window shopping! It's Interesting to watch! Ha ha really it's out of control!
but anyways there's olny so much red light district you can handle, so I went and grabbed a bite to eat!
I went in this smaller sized shop and got a double cheesburger and a drink I sat down at a four person table, and the guy told me that a two person table was enough for me ha ha like ok... All go eat in the corner no problem man!
There's no one in there! Wow!
So after my first day of getting to roam the city I still wasn't feelin it... I'dk just one thing on top of another!
The hostel I'm at doesn't have wi fi it cost like I said 2,60 to back from the city.:.
I went back pretty early the first night and crashed the next morning I got up early and felt good with all the sleep I was able to get! Almost 100%, traveling takes a lot out of you at times.
But it was cool cause I was up early enough for some complimentry breakfast which wasn't to bad at all I was stoaked on the coffee machine! Ha ha
After breakfast I sat down and wrote some post cards that Ive already lost... Oops!
And then I realized that i had to check out because that night was my second night! Which was fine cause I wanted the he'll out of the Slotania!
I looked on the computers for a new hostel and wanted to stay where Lucas was staying but it didn't work out..
the staff lady was a $&)& and wouldn't help at all, she said she had three hours worth of work ahead of her and no one was in the lobby... Wow
Your computers up stairs don't work and you won't help me! Thanks!
so that's when I met dean who was kind of in the same boat.. So we went to city center together with all all stuff and looked for accomadation on there computers that they have! We found a cheap hostel that was pretty city center but for Saturday night it was cool just to get a place!
so we walked a pretty good distance to this hotel/ hostel place!
Finally we found it got a room with three other kids about 20 years old And they were studying in spain!
So we all ended up chatting and going out!
They wanted to go to the yellow mellow coffee shop, so dean and I joined!
Ha ha wow I don't even know how to explain this but a coffee shop/ pot bar just doesn't have that live vibrant atmosphere! Ha ha Im not sure why?
We sat next to this older couple smoking a joint then some hash and they looked so happy and just nice, so I started talkin to them and we talked about the most random shit but what ever ha ha it was better than just sitting there...
the people I was with didn't say much so WTF..
I was like hey you guys wanna play some foosball... Uuuuuuuuu
I don't know man..... Well........ Shit....... Do think we can...... Uuuuuuuuu do you guys want to.... Maybe a ha ha ha a ha ha
Wow really!
Everyones to high to plays foosball this is stupid!
So this girl pulls out a deck of cards and we decided to play spoons.... Slow motion spoons lol
It made me realizizes that pot really does take away a lot of the good and replaces it with mellow mellow mellow!
Of course depending on the crowd and place but it was just wierd ha ha.
Then we walked slower than I've ever walked I felt like I was leading a group of pot heads around...
Everyone was indisisive and didn't care what we did, but we. Always did nothing.... Those The times that you would rather be alone! Seriously!!!
To wrap up this stoned drug out day, we went to a flAlawful shop and the guys was a natzi about taking peoples order and getting them out of there...
Then guess why the big descisiom After that was?
Find a coffee shop. Why becuasi it was cold.... What?
Any ways I went with it becAuse I just kept looking ahead to the next day if being Alone and renting a bike and just cruising!!! Doing all the cool stuff! Coffee shops not involved ha ha!
The second coffee shop we went into was cool with it's smooth up beat music that was loud!
We all sat around a table a just didn't say much... Then these three guys came and sat down, after like five minutes of almost silence I had to say something..
hey so what's up.. Ahh were you guys from!
Yay conversation!!
Seriously I know this sounds dumb but the people I were with just were far from outgoing especially after a joint.. Wow
Anywas I talked to these three guys for a while and it was cool!
Lol ask one o them to take a picture of us and it was on record! Ha ha I was laughing my ass off! So it made for a funny little video.. :)
We ended up headin back kinda early it was around eight!
The hostel bar had it's seperated groups all through out the bar area agian...
And I decided I was gonna call it a night because I didn't want to go drink and blown money on what could have very easily been a boring night...
So I was out by about nine!
I woke up the next moring and was stoaked on getting my bike and cruising around on my own lovely pace!
then dean said he was gonna join and I was like what ever.. Sounds good!
On a bike it was awsome wholy he'll! Cruising with the traffic and in the bike lane and on the side walks!! Ha ha beat the he'll out of walking on cramped side walks!
I love it!
Anyways we saw Anne frankes house that was intereting!
I liked it, except you couldn't take pictures... For 8,50€ I'm gonna take some pictures!
So I snuck what I could! Which was pretty good actually!
Then we went to and internet caffee and I emailed my momma and Lucas! I feel bad because Its hard to keep up with blogs and emails when there's alays SOMETHING!
Like my sisters I miss them like crazy an we don't et to talk that much...
Any ways I got on face book real quick with like ten min left and started chatting with brad Armstrong! Brad's the shit!
Afer we left there it was off to the hieneken factory!
I wasn't that impressed to say the least... I was two cornet to mordern... To much brain washing you in likeing hieneken and idk.. The best part was getting a hold of my momma!! That's for sure!!
Didnt compare to the Guinness factory!
We met some really girls from texas! A mom a dughter and and aunt!
They were super cool and easy to talk to! I actually ended up getting the aunts buisness card to come visit!
and the super super super shy daughters face book ha ha..
They invited dean and I out to dinner but we didn't go... They were eating a little to high class!
It was gettin dark so we headed back to the hostel which was good because I wanted to charge my phone!
We got there and I went right to the room plugged in the phone and called my mom! We talked for 1:30 min and still was hard to hang up! We had some catching up to do shit!
With out Internet and so much happening i felt like I lost touch for a little bit...
But I'm almost all up to date and it's good!!!
I was gonna go out with bryan but he got a little impatiant..
And took off.. I don't blame tho!
So I went cruisen by my self on my bike!! Yay!!
Went to the red light district to see I at night for the first time!
Its crazy at night! More girls, red windows everywere' it like staright buisness!
Certian areas are cheaper that others and there's higher end parts! Lol it really is shopping!
Theres big girls, old girls, and HOT Girls lol...
I some video.... ThAt wasn't easy ha ha
Then my battery in my camera died and I was cold so I was gonna head back!
Amsterdam at nigt is so easy to get lost in! Wow!
Canals, and endless allies and streets!
So About two hours later I made it back ready for bed!
Were up to today now!!
This morning i woke up typed a little blog went to return my bike I like it to much the guy said just keep it if you want! So I took off and all pay 8 euros tomorrow!!
I rode to an inernet caffe got me a nice coffee with a heart! I took pictures cause it was cool!
Ha ha now I sitting here and omg I up to date!!
I don't know what I'm doing next...
Probably gonna figure out how I'm leaving Amsterdam!

I'm thinkin probably not....
All let you know tho!!
Love you miss you and of course I can't wait to see you!!
So many stories gets left out, that I can't wait to tell you! :)
Ps amsterdam is not my favorite city for all of you that thought it would be ha ha!
Amsterdam made me realize a lot of things tho!
Then we went to notra dame because I didn't go in because I didn't think it was free.. I'm glad it was free because the inside is just not as nice as you would think for such an amazing looking structure! We saw some guy blowing up big giant bubbles ha ha random.. But people will do anything for extra change in paris.. Seriously! Then We wet and grabbed a beer by and sat by the river and just kinda chilled for a little while, it was fun because all the tour boats that come by wave and I yell back! Ha ha some boats are fun and some just arnt..
We headed back to the hostel and ended up meeting a kid named nick, he's cool but a little arogent and always questions you or has to be right... Kinda gets old..
Before we headed out to check out the arc de triumph I got to talking to this older guy from scotland who was hard to understand like really hard to understand especially when niema the girl working cut him off at 2 pm lol he was pissed (drunk) as the scottish would say! Ha ha I was just sitting in the back of the bar filming niema yelling at him!
But he bought me a beer so I gave it my best shot at carrying on a conversation! Then this black older guy bought me a Guinness cause he was drinking one and I talked to him all about Dublin and what not!
I got a picture with him cause he was cool!
I finished my beer and we headed out! The arch was really really cool! Then we walked to the river and walked along all the cool stuff which never gets old ha ha but it was nicks first day in the city so it worked out!
We ended our walk with a a couple beers that Nic bought! Ha ha fine with me! Go baller go!
Went back had another off the wall but normal night at the peace and love lol!
Partied with these two Swedish girls and some kids from Canada and the jo's friend (the bouncer) gave me a ride thru town on his scooter! Ha ha wow i was lovin it and taking pictures on the back ha ha!
Got back partied some more started thinking about where I was gonna stay cause once agian the hostel was booked so Clair the girl that works there let me stay a her apartment!
Free night number 3 in Paris! Whoo hooo

in the morning I headed back to the hostel around noon caught up with some people from the night before and looked at the pictures which is always fun! Ha ha
I told Marie that I would walk around with her yesterday and she thought I would forget ha ha but I didn't and we went up to the park that she hadn't seen! The one I described on like my first day and where I liked to write my blogs!
after the park Marie wanted to check out more of the Lue so we caught the metro Down to that area which is a cool area to walk and hung out at the Lue for a while! She had two sandwhiches and gave me one cause I was so hungry ha ha she's an awsome girl! She's 28 and she traveled Iran, sryria, most of eastern Europe and she's going for a year! She's nine months in!
We went back to the hostel to catch some free wi fi before it starts to charge at six! I booked a hostel in amsterdam And one thing led to another it was my last night in Paris and I was gonna party hard! Ha ha like I needed a reason after the last ten days :)
Oliver the guy that was there at the beginning of my stay and went to prauge with Chad, he was there and let me crash at his place!
We played a bunch of fun game ad these two girls played coaster with us ha ha and talked about how bad Teresa legs hurt all the next morning, sang a girl happy b day and and went to the bar down the street when the hostel bar closed!
The bar tender who likes me and I really like her cause she always remembers my heiniken with lemon gae me a hug and a side to side kiss and I got a picture with her! I've got to come back to Paris I feel like I have sooo many friends there ha ha!
Every One left and i walked to Oliver house with Jenny another girl that works there and two Swedish girls lol and Nic! Always random I love it!
we hung out in his total 70's apartment and didn't wait long after the son came up to pass out! Free night number four in Paris!!
Idk why but we were up at nine and I walked to the hostel checked some train schedules and headed out after saying good bye for one last time to catch a train at 12:25 I went to information to make sure my pass would be fine so I don't end up paying some random a hole 115€ agian and she said yes you just have to make a reservation at the counter behind here.. Ok sounds easy enough!
.... No .. I waited in a line that had maybe 25 people in it for about 45 min! Some dude walks up and says I'm gonna go ahead I'm really sorry my train leaves in 10 min.. I was like uhhh wierd so does mine!! no man wait your turn!
so he just kept mumbelung stuff and finally I got up to a window and...
couldn't get a reservation for that train... Really I just waited for 45 min swaying cause I felt slightly groggy.... Just slightly... Ughhhh
Any ways my option were a b or c
A buy a train ticket for 285€
B reserve with my rail pass for 26€ leave at seven switch trains in Brussels and get to Amsterdam at mid night
Or c stay 2 more nights at the peace and love
It was obviously betwen b and c
And I chose b
I took the metro back because I didn't feel like getting soaking wet walking like I did on the way to the station!
Ha ha I jump the rolling bar to the metro entrance and kinda for I was wearing my back pack lol so I'm standing there stuck between the metal rollie thing and a door that doesn't open when you ride the metro like I do.. :) yea I got some funny looks on that one! Ha ha
I just took my pack of and lifted it over and slipped thru!
when I got back to the hostel they were like really? Lol you can't leave can you! It's a sign stay here!
so I told them the storie and slept in the lobby for about three hours then chatted It up a lite bit with the new kids from canada Marie, Milan, and chopper! I'm gonna keep in touch with Milan and chopper! There cool ass he'll! And I hope to randomly pop in on them!
leaving a city is always a little different! It's kind of a down time :( but it's a never ending cycle really..
But it does end and it ends with the people I love most!
My family and friends and all the people readin this blog!
I can wait to see you guys!!!!!!!!!
I met a really cool guy from romania whos living in paris and i will hot him up for sure when i go back! His names dimitri and we had some cool conversation!
I had to switch trains in brussels and wait an hour so I'm sitting here on the train waiting to head out!
The train is full of crazies and i think I've made the wise decision that I'm getting a taxi straight to my hostel!
Plus I'm beat up! I need a couple days to chill! I'm partied out
Untill I get back to Paris in a month or so! :)
So there's more coming and of course when I get internet I'm gonna up load my blog!
Part two!! Sorry ha ha
Amsterdam!
First day in Amsterdam I got to the central station at about 12:15 am a little tired and confused as always in a new country or city.. I wasn't in the mood or really didn't have the energy to figure out tram lines and maps and busses and basically how to get to my hostel.. So for the first time in my travels I hopped in a taxi.. Which I don't like to do, he was a cool guy at first untill he charged me 35 € for a ride out to a hostel called the Slotania.. I didn't really like it.. When I got there I just checked in and went to my room to sleep, which was well needed I tryed to get my pj's on in the pitch black next make my bed, which has nothing on i ha ha that's aalways hard and I always feel bad... Some people just turn on the light and do there thing which might be better than me talking to my self and saying ow or ughh every ten secconds!
I woke up about noon and it was perfect I woke up feelng like my self agian! I was still a little beat up.. Really like I needed two full days of rest to skake those ten days in Paris!
Ha ha I went down to reception and asked what the best way to get back to city center was and what's the best coffee shop ha ha jk.. I found that on my own :) ha ha
I have to take the tram 14 to and from the hostel every time for 2,60 ... Ouch!
The fisrg day was wierd... It's hard to meet people in this city i think there very proud to be locals.. Idk
But what ever sometimes it's nice to be alone!
I walked around checked things out, it always takes a day or so to feel relaxed and like you know what's goin on and what you need to do..
I walked in a weed/hemp museum thing it was only two euros and I'm really glad I didn't pay more it was ok but nothing to exiting.. I felt like it was put put together for high people just to make money I didn't learn anything..
Except that hemp can be used for sooooooooo much, bu come on I knew that!
Just mosied around some more walked thru the red light distirict ha ha that's just like in the pictures and how people talk about it! Window shopping! It's Interesting to watch! Ha ha really it's out of control!
but anyways there's olny so much red light district you can handle, so I went and grabbed a bite to eat!
I went in this smaller sized shop and got a double cheesburger and a drink I sat down at a four person table, and the guy told me that a two person table was enough for me ha ha like ok... All go eat in the corner no problem man!
There's no one in there! Wow!
So after my first day of getting to roam the city I still wasn't feelin it... I'dk just one thing on top of another!
The hostel I'm at doesn't have wi fi it cost like I said 2,60 to back from the city.:.
I went back pretty early the first night and crashed the next morning I got up early and felt good with all the sleep I was able to get! Almost 100%, traveling takes a lot out of you at times.
But it was cool cause I was up early enough for some complimentry breakfast which wasn't to bad at all I was stoaked on the coffee machine! Ha ha
After breakfast I sat down and wrote some post cards that Ive already lost... Oops!
And then I realized that i had to check out because that night was my second night! Which was fine cause I wanted the he'll out of the Slotania!
I looked on the computers for a new hostel and wanted to stay where Lucas was staying but it didn't work out..
the staff lady was a $&)& and wouldn't help at all, she said she had three hours worth of work ahead of her and no one was in the lobby... Wow
Your computers up stairs don't work and you won't help me! Thanks!
so that's when I met dean who was kind of in the same boat.. So we went to city center together with all all stuff and looked for accomadation on there computers that they have! We found a cheap hostel that was pretty city center but for Saturday night it was cool just to get a place!
so we walked a pretty good distance to this hotel/ hostel place!
Finally we found it got a room with three other kids about 20 years old And they were studying in spain!
So we all ended up chatting and going out!
They wanted to go to the yellow mellow coffee shop, so dean and I joined!
Ha ha wow I don't even know how to explain this but a coffee shop/ pot bar just doesn't have that live vibrant atmosphere! Ha ha Im not sure why?
We sat next to this older couple smoking a joint then some hash and they looked so happy and just nice, so I started talkin to them and we talked about the most random shit but what ever ha ha it was better than just sitting there...
the people I was with didn't say much so WTF..
I was like hey you guys wanna play some foosball... Uuuuuuuuu
I don't know man..... Well........ Shit....... Do think we can...... Uuuuuuuuu do you guys want to.... Maybe a ha ha ha a ha ha
Wow really!
Everyones to high to plays foosball this is stupid!
So this girl pulls out a deck of cards and we decided to play spoons.... Slow motion spoons lol
It made me realizizes that pot really does take away a lot of the good and replaces it with mellow mellow mellow!
Of course depending on the crowd and place but it was just wierd ha ha.
Then we walked slower than I've ever walked I felt like I was leading a group of pot heads around...
Everyone was indisisive and didn't care what we did, but we. Always did nothing.... Those The times that you would rather be alone! Seriously!!!
To wrap up this stoned drug out day, we went to a flAlawful shop and the guys was a natzi about taking peoples order and getting them out of there...
Then guess why the big descisiom After that was?
Find a coffee shop. Why becuasi it was cold.... What?
Any ways I went with it becAuse I just kept looking ahead to the next day if being Alone and renting a bike and just cruising!!! Doing all the cool stuff! Coffee shops not involved ha ha!
The second coffee shop we went into was cool with it's smooth up beat music that was loud!
We all sat around a table a just didn't say much... Then these three guys came and sat down, after like five minutes of almost silence I had to say something..
hey so what's up.. Ahh were you guys from!
Yay conversation!!
Seriously I know this sounds dumb but the people I were with just were far from outgoing especially after a joint.. Wow
Anywas I talked to these three guys for a while and it was cool!
Lol ask one o them to take a picture of us and it was on record! Ha ha I was laughing my ass off! So it made for a funny little video.. :)
We ended up headin back kinda early it was around eight!
The hostel bar had it's seperated groups all through out the bar area agian...
And I decided I was gonna call it a night because I didn't want to go drink and blown money on what could have very easily been a boring night...
So I was out by about nine!
I woke up the next moring and was stoaked on getting my bike and cruising around on my own lovely pace!
then dean said he was gonna join and I was like what ever.. Sounds good!
On a bike it was awsome wholy he'll! Cruising with the traffic and in the bike lane and on the side walks!! Ha ha beat the he'll out of walking on cramped side walks!
I love it!
Anyways we saw Anne frankes house that was intereting!
I liked it, except you couldn't take pictures... For 8,50€ I'm gonna take some pictures!
So I snuck what I could! Which was pretty good actually!
Then we went to and internet caffee and I emailed my momma and Lucas! I feel bad because Its hard to keep up with blogs and emails when there's alays SOMETHING!
Like my sisters I miss them like crazy an we don't et to talk that much...
Any ways I got on face book real quick with like ten min left and started chatting with brad Armstrong! Brad's the shit!
Afer we left there it was off to the hieneken factory!
I wasn't that impressed to say the least... I was two cornet to mordern... To much brain washing you in likeing hieneken and idk.. The best part was getting a hold of my momma!! That's for sure!!
Didnt compare to the Guinness factory!
We met some really girls from texas! A mom a dughter and and aunt!
They were super cool and easy to talk to! I actually ended up getting the aunts buisness card to come visit!
and the super super super shy daughters face book ha ha..
They invited dean and I out to dinner but we didn't go... They were eating a little to high class!
It was gettin dark so we headed back to the hostel which was good because I wanted to charge my phone!
We got there and I went right to the room plugged in the phone and called my mom! We talked for 1:30 min and still was hard to hang up! We had some catching up to do shit!
With out Internet and so much happening i felt like I lost touch for a little bit...
But I'm almost all up to date and it's good!!!
I was gonna go out with bryan but he got a little impatiant..
And took off.. I don't blame tho!
So I went cruisen by my self on my bike!! Yay!!
Went to the red light district to see I at night for the first time!
Its crazy at night! More girls, red windows everywere' it like staright buisness!
Certian areas are cheaper that others and there's higher end parts! Lol it really is shopping!
Theres big girls, old girls, and HOT Girls lol...
I some video.... ThAt wasn't easy ha ha
Then my battery in my camera died and I was cold so I was gonna head back!
Amsterdam at nigt is so easy to get lost in! Wow!
Canals, and endless allies and streets!
So About two hours later I made it back ready for bed!
Were up to today now!!
This morning i woke up typed a little blog went to return my bike I like it to much the guy said just keep it if you want! So I took off and all pay 8 euros tomorrow!!
I rode to an inernet caffe got me a nice coffee with a heart! I took pictures cause it was cool!
Ha ha now I sitting here and omg I up to date!!
I don't know what I'm doing next...
Probably gonna figure out how I'm leaving Amsterdam!

And I was calling the dog over to me
You know like come here buddy, come on... It's ok..
Ha ha and the people pointed at the dog and said no English!
Lol oh yea even the dogs speak french!
No wonder the dog was looking at me like WTF?
Any ways
I left the park aroun 3:30 i think and went to take a shower and wanted to see Jim morrisons grave but they closed the cemetaray At four...
So I went with copper to the store and we got some dinner!
Ha ha every one gives us shit now because the second night I was sooo drunk I was confessing my love to chopper lol!
He's a cool dude And he always says dude I've met a lot of carzy people in my life but what is wrong with you man ha ha you take the cake, and I like you!
Hes a bar tender and a bouncer all keep in on my good side!
Ha ha the whole staff here is just sooo cool!
Milan and chopper arethe best tho hands down!
But dinner was dam good chopper payed and cooked! I cleaned!
Ha ha it was Christina, Liz, and aneilas last night so I was hoping it would be a good one! And oh wow it was!
Jo was watching the door, Milan was working and chopper was off!
we stared drinking and it turned into a wild night!
The only thing that bother me is the newly weds were kind of different in the way that the girl was trying to hook up with christina and kept saying if I'm bothering you just say something then Sam the husband always joked about if the two girls end up liking each other we have to let them do there thing.... Ha ha yea ok and then what do I do?
He said our room has to beds... He's like dude my wife loves that girl man she beutifle...
I was WTF... This is wierd cause they both were like bi sexual I guess..
So I told him now man I'm gettin Nother free night cause I'm sleeping on the floor in there room!
so uea if for some reason Christina turns lesbain and stops liking me the you'll be stuck in your room by your self...
and then he metioned three some any ways I won't go to far into this but it was wierd after a while...
Cause chopper will say hey sweet heart or hey bitch here's ten bucks I'm buying us a beer!
and he's joking and I no that but this Sam guy lays it on thick in a jokingly but serious way...
All explain cause thAt might have been confusing but it was wierd and there still here...
but anways we partied till 2 at the hostel then went to the bar we always go to! Milan came down when he was off and it was a cool crowd! The bar tenders At this bar hooked me up cause we've been comin down and staying till five!

Yea sorry man that's a problem not moving an inch...
I said give me five min all go down!
So I cameto the lobby feeling like a train ran me over and bought a room so i could go sleep!
Sleeping during the day is a horrible feeling for me...
I kinda had a sad day yesterday, layed in bed missin every one..
This has been non stop craziness with so many people comin and goin!
Its always something new! That's why is easy to stay at a hostel for ten days! You know the staff and the people that stay a couple days and new people are always checking in!
I miss christina a little bit not gonna lie... She was a cool ass girl! I'm gonna to to florence and stay with them!
But any ways I managed to sleep till about eight and I came down feeling so much better fish dillon and Sam were down in the lobby drinking a beer!
I joined them with a juice ha ha and went and got food for Milan and my self! Milan told menwhat to order and it was amazing!
Then I ask Milan for a soda and he hands me a half pint with a lime lol he says that's a soda right..

I don't think I'm leaving Paris! Ha ha
Wow saint patties day or in Paris At the peace and love hostel! Ha ha couldn't of been better!
We decked out the hostel with streamer ballons you know all the good stuff like that! Chopper and Milan were giving a table of us free shots to blow up balloons! :) shit all blow up ballons all night ha ha! Gotta save money! I fill up the ice bucket for free drinks sooo why not!
We played The coaster game lol! Let me explain the coaster game it's real easy!
You start with a stack of coasters about 4 inches high and you bend the top one in a 90 degree angle so half of it sticks up, so to grab this coaster you have to use your mouth and you can't touch your knees or your hands or your face ha ha to the gound! Three of us played no one else would but it was so much fun and I got a free drink out of the deal cause I didt loose!
We played jenga that has sayings like kiss an American, kiss an auzi sing a song or run naked to mcdonalds ha ha you always have two options on a block and if you chicken out you finish your pint! Ha ha it gets crazy!
And we pcouple other games that finished with me chugging a pint of beer vodka and wine! Mmmmmmm
the staff bet me fifty euros I would be the first to pass out, cause for some reason I'm always the drunkest ha ha!
But they lost it was me lizz, Milan and Jo the bouncer still in the bar when in closed and I was soo drunk Jo took me up to my room and I conviced him to let me come back down ha ha lizz was like omg ok ha ha you one the bet!
I was the first one up down in the lobby rockin my st patties green and my pj's and for some reason miss matched socks ha ha peoe were laughing when they came down all showered at noon talking about there hang overs lol!
I showered around 1:00 and then went to see the catacomes! It was trippy you walk way down under ground and walk to tunnel and the you see just walls of bones and skulls it's unreal the way they built that soooo long ago!
It was about fourth five minutes of walking under ground and it was wierd because when I went out the exit i was a couple city blogs over? It was a trip!
Then my hang over hit so I went to the store and got a bagguete and some ham and a gallon of water and ate on the street.. Then realized there was a nice block just the other direction ha ha so I didn't have to feel like a begger sitting there with my € 1,80 meal
I laid in the park I found and about 3 min later this guy comes up and freaks out and spoke no English and basically he got the point across that I can't sleep in public.. What ever it's not like I'm busting out a sleeping bag and laying next to a shopping cart! Come on!
So I left went to the eifel tower by metro and walked the river to notra dame and headed back to the hostel around seven!
Had another rediculous out if control night!
The rose guy that's what I call him now ha ha he comes in every night and tries to sell roses lol and Im always drunk And start talking to him or usaully just say no roses no no no!
I kept offering him some beer and he says no but for you... And handed me a rose ha ha I was soo stoaked I guess after six days I've kinda rubbed off on the rose guy ha ha :)
I tried to give the rose to chopper and he put me a head lock and pretty my kicked my ass out front lol so I put the stem on his tip bucket! Fair enough right!
It was a late night a group of us went to a bar down the street till five a.m!
It was chopper, Milan, lizz, me, and Christina! Oh yea and two girls from finnland! And then this new group of auzie that showed up came down to the bar!
There super cool Harrison, mitch, calven, and a really shy kid.. Ha ha ?name?
The next day I was an hour late checking out ha ha but namo was cool with it! She's really cool every morning she just make a coffee and orange juice cause she knows I'm gettin one ha ha!
I spent a lot of the day walking around with fish the robot dancer looking for a hostel or hotel that wasn't all booked out!
But it worked out amazingly because the staff kicks ass they gave me a pad and let me sleep on the floor! I was in a small room with three other girls the same girls we drank with down by the river!
Christina, lizz, and aniela!
There cool girls! I like Christina she's super cool and we hit it off!
Shes the only girl that played the coaster game! Maybe that's why ha ha!
And this other girl jeniffer couldn't do it ha ha so she had to by us all a shot!
Felt kinda bad cause she was out in the first round..
Ok ok back on track ... Last night!
Was out of control the auzies got me in on a jug which is four liters of boos at 4:30
Im thinkin for real two pints before five o clock hits!
In a nut shell the night was crazy, we started dancing which hasn't happens yet! We got the Asian drunk which for sure hasn't happened yet lol! It was halarious! I challed one to a chugging contest then every one stated chanting lol
she was drunk right after that! Ha ha and had a flight back at japan at 3 am!
These four kids from Egypt came in and at first I was all there friend ha ha that's the new joke when people check in Milan says oh and over is Zack he will be your new best friend ha ha they figure it out that night but it always starts with a strange look!
Staying at a hostel for a while is the way to go but then it's makes it harder to move citys...
Anyways theses Egypt kids were swarming christing asing me if they could dance with her and I said yea man like it's up to her she said no and they got mad went oround the bar prowling for girls being just stupid! Then I was play jenga and one pick pocketed Me and I turned around and he had my wallet my fake wallet tho :)
And I freaked out yelled at him he said I dropped it, I said bull shit bro don't even! So he stood up and I said really...
then the kid pushed me into Jo lol the big as security guy that I get along real good with and the next thing I knew the kids were gone! :) ha ha this hostel is just out there!
I'm tying to help jo with his English so we always talk about random stuff he's cool!
Any ways the next morning I felt bad for the auzies.. Harrison lost his camera which I think those shady ass kids took And Mitch came in with a black eye and a patch on for head! Lol I should laugh but I did ha ha he got five stiches!
They left today to the French alps! Then were meeting up agian for sure! Auzies party hard!
I kept starting the auzie auzie auzie chant ha ha and they were pefect sequence ay ay ay!
So I just spent half my day updating this blog in the park ha ha jk and now in going to Jim morrisons gave! Why not right?
And I don't have a room tonight either so maybe all stay for free agian :)
Or I have Sleeping bag I've been waiting to use! :)
I need a homless friend! Ha ha
It will work it's self out, it always does!
I learned that in big citys not to look for a hostel at five thirty on a Friday! :)
I miss you guys and hope life is good!
We decked out the hostel with streamer ballons you know all the good stuff like that! Chopper and Milan were giving a table of us free shots to blow up balloons! :) shit all blow up ballons all night ha ha! Gotta save money! I fill up the ice bucket for free drinks sooo why not!
We played The coaster game lol! Let me explain the coaster game it's real easy!
You start with a stack of coasters about 4 inches high and you bend the top one in a 90 degree angle so half of it sticks up, so to grab this coaster you have to use your mouth and you can't touch your knees or your hands or your face ha ha to the gound! Three of us played no one else would but it was so much fun and I got a free drink out of the deal cause I didt loose!
We played jenga that has sayings like kiss an American, kiss an auzi sing a song or run naked to mcdonalds ha ha you always have two options on a block and if you chicken out you finish your pint! Ha ha it gets crazy!
And we pcouple other games that finished with me chugging a pint of beer vodka and wine! Mmmmmmm
the staff bet me fifty euros I would be the first to pass out, cause for some reason I'm always the drunkest ha ha!
But they lost it was me lizz, Milan and Jo the bouncer still in the bar when in closed and I was soo drunk Jo took me up to my room and I conviced him to let me come back down ha ha lizz was like omg ok ha ha you one the bet!
I was the first one up down in the lobby rockin my st patties green and my pj's and for some reason miss matched socks ha ha peoe were laughing when they came down all showered at noon talking about there hang overs lol!
I showered around 1:00 and then went to see the catacomes! It was trippy you walk way down under ground and walk to tunnel and the you see just walls of bones and skulls it's unreal the way they built that soooo long ago!
It was about fourth five minutes of walking under ground and it was wierd because when I went out the exit i was a couple city blogs over? It was a trip!
Then my hang over hit so I went to the store and got a bagguete and some ham and a gallon of water and ate on the street.. Then realized there was a nice block just the other direction ha ha so I didn't have to feel like a begger sitting there with my € 1,80 meal
I laid in the park I found and about 3 min later this guy comes up and freaks out and spoke no English and basically he got the point across that I can't sleep in public.. What ever it's not like I'm busting out a sleeping bag and laying next to a shopping cart! Come on!
So I left went to the eifel tower by metro and walked the river to notra dame and headed back to the hostel around seven!
Had another rediculous out if control night!

Paris! Paris! And more Paris!!!
Yeserday was an awsome Brian, Alex, Ryan and I all walked around and saw a bunch of the never ending amazing sights of Paris!! We had two picnics thru out the day which were sooo good and saved a lot of money!
we had bread, some nice salami, and some chees that i've never seen or heard of in my life! And of course a bottle of wine to wash it all down! We walked through a very nice park which I'm at now to type this blog :)
It Over looks the city and it's just peacefull I love it!
a little later we went and check out the Lue! Omg that was amazing it's a huge area and the building is just stunning and it has a never ending garden! We sat around a water pond and just chatted for a while! I get caught up in just starring out at the eifel tower and the lue! It's hard to explain ha ha I pretty loose my trane if thought..
I hope Alex gets to see that before she leaves, cause she had to go meet freinds before we got to the Lue.
That night was bad but awesome! I had been doing really good about controlling my alcohol but.... Let's just say I kinda slipped up and talked to many people the next morning that I thought I'd never met in my life and they told me we had full on conversations...
In the hour after I woke up I wish I had a dollor for every time people asked me if I was ok :)
Uhhh yea i'm fine and who are you?
Then I found out the next night from Ryan that I was walking around the staff area of mcdonalds which I don't remember going to.. I didn't believe but but the pictures he took told me other wise... Lol
Aparenty I had my credit card out on the table and was booking a flight to prauge because Chad and Oliver headed the today and I was all in!! HA ha
They said I could type so he asked me in the morning of I was still going to prauge and I said yea man for sure maybe by like the end of April I hope to be out that wAy..
Any wAys you get the point it was a little over board
but I was up at 9:30 drinking my coffee and trying to figure out what happened! I've met soooo many cool people at this hostel I love the peace and live hostel ha ha :)
The bar staff hooks me up here And there and I just keep bookin nights ha ha!
Any ways the next day was really mellow ha ha really mellow... The big event was going to do laundrey with Chad which was cool because the only that was clean was my slacks that are four sizes to big and my under armor.. So that's what I headed out to do laundrey in :)
It was a painfully day but I did pretty well through it!
I pulled out five hundred euros and turned around and grabed the water Chad bought me and said Lets go! I started walking away and Chad was like dude are you serious! I was like what?
he said you better get you cash! Lol
Wow thanks man! Yea I should probably grab that... :)
he told every one at the hostel that one!
The next night I said those famous last words "I'm never drinking agian"
I brought down the juggeljng sticks and was trying to teach everyone to juggle Ha ha that was fun
And ten minutes later clair this really cool girl that works atthe hostel said here try this it will make you feel better!
So I did... Mmmmmmm what is that?
it's a happy beer! Amstel with vodka and lemon juice...
What?
No I don't think that's a good idea. But I mDe it for you!
Ok I wasn't gonna drink tonight but yea pour a little vodka in my beer! :) ha ha what ever!
But I didn't get drunk! Trust me!! I went down by the river with these girls from new York that are studying in Florence! And three buddies Joe, chuks, and this kid that Linda freaks every one out but he's actually really cool!
He rights some crazy poetry and is going to right a poam about juggeljng! Then he started telling menthat he's bi sexual and I told him I don't want the poam ha ha jk!
But I just said ok I'm straight but I respect your views! Every one stArted laughing Nd he got kinda bummed out... Random I know...
But I was talking with this girl and she is soo cool she totally has her own style and is cool to talk to! Chucks was hittin it of with Liz and Joe and the other girl stared kissing lol!
Six people three conversations!
We were the only two not really drinking and the others got pretty drunk matter a fact the one girl kissing Joe started puking and Liz started walking her back untill she got swarmed by about four dudes preying on this girl so we all walked up!
Ha ha chuks drunk ass started saying things and I tried my best to keep people walking...
Not exactly a good place to start running your mouth...
We got back to the hostel and drank another beer with Oliver Clair Chad and chopper the other bar tender and when we went out front we watched a fight break out in the street! Ha ha I started video tAping it! :) I caught the end!
by that time the bar was closing up at 2 am!
I went to grab a bight to eat with the poetry kid (dam I gotta get better at remembering names)
Any way these to black kids walk up ask me for a ciggerette and I said no man I don't smoke!
he said aww no big x
Deal gave me a hand shake and said check this out next thing I know there's two tiny little prices of hash and I said now thanks man and he started demanding ten euros so I said no man here you go and he wouldn't take it...
The kid i was with spoke french and you could tell they were argueing...
Then I set the hash on the railing And a piece fell... Wow really?
The kid got mouthy and spit on my shoe... Ewww...
And that's when I thought I might die.. He basically said now you owe me fur sure and I said ok man nonpriblen but my moneys back at the hostel..
They fallowed close behind and I wispered in choppers ear get my back!
chopper big and got the idea he came and asked me what happened and then went back out and told them to get lost!
Choppers cool people! So I walked up to my room and was thankful I didn't get farther away from the hostel!
This morning was nice I'm in the park made breakfast for me and the girl working cause she always hooks me up! She loved my egg ham and cheese crosant ha ha!
I hung out with chuks untill he has to go catch his train!
then I was talking to the cool guy that's been around the hostel and ge makes 115€ a day doing the robot in his shiny suite!
Hensaid I could easliy make 50 € in a couple hours with juggeljng!
Hell yea I might have to try that today! Honestly all let you know how it goes if I do it!
Even if I made 20€ I'm having fun and getting better for the next city! Ha ha
So I'm gonna walk back and post this and go learn something and see kore of this Amzing city!

Wrapped things up in köln and hit Paris yesterday!!!
ok were did I leave off at! Hmmm it was Friday about 1 pm my time!
I ended up going out for a walk with Patricia! I brought my juggeling sticks because I was already playin with them out front and thought that they'd be nice for the walk!
I wanted to go check out a sculpture park that someone had told me about so I headed that way! It was very random ha ha but pretty cool! I took pics so you'll have wait and see what was inside! :)
Patricia sat an drew one of the sculptures and I just put in my head phones and did more jugelling :) it was the first day since i've been travelling sicne I've walked around with them so I was livin it!!
Afte we left the sculpture park we felt like have a beer and just getting off our feet, so we found this little bar and went in and wow it was random! It took me a minute to figure out if the bar tender was a man, woman, or transvestite.. I feel bad saying that because it turned out that she was really cool!
I set my juggeling sticks up on the bar and she kept looking at them along with other people, that I think were probably regulers or friends of hers. But any ways this guy came up and asked what they were so i showed him the basic idea and every one was watching! The bar tender refilled our drinks and I said oh no thank you im alright with on and she said just keep flipping those sticks and the drink are on me!
I smiled and was like wow danke shune!
So now I had to do a little show ha ha!
Patricia was laughing and thought I was nuts but was stoaked on the free drinks!
Every one was very cool and one guy actually tried the sticks! It was just a good time!
So now I'm gonna go out in the streets and put a cup down ha ha!
We headed back to the hostel to get ready for goin out! This was gonna be my last night in köln so I wanted to have a good last night!!
I met this kid when I went to my room, he was from brazil and his name was Cicero. He was cool and invited him self out with Patricia and I when I told him my plans for the night.
So I was like yea man you can join for sure! He was a little confusing at times but an all around good guy!
Any ways we went out and got some beers and started walking towards barbossa platz which is where all the dance clubs and music bars are! I was excited cause I really hadn't gone out and danced the night away in koln, besides hot chip of course!
On the way to barbossa platz pratricia saw a Irish pub she wanted to go into! I was game why not right! I miss irealand, I'm in! We got a piture of beer and it was really good! We sat on the sofas In the back and Hung out for about an hour!
It was 12€ between three of us so that was bad especially because Cicero gave me six euros and said I was and idiot for saying he's paying to much so I smiled and said oh yea stupid me! :) thAnks!
about ten minutes later we made to the place we were headed!! Walked in the most lively bar and started dancin!
Cicero stood there and watched partricia and I dance for about 2 hours ha ha! Then we headed out!
We went to a tram station to get back we met a cool kid from morroco! I would limeto go to morocco but I think that might be next trip!
The tram was 22 min from the station and I wasn't up for the wait, I'd much rather walk any ways!
Cicero didn't want to walk so patricia and I headed back!
We ended up going to the other side of the river and sat right by the water of the rhine river! The same place I sat before! The city at night is just amazing but after about an hour the cold got to us.. So we headed back and tried to find coffee at 3:30 in the morning and it jus wasn't happening... Probably a good thing cause I was planning on Leaving the city! I made it to bed around four am and for some reason woke up at 8! Idk now why but i was up and I wasn't fallen back asleep so I made some breakfast eggs bacon and toast! Cheap and easy and right when I was done cooking Patricia came up and I had enough for the both of us so we had some breakfast and this cool guy that's been at the hostel made us coffee! It hit the spot!
Then Cicero came walking into the kitchen and asked for the rest of my coffee? I was ok... Sure man all just grab some water! Ha ha he was interesting! Then he begged me to go to Amsterdam for about an hour and I said sorry man like I'm gonna be there for a while at the end of this month! I meetin a buddy! Which is true!
After that finally came to an end I had to get out and get some fresh air so we all went walking! Saw the same stuff at half the pase... Ha ha Patricia and Cicero walk sooooo slow!
Cicero had to his train so we wet back to the hostel and he grabbed his stuff and I was ok man well have good travels and it was good meetin you! And he was like don't you want to cometo the station with me and have like an old fashion good bye? Ummmmm?? WTF is and old fashion good bye?
Any ways Patricia and I went with him and we were like ok so so want grab a beer?
He said no there's no time for that. Ok we have twentie minutes man and were at the station! What were you thinkin?
Lol we ended up just sitting next to the track and waiting for his train.... He started playing his guitar and singing while I just stared at the clock!
the train showed up early :) ha ha and then I guess we had our old fashion good bye... Really I was confused!
Like do want mr to hold your hand I already carried you guitar here!
Like I've said before he was cool but quite interesting..
So Patricia and I headed back to the hostel had a beer and went through a bunch of pictures which is always fun!
And had some dinner around five thirty! Ha ha we cooked fish stick, motzerella sticks, and ravioli! Perfect!
Patricia had to go back to hamburg... She was a cool girl and I might just meet up with her agian! Idk
So I walked back... Now all my friends are gone.. Ha ha
but I got an email from vero and ended up going out with her! She was the girl from the hot chip concert!
I'm thinking wow I like this city but am I really still here... Ha ha I got here the 8th..
What ever I promised my self last night was the last night!!!
I met up with vero after emailing back and fourth Nd tryingto figure out our plans because meeting at the cathedral didn't work...
Anyways we met up had a beer pretty much just walked around... And then in circles! She's pretty indisisive... But she fun to be around still!
I got hungry and we sadly ended up at mcdonalds.. But it was cool cause we saw four of her friends there and we talked for a while! For some reasonthey thought it was cool i was American! And they had a million questions ha ha so we were laughing and havin a good time untill some guy with a fo hawk came up and point at me and was like
You shut the f*** up you fuck with me I f+++ you up!
so I asked him were he was from.. You know just to lighten things up a bit..
Ha ha he said it don't f+++ing matter where I'm from I f+++ you in your ass..
I just said hmmmm that's interesting ok man!
He was clearly hammered! Then he starts talking to the girls and telling them to shut up lol I just sat there and looked at him like wow you are so cool!
I wanted to get to know him better but he wouldn't give me his email lol!
So we left! And by that time vero had to be home and the other girls were off to a bed so I had no problem with calling I a night! My plan was to catch a train brussels early then go to Luxemburg then Paris! I'd be in four countries in one day ha ha!
But I slept in but rememberd the promise I made to my self! Ha ha and pAcked my stuff and went to the train station around 11:00!
Now I'm on a train to Paris and Ive already expierenced the great snobby attitude of the rudest person ive encountered on my trip!
He is to say it the nicest way I possibly can a beep beep beep beep beep beeep beeep beep beeeeeeeeeep of a guy!
because I didn't rig the day on my train pass he charged me 115€ for this stupid ass trAin and kept telling me I'm a big boy I should have read the policy and should follow the rules!
I told him the lady on the last train ride wrothe the date in for me! So it was a big debate back and forth he took my pass some where came back with another french ass whole and then it was no worth fighting it! People around me were sticking up for me in english and in french and he threatens to take there tickets!
So I asked him to read me the policy and do his job becauseq this train clearly has a differen policy!
So he said that's not my job, and I said well then I have some questions that need to be answered!
He anwered about two questions the said stop it young man stop while your ahead..
So I punched him in the face and asked him another question! Ha ha I wish!
I really just told him I can't believe how rude you are! nd that this is all Over filling in a blank!
And it ended at him asking for 115€ or keeping my pass!
What ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ughhh I'm getting mad writing about it!!
But what eer life goes on.. The people around me all were like I'm really sorry..
All I could say is it's no your falt!
I have a hand written pies of paper that cost me about 150 maybe 160 us dollars...
I hope Paris is nice and worth the tree days I have booked!
I'm almost to Paris I think? And Im gonna find my hostel and publish this post!!
I miss you guys and if I don't Start following the rules ha ha all be home by next weekend! Money flies when you space filling in a date on a $620 trAin pass..
I don hate anyone but I really really dislike that guy!
And I was hoping to update when I got to Paris but the Internet was three euros... So shit I'm way behind now!
but let me tell you about my first day and night in Paris!
When I got off the train it was a little nuts...
I felt like I was in prison going thru the train train station! You had to pay to get onto the streets and had to use that tickets that cost 1,60€ to go any were in it ha ha it was wierd!
But I mosies my way And the street and that was almost more nuts ha ha!
It's always crazy when I first get to a new city but I know that in a day or so it will all be different!
So ibwas looking at the street names, and walked a little bit And then finnally just looked my lonley planet book. I felt like I was doing a word search looking for this dam road I was on!
Couldnt find it.. So I was debating a taxi? The subway system is pretty nuts so idk about that..
this game up to me and say were you go! so I said I'm looking for the peace and love hostel and pointed in my book where It was! In his own french way he said he would help me, and he was kinda of an older I guess creeper status type of dude but I had to see what he could do for me! He spoke seriously no English I asked him how long he has lied in Paris for and he couldn't understand no matter how I put it! Sonim flipping through my little phrase book looking to see I that's in there lol! Just shook my head and said no. Long story short he buys me a tram ticket and I'm kinda like what's going on ha ha but I rode the tram with him and j kept making him show me where we were going we only went three stops and we got off a juares.. Not the stop I was told once before...
But then ha ha there it was the peace and love hostel!
He walked over with me and I checked in and the lady at the counter kind of translated for us! She thought he was weird and was giving mr looks like ummm where did you find him?
He ask the lady to ask if I would like to go to dinner and he would pay!
That was a nice offer but I was "tired" ha ha and didn't feel like going to dinner with a guy that I couldn't communicate with at all..
When he left he gave me his number and the lady asked me If I was ok lol!
She stated talkin to me I had a beer, met people right off the bat! I think I'm gonna like this hostel!
There was a cute girl standing down the bar and she game up asked me where I was from! :) and I was like game on ha ha just kiddin!
We talked for about an hour then planned to go walked around the city!
when we were leaving I saw Bryan a kid from Boston I met and he tagged along!
Wow we walked about 12 or 13 miles ha ha !
I've seen half of Paris my first night! :)
We saw a lot I don't even now the names of it all but you might be familat with the eifel tower that was amazing at night!!! And notra dame, and just Paris!! :)
It was an awsome first night!
When we got back we playe ld a couple drinking games with the cool ass bar tender and this really drunk girl ha ha!
It was umrella UNO! My first time playing it but I liked it!
I went to bed about 2 this morning and used my ear plugs for the first time on my trip... There's twelve beds in here and four people were haveing a snoring competition! Omg!!!
so I slept good when I couldn't hear a thing!
Now it's morning, and a beautifle day in Paris and Im gonna make the best out if the day!
and hopefully update agian tomorrow!
This was a lot Ha ha but now were caught up!!!
Miss you guys!! Sooooo much!!
Hope all is well for everyone!!
I ended up going out for a walk with Patricia! I brought my juggeling sticks because I was already playin with them out front and thought that they'd be nice for the walk!
I wanted to go check out a sculpture park that someone had told me about so I headed that way! It was very random ha ha but pretty cool! I took pics so you'll have wait and see what was inside! :)
Patricia sat an drew one of the sculptures and I just put in my head phones and did more jugelling :) it was the first day since i've been travelling sicne I've walked around with them so I was livin it!!
Afte we left the sculpture park we felt like have a beer and just getting off our feet, so we found this little bar and went in and wow it was random! It took me a minute to figure out if the bar tender was a man, woman, or transvestite.. I feel bad saying that because it turned out that she was really cool!
I set my juggeling sticks up on the bar and she kept looking at them along with other people, that I think were probably regulers or friends of hers. But any ways this guy came up and asked what they were so i showed him the basic idea and every one was watching! The bar tender refilled our drinks and I said oh no thank you im alright with on and she said just keep flipping those sticks and the drink are on me!
I smiled and was like wow danke shune!
So now I had to do a little show ha ha!
Patricia was laughing and thought I was nuts but was stoaked on the free drinks!
Every one was very cool and one guy actually tried the sticks! It was just a good time!
So now I'm gonna go out in the streets and put a cup down ha ha!
We headed back to the hostel to get ready for goin out! This was gonna be my last night in köln so I wanted to have a good last night!!
I met this kid when I went to my room, he was from brazil and his name was Cicero. He was cool and invited him self out with Patricia and I when I told him my plans for the night.
So I was like yea man you can join for sure! He was a little confusing at times but an all around good guy!
Any ways we went out and got some beers and started walking towards barbossa platz which is where all the dance clubs and music bars are! I was excited cause I really hadn't gone out and danced the night away in koln, besides hot chip of course!
On the way to barbossa platz pratricia saw a Irish pub she wanted to go into! I was game why not right! I miss irealand, I'm in! We got a piture of beer and it was really good! We sat on the sofas In the back and Hung out for about an hour!
It was 12€ between three of us so that was bad especially because Cicero gave me six euros and said I was and idiot for saying he's paying to much so I smiled and said oh yea stupid me! :) thAnks!
about ten minutes later we made to the place we were headed!! Walked in the most lively bar and started dancin!
Cicero stood there and watched partricia and I dance for about 2 hours ha ha! Then we headed out!
We went to a tram station to get back we met a cool kid from morroco! I would limeto go to morocco but I think that might be next trip!
The tram was 22 min from the station and I wasn't up for the wait, I'd much rather walk any ways!
Cicero didn't want to walk so patricia and I headed back!
We ended up going to the other side of the river and sat right by the water of the rhine river! The same place I sat before! The city at night is just amazing but after about an hour the cold got to us.. So we headed back and tried to find coffee at 3:30 in the morning and it jus wasn't happening... Probably a good thing cause I was planning on Leaving the city! I made it to bed around four am and for some reason woke up at 8! Idk now why but i was up and I wasn't fallen back asleep so I made some breakfast eggs bacon and toast! Cheap and easy and right when I was done cooking Patricia came up and I had enough for the both of us so we had some breakfast and this cool guy that's been at the hostel made us coffee! It hit the spot!
Then Cicero came walking into the kitchen and asked for the rest of my coffee? I was ok... Sure man all just grab some water! Ha ha he was interesting! Then he begged me to go to Amsterdam for about an hour and I said sorry man like I'm gonna be there for a while at the end of this month! I meetin a buddy! Which is true!
After that finally came to an end I had to get out and get some fresh air so we all went walking! Saw the same stuff at half the pase... Ha ha Patricia and Cicero walk sooooo slow!
Cicero had to his train so we wet back to the hostel and he grabbed his stuff and I was ok man well have good travels and it was good meetin you! And he was like don't you want to cometo the station with me and have like an old fashion good bye? Ummmmm?? WTF is and old fashion good bye?
Any ways Patricia and I went with him and we were like ok so so want grab a beer?
He said no there's no time for that. Ok we have twentie minutes man and were at the station! What were you thinkin?
Lol we ended up just sitting next to the track and waiting for his train.... He started playing his guitar and singing while I just stared at the clock!
the train showed up early :) ha ha and then I guess we had our old fashion good bye... Really I was confused!
Like do want mr to hold your hand I already carried you guitar here!
Like I've said before he was cool but quite interesting..
So Patricia and I headed back to the hostel had a beer and went through a bunch of pictures which is always fun!
And had some dinner around five thirty! Ha ha we cooked fish stick, motzerella sticks, and ravioli! Perfect!
Patricia had to go back to hamburg... She was a cool girl and I might just meet up with her agian! Idk
So I walked back... Now all my friends are gone.. Ha ha
but I got an email from vero and ended up going out with her! She was the girl from the hot chip concert!
I'm thinking wow I like this city but am I really still here... Ha ha I got here the 8th..
What ever I promised my self last night was the last night!!!
I met up with vero after emailing back and fourth Nd tryingto figure out our plans because meeting at the cathedral didn't work...
Anyways we met up had a beer pretty much just walked around... And then in circles! She's pretty indisisive... But she fun to be around still!
I got hungry and we sadly ended up at mcdonalds.. But it was cool cause we saw four of her friends there and we talked for a while! For some reasonthey thought it was cool i was American! And they had a million questions ha ha so we were laughing and havin a good time untill some guy with a fo hawk came up and point at me and was like
You shut the f*** up you fuck with me I f+++ you up!
so I asked him were he was from.. You know just to lighten things up a bit..
Ha ha he said it don't f+++ing matter where I'm from I f+++ you in your ass..
I just said hmmmm that's interesting ok man!
He was clearly hammered! Then he starts talking to the girls and telling them to shut up lol I just sat there and looked at him like wow you are so cool!
I wanted to get to know him better but he wouldn't give me his email lol!
So we left! And by that time vero had to be home and the other girls were off to a bed so I had no problem with calling I a night! My plan was to catch a train brussels early then go to Luxemburg then Paris! I'd be in four countries in one day ha ha!

Just chillen in the city of köln!!
Well Wednesday was an amazing day!!
I walked for miles and miles and saw the city from every angle possible and took lots of cool pics! It was a really sunny day! They nicest in köln so far that's for sure!
After my walk I went back to the hostel around three ish and took a nap to get ready for the big night ahead of me! HOT CHIP!!!!
I woke up took a shower went and got a little somethin to spice up the night, and to refrain from spending 4€ on a beer!
Think fun and cheap!
I found the concert hall pretty easily and left the hostel two hours early just to make sure! The concert was sooooo kick ass! I love hot chip!! I had the best spot in the house and they played lots of there old songs! There new ones were good to! I got some cool video! And remember it all!
I caught the playlist they threw out to the croud but I lost it... I was real bummed and still am! But I was there and that's what really mAtters!
Ha ha I was the first one in and the last one out! Before going in I met a really cool couple, Dominik and erina!
Hung out with them and then kinda ditched em after the concert.. I felt bad but I walked back to the giant cathedral with a really cool girl I met! Her name was vero! She couldn't find the other girls she was with and had to be home and didn't want to make the walk alone..
So I said shy now that I think about I'm kind of scared to walk back alone to let's go together Ha ha!
We got On the wrong tram so we hopped off the next stop and I was laughing! Like shit don't you live here... Were going to the biggest standing building in the city which happens to be next to the main train station! Lol
We met this funny ass drunk guy that kept talking to menin German and didn't understand that I only spoke English.. Ha ha so I just started shaking my head smiling, and laughing a little when I thought was neccesarry and the next thing you know he's givin me hi fives like I just understood every word he said and agreed after his five minutes of rambeling in German lol it was pretty funny!
but we got to the cathedral and she ask me what I was gonna do? And I said idk I was gonna go back but do you wanna do somthin? And she said I wish I could but I have to be home... I'm already late..
Curfew? Ha ha I asked her how old she was and she said eleventh grade...
And I said yep I'm for sure going to bed... It was nice meeting you tho! Ha ha jk
But I did go back and she emailed me today! So shit I might be in koln for another day ha ha! Jk
I slept in a little bit this morning! Which was nice! And then I walked to the store And got some Lunch and later walked to the other side of the rhine river and just sat there looking out at an amazing city and thinking about all it's crazy history! It was cool!
I sat there for probably An hour and a half just taking in all in!
I went back to the hostel and didn't do much... I hung out with these Romanian kids that are pretty cool but there not exactly my group..
I got a chance to skpye my momma which always makes my day!
Right after I got done skyping I met this really cool black guy from Paris, his name was abdeul! I got his email and I'm gonna meet him when I'm in paris and he said he'd show me everything! Which is cool when your in an overwhelmingly big city! I talked to abdeul for about a half hour and then,
I went up stairs to the lobby and met two kids from the uk! There names were Paul and Jude. They were cool kids,
There was another girl sitting at another table alone.. And I started some small talk with her and the. Went back to watching the soccer game which I've seen quite a few of now! When It got to be about mid night the kids from the uk went off to bed and that left me a Patricia the girl sitting there by her self. So she ended up offering me a beer which was really cool and random cause I offered the boys from the um and her a beer ealrier and they all said they were ok..
anyways Im sure you can guess what I said to her offer!
He'll no save your money!! Ha ha no
Of course I had a beer with her and we ended up chatting till dam near tree in the morning! It was cool Shes a really smart athletic girl and easy to tAlk to!
I think she talked me into staying another night, which I wasn't to sure about... But I think ot will be fun cause were gonna go out dancing And a he'll of a night! I hope!!
I have been out partying in koln, besides hot chip!
So no biggy I booked one more night, after the lady at reception came and woke me up! Ha ha
Check out time!!
I'm amazed I slept thAt long! This hostel is cool but it's hard to sleep when you here every anouncment from the mAin train station....
I think 17€ is a bit pricey for a nights stay here but it's not horrible either...
So now it's about 1pm on Friday and I'm gonna go see if there's something in this city I havnt seen yet! And I'm for sure leaving tomorrow!
Its 4:00 am back home so sleep tight, and if you wake up and read this have a good day!!
The pure bean opens in two hours! Ha ha mmmmmmm I could really go for some purple bean coffee!
mainly all the coffee here is made with the press of a button.... I'm not a fan...
I hope the purple bean never ever gets a machine that makes our lattes, cApps, or anything for that matter!
still havnt been to starbucks, tho at times been tempted cause I'm missen my soy..
Peace, love, and harmony!!! (I like that saying)
:)

A cool day starting with A hike to the top! That all never forget!
Yeserday was a chill day in the city of koln! Andrew the kid I met from austraila hung out and started our journey by hiking up almost 600 step to the top of the giant cathedral I was talkin about! Omg!! It was amazing It something I will never forget! At the top of course the view was unreal!! And just to thing about 65 years ago the city was just about destroyed but the builing I was in managed to stay standing!
if anyone is board google koln in 1945!
It was the best 2,50€ I have spent ha ha!
Don't worry I took tons of pics and I won't delete them this time!
After that we just kelt walkin with are jello legs ha ha! I'm in shape but it was a pretty good climb ha ha :)
we started to get hungry so we were in search of food, when all if a sudden... Ha ha
Some pretty serious lookin dude stopped Andrew and i...
Started rambeling in German!
Spreche mien deutch!
Ha ha then he switched it to English basically he wanted help loading this trailer with some cabinets and things aout of this building..
I was like yea man we have ten min the. We got to be somewhere..
Andrew gave a look like FOR REAL?
ha Ha this guy ended up taking us into this builing and up an elevator to this floor with nothing exept for locked storage plAces...
Im not gonna lie my mind kinda started trippen!
Like what's he gonna do? Why is he so intence? Why do those cages all lock? What's it gonna be like when we get locked in there? Do I get cell service? At least I'm not alone ha ha!
We moved the three giant cabinets and stuffed them in the elevated one at a time! This guy just kept goin move move get it get it, pick it up, you got it, ok ok moe move! Like this was a race that's why I started gettin weirded out!
I had to run Down to the bottom to get it out!
But wait can I leave Andrew alone with this guy ha ha?
Yea he's a big boy!
The guy told us you move these cabinets 10€ for you!
After we got these dirty ass metal cabinets moved and our hands were black and my fresh out o the dryer close were covered us in dirt.... He did hand us ten euros!
Lol Andrews like do you always do shit like that?
I was like what do you mean? Like what?
He's like that guy was crazy and he was with four older guys and one was wearing a pimp jacket ha hA!
I just hey 10€ thAt's beer and lunch so it worked right!
Go with it and take it as it comes!
So we ate some chinease food and had a sprite! It was a little early for a beer!
Then we hung around around the hostel for a while!
When it got later we went and grabbed a couple beers and did a night time stroll! The town is pretty mellow but there's gotta be more places to Dane and go out! And I'm gonna find them tonight! Because hot chip is tonight and it's gonna be a good good good night!!!
Andrew caught a train to Denmark last night!
So I gotta make a new buddy with should be reall easy tonight!
Today I'm gonna go find live music hall and check out more of the city so I can find the concert and hopefully get back!
Im makin more memories and pics everyday!
And I can't wait to share them all!

Bye bye hamburg, a quick stop in breman, and hello koln!!!
Yesterday was a mellow day I hung out with Marcos untill his taxi showed up at the hostel. He was moving to his room he found to start his studies in hamburg!
I was at the reception desk and he yelled "ok Zack I'm leaving"
I was like Ok peace out bro it was nice meeting you!
Then he's like arnt you coming?
coming were?
He was like with me.... All drop you off at the main station if you want!
I was like ok.... I can walk but sure man thanks!
So I get in back so he can sit in front of the taxi he's paying for! And he tells me to scoot over and sits next to me...
WTF Im confused.... Then we start drivin away from the main hbf (train station) so I was like hello were is this cab headed!
The cab driver laughed and said not by the main station...
So at the next red light I jump out and said peace!
So my walk to the main station was now doubled but what ever lol!
Sk that's the last I saw Marcos and ever will see Marcos ha ha!
I walked to the main station ate some ham and crackers from the store and ate in subway and got yelled at so I finished my meal at the bus station!
I saw this guy with no arms and he has a bucket in his mouth and he just stood there and shook the change around with his head! He was gettin people to drop change tho! That ass hole didn't even say thank you ha ha jk that's bad..
i wanted to go see the harbor but was pretty dam foggy and I figured I wouldn't see anything and the ticket machine for the tram refused to take my cash soo I gues it was a sighn!
I went back to the hostel and relaxed and pretty much called it an early night so I could get an early start and get the he'll out of hamburg ha ha!
I liked hamburg but three days was enough or maybe more than enough!
I can't compare these citys to Berlin or else all find my self dissapointed alot... Ha ha I fell in love with Berlin!
The people were amazing
Any ways I got to the train station at about nine this morning sent off some things, then went to get a latte!
Ha ha I kinda had a sweet tooth and was trying to get some whip cream on my latte... I litterally couldn't get my point across... I pointed At pictures with it, I did every hand motion whip cream could be! And after all that I got my latte stirred ha ha what ever I think they were messing with me!
I was shaking and imaginary can of whip cream tilted my head back and sparyed it in my mouth and you just stirred my coffee..... Really?
So I drank my Susan tempature latte at 130 for those of you who don't know how Susan likes her coffee ha ha!
Susan I hope everything is good for you! :)
so now Im on a train to breman! I don't know why? Or what breman has to offer but it's a pretty short trip so all probably catch another train to koln or stuggart to visit Eva and gerhard! I hope gerhard is doin ok!
Carrol I your reading my blogs Im gonna make it down there soon I hope! And once agian thanks for everything!!
So all updated when I get to breman! Now I'm looking ou a train window at snow covered hills and valleys of Germany!!
Wow when I got off at the breman hbf I was thinkin why on earth did I come here? Then I thought well I really didn't know in the first place so I'm here let's go check out this random ass town ha ha!
I went to the information center and was suprised they even had one.. But the lady told me to walk fifteen min to city center which was abot 15 min! Ok sounds good my next train is in 2 and a half hours why not!
City center was soooo cool! I loved it there was a small square with really old building and really nice statues one was of a donkey a dog a cat and a rooster stacked on top of each other! Ha ha there's a cool story behind it, that these really sweet girls told me! They wanted me to stay in breman and now I'm thinkin I should have stayed bu I really want to see hot chip! Which is a gamble and I don't know if it's gonna happen.. But I'm gonna try that's for sure!
After I walked through city center I made my way back to the train station! The schedule made no sence so I had to ask the service point people and Now I hope to catch a train at 14:44 to koln!!
As you can tell I'm updAting as I ho on this blog cause there's plenty of down time!
So more to come when I make it to koln!
The train ride to koln was really nice! I passes through many cool meadows and small towns!
When I got koln I new right off the bat it had a bunch of cool stuff to see!!
The center church cathedral is probably one of the most amazing things I've seen!! Really it's something else!!
All send a postcard you'll see!
So after my neck started hurting from starring up at this cathedral, I started walking towards the hostel I just found in my lonley planet book! It wasn't far from the stain station at all and also very close to the giant cathedral!
I found the hostel very easily and walked in and checked in for two nights!
The lady workin was really cool and we got to talkin and she helped me find out more about the hot chip concert I'm dying to see!
She told me there on the 10th and not the 9th but that's fine with me I like koln alot better than hamburg any ways!
So she told me were I could get tickets and i was like what he'll yea!! I thought they were sold out...
So any ways I literally walked down the street and went into this little tourist service office place, went down stairs and payed 23,80€ for a hot chip ticket!!!!!!!!!!
Wooooo hooooooo!!!
Ha ha I'm so stoaked!! I thought I'd be standing out side looking for scalpers... Paying to much...
Nope now I'm gettin there early with my printed out legit ticket and gonna have an amazing night! And then hopefully find the hostel agian :)
I came back to the hostel and met a guy name Andrew from austraila and we got to talkin and he's kinda doin the samething I'm doin! We headed out and tryed to find this bridge he wanted to find and ended up just cuttin the walk short had a drink and went back!
Koln is sooooo pretty at night! Wow! And wow agian!
When I got back I just showered and went to bed!!
This morning I woke up and did some luandry which was perfect cause I'm sitting here in slacks that I havnt worn once and my last wife beater that was clean ha ha!
Its co cause the Internet free so I'm just catching up on things!
And Now I'm gonna go check out the laundry room see how my close are doin then go check out the city!!
There is soo much to see!!
I'm going to the top of that giant cathedral today!! It ougt to be pretty EPIC!
that's All for now!
:)
I was at the reception desk and he yelled "ok Zack I'm leaving"
I was like Ok peace out bro it was nice meeting you!
Then he's like arnt you coming?
coming were?
He was like with me.... All drop you off at the main station if you want!
I was like ok.... I can walk but sure man thanks!
So I get in back so he can sit in front of the taxi he's paying for! And he tells me to scoot over and sits next to me...
WTF Im confused.... Then we start drivin away from the main hbf (train station) so I was like hello were is this cab headed!
The cab driver laughed and said not by the main station...

Wow! What a crazy 24 hours in hamburg!
Wow!!!!
Marcos went a little over the top! So did I, but come on I kinda know when enoughs enough .. I'm pretty sure I do ha ha
Anyways Marcos and I met in the lobby and I was talkin to a kid from brazil that's lied in the Netherlands for a year now, he was way chill so Im gonna hit him up when I get to Amsterdam!
Any wAys the night started out pretty slow Marcos and I walked around then went to the train station and I got two necks and Marcos broke down and got one!
The train station is very close to the ritzy shopping district so there wasn't gonna be much going on there except for rich people shopping...
I don't know hamburg at all and niether does Marcos who's been here for a week ha ha.
so I said let's go to st pauli, I kow how to get there! Maris asked menif I was sure? Uhh yep pretty sure it will be better than here!
I think Marcos was buzzing after his 16oz becks and I started to worry a little bit when he asked me if I was gonna drink both of mine? Like I was crazy or somethin... Ha ha not like he wanted it...
We took the tram to shlump the stop we had to change trains, and the was so yelling and screaming!
It sounded like a fight.. We walked around the corner and there five emo kids... Ewwww I'm sorry but I don't like emo kids.. Life is to good to sit around and hate it!
Anyways there was 2 guys and 3 girls in the emo group and they were talkin shit to these three pretty I'd say high school girls... I'd say they were all in high school.
Obviously I can't understand what there saying! But all of a sudden the pretty girl slapped the and emo girl and shit broke loose one o the emo guys tried to push her onto the tracks of the subway but luckily her freind could stop her from falling down there then the other emo boy grabs the girl and puts in a head lock and wrestles her around and her beer shattered!
I couldn't watch any more after that!
I ran up and went to grab the kid but his friend said something and he let go!
I started yelling at him saying I don't care how this started and what thus is over but guys do not hit girls and put them in head locks! that's not Fu$&ing cool man not at all!!
I didn't how these kids with clown make up and chains on would react but it was worth finding out! These girls would have gotten hurt as one of them was already bleeding...
The kid just looked at me and said English English...
I said yea I speak English man but you know what the Fu$! I'm trying to say!
He spoke good English and said that girl he put in a head lock slapped his girl and blah blah blah
I was really cool about everything and just said hey you don't touch girls I don't care what the situation is! Your girl needs to handle that or you need to take your girl away from the situation! He said sorry man were really sorry.. I said don't tell me sorry tell these girls sorry I'm not bleeding and holding my lip!
These kids were pretty small the biggest one was a foot shorter than me so i didn't get turned on ha ha and there was a guy taller than me that came up and said thank you!
then I was apart of a German polie investigation ha ha shit...
The funny thing was not one of the first five police could talk to me in English so the got a translater and 6 more cops lol they do mess around in Germany!
Mind you Marcus is just down the way on a bench watching all this ha ha what ever!
the lady that spoke English asked me why I made my self apart ofthe situation And I said because I think any body that didn't step into this situation is a sad person! A guy trying to push a girl into subway tracks then put her into a head lock and rough her up!
I can't watch that and feel ok with that!
She said well I hope that's what really happend and I said I don't know how there stories gonna play out bit I didn't hit anyone I simply stood in the guys face and told him that what he did is not ok! Flat out!
She said who threw the beer? I said it dropped when that poor girl was getting man handled! She asked me if I was drinking? Uhhh yea... What kind of question is that ha ha :)
Long story short I filled out a small report and went on my way!
Marcos just kept telling me I'm nuts and I just said the same to him! I think your nuts for sitting there!
he said bu the were my size lol what ever somethings you just gotta stand up for!
These kids were .... Just creepy lookin!
That was real interesting tho And burned about an hour of the night!
The rest of the night got just more crazy! Marcos and walked around st pauli and this guy stops us and says come in friends to see a greAt show and for free! I said ok what's the catch he said no catch but drinks are seven euros!
That was. Big no thank you! I just bought a bottle of wine for 2,40 euro!
Marcos said come on all buy your drink.. I said what? Marcos what hAppend to you ha ha! That's some good wine I guess!
What ever man Ive seen this scam in Tijuana ha ha!
Anyways we go in and the bar tender automatically gave us two small beers lol.. Like maybe 12 oz so I was about to get up and leave and this black guy next to me said you must pay for those! I said why I didn't order it! But I could tell it wasn't gonna be worth the debAte and Marcos payed any way..
Dont judge me on this pArt.. But then the slam gets better there's a topples girl dancing on stage right by the bar and she comes and sits next to me and then another sits next to marcos lol he was reaching for his coat!
But this girl gives me the twinkle eye ask me were I'm from and yadeee dah... Then here comes the oh Zack I really would like to have Drink with you, I was like ok so get one. She said no I want what your drinking, ok.... So get that...
she could tell I wasn't goin for it. I was lime what are you gonna by me? Oh I'll get you a shot of snops..
Yea that sounds great I spend another seven euros at this stupid ass bar and the get a shot of snops!
Zack don't you think I'm pretty, you can drink with a pretty girl..
Yea your gorgeous but Ive got this game figured out!
She said What game?
Ha ha so I just no thanks I'm good for now and says she will do a dance for her favorite juice which is orange juice..
Lol what!! This is just wacked!
I said how much is orange juice 6€ I'm sure
She said you must ask the bar tender.. Ha ha no I'm not den gonna look at that guy he'll hand be a tiny beer and charge me for it!
So she finally just said ok and walked away and then started dancing!
I grabbed my coat and peaced out! Marcos followed me out!
Now everbody we passed trying to get us to come in I just nien danke shu!
Or let me guess it's free to get in and you have to have an overpriced drink to stay... Then a girl is gonna wanna drink with me! NO
I wanted to get the he'll out of sex club scam centeral so we moved on to much better street were we met three kids about my age!
Laura, Alexa, and Nic
They were goin to a concert down the street and had to finish there bottle before they went in!
so we did the nice deed and helped out ha ha!
So we got in this concert and it filled up quick! We danced untill the concert ended and then Alexa pointed out Marcus just passed out at the table... WTF
They were like you have to get him back... Yea I know thanks!
oh wow this was just redicous I got him up and he takes five steps and falls and hits his hEad on the bottom of the bar...
I get him out and he falls Down the steps it was just aggravating!
Mind you it's icey and snow covered in most areas!
We get to walkin I'm like holding him up and he falls Gian brings me with him I cut my hand and banged up my knee...
I seriously almost left him!
I stopped to eat and he passéd out in the shop..
Finally got within reasonble range of the hostel after two tram rides...
I flagged down a taxi cause I was over it and wasn't exactly sobor my self..
For five euros we got back and I went straight to bed!
Woke up at eleven thirty checked out an hour and a half late but the lady was cool about it!
Marcos came down holding his head lol!
We got chinease food that I made him pay for because of last night!!!
And I seriously saw something i've never seen in my life! We got charge 1,50€ per glass of water and with out know ing I got a re-fill...
I was kinda pist not gonna lie!
I drank lots of water last night, Im a responcible drinker!
Ha ha i drank so much more than Marcos and carried his ass back..
I was a fun one but a real real crazy one!
Ha ha I'm leaving hamburg tomorrow and gonna try and catch hot chip in koln, but we'll see!
There sold out every were, that means goooood show!!!
Once agian don't judge you Guys are probably thinkin wow zacks slippen!
Im not just havin fun maybe to much fun and makin memories!
Love ya guys!
If i stay in hamburg Another day all be home tomorrow ha ha it's 4x the price of Berlin!
I miss Berlin ha ha but not as much as I miss everyone back home!
Marcos went a little over the top! So did I, but come on I kinda know when enoughs enough .. I'm pretty sure I do ha ha
Anyways Marcos and I met in the lobby and I was talkin to a kid from brazil that's lied in the Netherlands for a year now, he was way chill so Im gonna hit him up when I get to Amsterdam!

Bye bye berlin! Hello Hamburg!
My last night in the hostel was last night! It was. Pretty mello night kaisha gave a yegar and red bull and I just hung around with Shane. These girls from Arizona and new jersey checked in and they were cool but kept begging Shane and I to go out.. I felt bad but they were goin to a dance club 100% sober ha ha not that it's bad it's just not as fun I mean come on! And I was tired any way, and still wanted to make this walking tour that I have been wanting to do since the second day I got there! Ha ha that's bad! But what's reall bad is I never did it... But I saw a lot in Berlin, not just the bottom of a beer bottle.. :)
I got woken by the manager peea, because I had to check out I would usaully just hand them money for another night ha ha but I was up and wanting to leave any way! She's so sweet she said take your time and just come see menwhen your ready! When I was checking out she was like are you sure you dot want to stAy another night? I'm like ha ha what is this a guilt trip, bussiness, or you gonna miss me peea! :)
I felt pretty dam cofortable in that hostel after 8 days!
But I left the hostel full of great people and good times!!
I'm gonna miss"
The staff: Daniel, Anna, kaisha, peea, frann, Eva,
The peeps at the hostel: Shane, bob, Josh, Triston, tippe, Katherine, Ray and his brother, gemma, Andrea, Jamie, Josi, Sophie and her boyfriend, and all the people that came and went! Ha ha sound like I stayed for a year! After eight day people were wandering why I was leaving..
It was kinda wierd it was like a hundred questions lol
Why? Where are you going, who you gonna stay with, how long, are you gonna ever wanna see Berlin Agian before you go home, I thought you were gonna see hot chip here, Ha ha idk shit
My trip is to travel meet people and see the world not to settle in Berlin! Even tho Berlin is amazing it's ime to head out!
So I said by to the staff and all my buddies and started walkin!
When I got to the train stAtion I noticed that I misses a train to hamburg by one min.... But I caught on fifty minutes later and go to enjoy a little first class untill the lady told me that in order to use my train pass I'd have to go down to cars to second class.. Ha ha
The differences between second class And first class is really just the people in my oppinion!
So I smiled and moved down while all the people in suites starred at me " like I knew that kid didn't have a first class ticket"
so I came down to second class and I liked it much better!
The lady didn't stamp my pass so I can change it when I leave hamburg maybe!! No that's bad jk I won't do that..... I don't think...? :)
When I got off the train it was pretty cold and the sun was down. I ask the tourist information how to get to the A&O hostel and the lady I talked to spoke no English... Ha ha really a the tourist information counter??
Any way I wasn't leaving until my touristy question was answered!
So I talked to a nice younger girl that pointed it out on the map and it wasn't to far!
So I set out and didn't have to much of a problem finding it! I got checked in for a cool price of 12€
I wasn't feelin like doin much after 8 days of Berlin :)
So I went up to my room out some stuff away in the locker that I had to pay three euros for.... But j get to keep the lock and key so I can't complain... I guess ha ha
I said no to paying 3€ for bed sheets! I hAte being nickel and dimed!!!
Internet on there computer is 1€ for 20 min
And on my handy dandy itouch it's 1€ for and hour
But I just left a hostel where the staff gave of drinks and drank with us ha ha, the wi-fi was free and the sheets and blankets were neatly folded on your bed!!
2 hours of Internet here is about 10 sixteen oz beers in berlin... :)
I walked Down the street on a search for food and ended up turning around because I didn't feel like searching at night in the cold.. So i went to this little place right next to the hostel and asked for a pepperoni pizza! Of course he didn't speak English either but his pops did, so I asked him agian
And wow pops was a little crazy lol
He said you want pepperoni or salami? I was ummmmm that would be peperoni..
He held up a pepperchini and said a lot or a little!
I was like no thanks don't need any of that...
he's like soo just cheese...
WTF no a pepperoni pizza!!!!
he said I'm sorry man you ask for pepperoni pizza here that's what you get.
he said try salami it's better! So I said no problem is it like real salami or what kind... ( cause they have some wierd proccessed salami here)
And I shi you not he grabs his balls and says I have a reall salami right here my friend!
Yea proccessed Is fine then... Lol
So he laughed and said ok my friend i take care of you, sit down I bring it out!
No thanks I rather watch and make sure I don't get any real salami on my pizza....
Then he laughed agian and said "you like spicey"
Oh shit what now...
Ha ha I was like yea i love spicey and he holds out a spoon and says you sure you like spicey!
Uhhh yea man I'm sure!
try dis!
Hello!! That is the hottest liquid spice I have ever tried in my life!
He said you still like spicey? I just looked at him and when I tryed to talk I coughed and coughed and then coughed agian...
My eyes watered and then his son gave me bread and It pretty much saved my life!
Ha ha then ask for a bigger spoonfull cause I couldn't really taste it.. He just laughed and said I would like not to kill you lol i said danke shu! (thank you)
and noticed the son grabbing and pointing to his head and pointing down...
It took me min to realize what he was talking about untill a girl sitting down came up and picke up my beanie and handed to me as everyone she was sitting with laughed!
what ever his dad was just grabbing his balls after I agreed to a salami pizza.. I didn't know I was wearing to beanies!
ha ha I'm sure that girl felt bad for me after that sit com!
Then another English speaking kid came in and I felt bad lol bit he didn't have anything happens to him and he ask if cheese came in the pizza!! WTF
I ended up talking to him he was a shy but cool kid from Denmark!
I ate my pizza and gave them the tray and I got shit for that too ha ha he said were did you put the pizza my friend!
I showed him my pregnant belly and said right there bro!
it was good times ha ha!
I went right next store to the hostel to call it a night! I wet to bed at about 7:30 and woke up at about mid night and looked out the window to a snow storm!! Woooo hooooo
In the morning there was about 4-5 inches of snow around hamburg!
I ended up walkin around with a kid named Marcos from Indonesia and it was a lot of fun! He's no exactly a crazy kid and he freaked out when I told him I'm not waiting for every red guy to turn green in the cross walks... Just can't do it ha ha! Cars Are slipping out and there 400 feet away I don't care what color the guy is! I'm walking! He's pretty talkative if you give him a chance but he's been at the hostel for a week and said he has Met one person and really hadn't seen anything untill today.. I was like what did you do bro? Lol
His answer was work. I said fair enough work comes before play!
We went to st Pauli area of hamburg and thAt was cool! It would kick ass during the night time, and at the sametime be a little scetchy with it's never ending sex shops, and sex shows!
I went there to find goerge a jersy from there but I couldn't... That really bumbed me out...
Sorry goerge...
All look agian tho!
It started snowing like crazy and I wanted be outside when Marcos made every excuse he could to be inside...
Ha ha I love it! Then we walked thru thru the rich shopping area with places and brand I've never heard of but if you have a million dollors and want to spend it on shopping, just come to hamburg and walk right out of the train staion! It goes on for ever!!
Marcos had to go look at houses cause he's trying to move here so he took off.
I walked around a little bit longer and headed back to the hostel to check emails cause I was supposed to couch surf here bu I havnt heard back soo I migh end up staying another night at this hostel.. Which isn't bad but I much rather couch surf!
So I'm here now at the hostel just tryin to catch up on keepin in touch and organize a bit!
I don't see my self staying in hamburg for very long and I think hot chip is sold out everywere....
I'm reAll bummed but I think I'm still gonna go to koln and just wait out front and look for people selling tickets! That always happens! I hope?

Still at the mittes backpack hostel, and livin it up in Berlin!!
My bad I got a little behind on my blog... This hostel is just like a black hole and something is always going on!
Yea I know Im stll here... But Berlin is soooo cool and I love this hostel and have meet more people this week than I have during my whole trip before this! It's just non stop fun!!
I left off at the hockey game, and we lost... Ha ha the canadians are absolultly nuts about hockey I is beyond rediculous! Like really the are just flAt out syco about hockey!
I was tellin to sit down and chill out when the made the shot in over time ' stupid me I'm telling them that we have twelve minutes why can't we score agian what's your problem! Shit it's jut a goal!'
Ha ha I don't understand hockey and really dot have the desire to ever do so... I guess it's a Canadian thing idk..
Of course the Canadian got drunk and crazy!
I finished my water and went to bed!
The next morning we went to the Berlin wall and checked ou the whole stretch! It's so bad ass! Wow!!
I don't exactly understand how the paintings come about or who gets to do them and why dothey get to do them?
But it was very interesting, the history and the paintings tripped me out!
After the wall we started making our way back to the hostel And we stopped at mcdonalds... Eewww
I ordered in German tho! :)
We got back to the hostel and there was a bunch of people in lobby hangin out so we just started bull shitten and talkin about everything under the sun and all that came to our minds. I love random conversation with people from around the world it's always funny lol
For example no body knew what a smore was unless they were from the us or Canada
And explaining it is almost impossible ha ha there like what's a gram cracker... Ok let's google this! :)
Cream of weat and oatmeal is called pourage any where else.. I was like WTF is pourage!
The auzis and most other people call jell-o jelly
And jelly is jam
So they call jello shooters jelly shots
Then i was like no the only thing you miss with jelly is peanut butter not vodka lol
There like peanut butter and jam you mean.... ThAt's grose!!
..... Excuse me a p.b.and j! You really don't know what you just said lol
I guess peanut butter and jelly just for us guys ha ha!
Matter a fact I have seen no peanut butter here at all!
It's soo cool finding all the differences
People from austraila spell color with a U so colour
And many other peeps as well... I don't get it ha ha
Any ways were always chatting laughing and having a good time with people! I've seen probably fifty people check in and out while I've been here!
I went to my room to change to heAd down to the store with peeps and get some food and drink! When I walked in my room there was 8 Swedish girls changing And three were topless.. Lol I felt bad they just laughed and I came back in like 5 min knocked and went in!
Theh were all really cool girls Nd I asked if they wanted to play drinking cakes with us! You know just to break the ice! Ha ha and they were for sure in!
We went to the store and got three crates..
Alcohol is litterally forced in you here!
Seriously... Hmmm do we all by a six pack for 3 euros or maybe we should we get that crate (20/ 16 oz bottles) for 4.44
Yea 3 of those Guys should do the trick lol
Then it gets better you bring the crates and the bottles back and you get about 11 euros back it's just wierd!
So that was our wise decision! Ha ha we headed back in a line each holding An end of the crate, we made another beer chain!
Depending on who's working we pretty much just bring he beers right the lobby and start the fun!
We played kings cup! That was cool cause every one has there own little twist to what the cards mean! So we made the rules and there we were on crate number one!
About 2:00 we all decided we needed to go do some dancin soo we were off to Zapata! On the way down we completly walked rigt behind a cop when the red guy was lit on the cross walk! Which is a ticket in Germany... But not in ireland ha ha
The cop was really cool he just asked us were we were in a hurry to and we said to go dancin ha ha and he said ok be safe and walk on the green!
Good thing catherine spoke German :)
Zapatas was Another crazy night! Wow!
The dj is a girl and she's flat out amazing! She play the bet music and Danced with us untill About five!
I never stopped moving from about two- to- five thirty! Ha ha gotta burn these callories some how right!
Shane and I kept the party goin, him and I are the only ones that would dance in the middle ofthe dance circle we had going!
Then the dj changed the song and pushed me in the middle lol we danced and I had the motto '' dance like no bodys whatchin'' and omg I had fun!! The bar tender walked it with a shot of yegar and said cheers man! Your keepin it live! He was super cool!
People were a little bummed they didn't get a shot so after the last song he poured out a free round!
It was. Night all never forget and now I have a bartender and a dj friend in Berlin ha ha
along with so many others! It's just un explainable how awesome berlin is!!
The next morning I got woken up by Anna saying I need to check out and change rooms...WTF. Really right now at 11 am
I went to bed 4 hours ago! Good thing I'm organized :)
It didn't take me long to move and i was the only one in a room with nine beds! The room filled in a little bit later And they were cool people!
I woke up a couple hours later and go me a latte from the lobby! And Anna made me a giant sandwhich that was pretty much perfect!
That day we walked pretty par to a place called dalores burrito! It was really reAlly good! I couldn't undated the menu so I just go a number 3 cause I know how to say three in German ha ha and fallow I with a please :)
We passed a really cool alley that was all tagged up, the tagging here is everywere and some is truley some good art!!
It's wild! But anyways at the end of this alley way there was a book store with the most random books I have ever seen in my life!
It was kind of like the books in urban outfitters but more random and more books!!
I might go back, cause I wanted some of the books there!
We kept walking and we went to a art museum that was really cool but I liked the one I went to with Katherine better!
The we saw the empty library where the books
Were burned back in the natzi days.. And went into a really old Open builing, that was one big open room with. Statue Of a mom holding her kid and it was right in the middle Under an big opening in the roof were the sun would come through! It was very interesting!
and the went a lite more modern and saw the mercedes Benz and bently cars floors!
Bently makes some really crazy and nice cars!!
It started getting dark and kinda cold so we eneded up heading back I didn't have any desire to party that night..
And I walk the hostel and daniels working! Ha ha not only does he give me free drinks he gives you a guilt trip if you say no! It's rediculous so I couple beers with him, we catted for a while Nd he had to leave early cause his daughter was sick... So that was my escape ha ha I actually had an early night for Berlin! And this hostel ha ha I go to be at 1:30!
Yesterday was a chill day I juggled my sticks went grocery shopping and tryed to steel a shopping bag without even know it!
It's crazy how resourcefull they are here! You must bring your own bag and bag your own stuff! If you need a bag you pay like 35 cents for it! Or it might be more! I put the bag back real quick and carried all my stuff back!
I have my own little spot in the fridge for my stuff.. Ha ha I feel like I live here it's just crazy! I've been here for seven says as of today.. I love it here but i've got to move on lol I know Ive said this ha ha but I'm actually doin well with my money spending here!
Last night j splurged And bought a bottle of wine for 5 euros it was. Fun mellow nigh with good converstaion!
Shane and I eneded up not going to bed because tippe had to catch a bus at seven a.m so shed just be better off not going to bed after a bottle of wine you know! then all the Swedish girls game back and were pretty dam drunk so that was halarious and made it easy to stay up lol! I watched the sun come up in Berlin agian then gave tippe a big hug and I can't wait to see her in Denmark and I hope she comes to burning man like she talks about! :)
Tippe was sad to go... She had been there about 10 days and got attatched like every one else! I'm tellin you this hostel has the best energy ever!
After tippe left I got a couple rolls from the bakery then came back up with Shane and went to bed at 7: 30 this morning ha ha!
I was up by 1 pm got a coffee made a couple egg sandwiches and had a coffee and sat there missing the purple bean after every sip...
Its about 4:30 here and I'm just chillen I really should leave tomorrow lol!
I just can't decide whas next which shouldn't be hard but hot chip is in koln on the 9th and right here in Berlin the twelfth!! So idk but all that matters is Im learning and havin fun and being safe!
Love you guys!!!
Miss you guys!!!
And dAm just can't wait to see you guys!!!
Yea I know Im stll here... But Berlin is soooo cool and I love this hostel and have meet more people this week than I have during my whole trip before this! It's just non stop fun!!

It started getting dark and kinda cold so we eneded up heading back I didn't have any desire to party that night..
And I walk the hostel and daniels working! Ha ha not only does he give me free drinks he gives you a guilt trip if you say no! It's rediculous so I couple beers with him, we catted for a while Nd he had to leave early cause his daughter was sick... So that was my escape ha ha I actually had an early night for Berlin! And this hostel ha ha I go to be at 1:30!
Yesterday was a chill day I juggled my sticks went grocery shopping and tryed to steel a shopping bag without even know it!
It's crazy how resourcefull they are here! You must bring your own bag and bag your own stuff! If you need a bag you pay like 35 cents for it! Or it might be more! I put the bag back real quick and carried all my stuff back!
I have my own little spot in the fridge for my stuff.. Ha ha I feel like I live here it's just crazy! I've been here for seven says as of today.. I love it here but i've got to move on lol I know Ive said this ha ha but I'm actually doin well with my money spending here!
Last night j splurged And bought a bottle of wine for 5 euros it was. Fun mellow nigh with good converstaion!
Shane and I eneded up not going to bed because tippe had to catch a bus at seven a.m so shed just be better off not going to bed after a bottle of wine you know! then all the Swedish girls game back and were pretty dam drunk so that was halarious and made it easy to stay up lol! I watched the sun come up in Berlin agian then gave tippe a big hug and I can't wait to see her in Denmark and I hope she comes to burning man like she talks about! :)
Tippe was sad to go... She had been there about 10 days and got attatched like every one else! I'm tellin you this hostel has the best energy ever!
After tippe left I got a couple rolls from the bakery then came back up with Shane and went to bed at 7: 30 this morning ha ha!
I was up by 1 pm got a coffee made a couple egg sandwiches and had a coffee and sat there missing the purple bean after every sip...
Its about 4:30 here and I'm just chillen I really should leave tomorrow lol!
I just can't decide whas next which shouldn't be hard but hot chip is in koln on the 9th and right here in Berlin the twelfth!! So idk but all that matters is Im learning and havin fun and being safe!
