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!
