Good-bye First Apartment

Posted in Living Life, Travel, tagged , on July 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Today, I am flying home to the States for three weeks.  I haven’t been in the States for 12 months.  I am looking forward to seeing my friends and family but I am not so excited about the 20+ hours of traveling.  Some how, this travel seems more like work while the travel I’ve been [...]

Um, really?

Hey, Billa: I still know what’s under the graffiti you covered up.
I have a hunch that yellow paint would have been slightly more effective.  Thanks for covering this up but in some ways you’ve just made it that much more obvious what the previous graffiti was. And that seems counter intuitive to me.

Moving to Mladost

Posted in Having Fun, Living Life, Moving on July 26, 2009 | 5 Comments »

Tomorrow is moving day! I am moving to my new apartment in Mladost tomorrow.  Yeah! I hate moving but this will be the easiest move ever.  I have one box and six bags.  Easy-peasy.  I hope. Oh and my new building has an elevator.
I took some pictures on Friday when I saw the apartment for [...]

Lviv, by foot

Posted in Travel on July 19, 2009 | 4 Comments »

I made it to Lviv in the Ukraine. I wasn’t sure how easy it was going be so I’ve been nervous about it for the last couple of days. I was traveling from Krakow but there’s not an exactly “direct” train. It’s about a  9 hour ride.
So when the hostel I am staying at had  [...]

Krakow

Posted in Travel on July 18, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I’ve been in Krakow now for two days (and I am spending a third before heading off for Lviv in the Ukraine tomorrow).  There is so much great stuff to do and to see in the city.  It’s kind of overwhelming.  Ha. After four rather slow-vacationy days in Olomost and in Wroclaw, it’s hard to [...]

Wroclaw

Posted in Travel on July 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Wroclaw is hot and muggy today but that did not keep me from exploring the city.  Sure it would be nice if it was not so hot but I think that makes it okay to eat ice cream so I cannot complain too much.
The city has lots of churches which I have been in and [...]

Olomouc

I am currently in Olomouc which is the fifth largest city in the Czech Republic. I have been here for a day and I love it. The city is beautiful and the streets are un-crowded.  Oh and it doesn’t hurt that I have only been able to identify a few other tourists while on my [...]

Prague on My Mind

Woah Prague! This is a great town.  I can totally see why it has become such a hot tourist spot.  The city is stunning and I do not throw words like that around lightly, you know, stunning.  I had heard great things about Prague but I also knew that it has a reputation as a [...]

Bratislava

I am in Bratislava right now and will be leaving this morning to travel to Prague.  This again is just going to be another quick post. Sorry I don’t have more time.
Bratislava is an amazing city.  It has a really small feel an it’s totally accessible. Compared to Venice it seems like paradise.  Sure there [...]

Venice

Posted in Having Fun, Living Life, Travel on July 7, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Great news. I made it to Venice.  After our airplane landed at the wrong airport due to bad weather, we then sat on the runway for 2.5 hours.  Gross. I did however meet a Bulgarian Italian family who live in Italy and their kids are learning both Bulgarian and Italian. Oh and the 10 year [...]
