So here it is, another of my crazy travel adventures. Join me as I venture through the historic city of Prague — and end up in Berlin (for Canadian Thanksgiving), Vienna (for the Opera) and surrounded by thousands of human skulls (seriously). Enjoy… M
It took three nights of almost no sleep and many backbreaking trips up and down my stairs. And — I’ll be frank — there’s no way that I would have gotten it all done without Cher’s help. But we finally finished the move out of my apartment. About a half hour before we were due […]
Ok. So I’ve been here for a few days now… And I’ve got things pretty much figured out. Or so I think. I don’t speak any Czech, really. Just: Hello (Do-bry Den) Thank you (Dyk-wy) Receipt (Oo-chet) I’ve found the grocery store, the health food store, the corner store and two department stores. I even […]
Well folks. I’ve been here a week already. Hard to believe that I could become a Lord of Supreme Laziness in only 7 days, but I have. I tried to get out of bed early this morning. And by early, I mean 8 o’clock. So not at all early by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. […]
Jean? Who the heck is Jean? Good question. It’s one that I did not know the answer to only 4 short weeks ago. But I can happily answer the question now. Jean is Jean Brozny. Cool & Fun. Canadian. Lives in Toronto. Works for Corus (the parent company of Smart Woman’s network). A colleague in […]
I made it to Berlin at about 5:00. My first real Eurail ride. I’ve been on local trains in France before, but never actually rode the Eurails before. It was fantastic. I had a window seat. The Czech and then the German country-sides were fascinating to see. And Dresden looked amazing — the architecture was […]
So here we are… enjoying a truly Canadian Thanksgiving. In downtown Berlin. I think that there are 15 of us. A collection of Canadians, Germans and a lone Yank. Most are friends of Bryan’s. There’s Tosh, short for Macintosh, one of Bry’s best buds who’s been living in Berlin for almost 8 years. Tosh ruled […]
As I walked back from the train station to my apartment this evening, I thought, “It’s nice to be home.” And it is. Even if it sounds funny to say it. And even funnier to think about it. I guess it’s the whole thing of going away to another place… Anyway, it is nice to […]
How did it all start? Well… about 50 billion years ago a million tons of gas and particles started collapsing in upon itself until there was an enormous explo… Oh wait… wrong story. I’m supposed to be telling you how I chose to go Vienna tomorrow for my 27th birthday. What? Ok Ok. It’s not […]
It was magical. The seats were mindblowingly great. Mindblowing. Even if they weren’t actually ‘seats’… But saying ‘stands’ doesn’t make sense to anyone. I guess I could just say ‘spot’. Anyway, check out my view from my ‘spot’. Seriously. I felt like a kid in a candy store. And the experience? Like watching a fantasy […]
