Pottering about in Paris

It's been a lovely few days just chilling and relaxing in Paris. It feels like coming back home to familiarity with the language, metro, culture, food. It's sure impressive how was can crave routine and unique experiences at the same time. I guess this is a "first world problem" so to speak. I feel very … Continue reading Pottering about in Paris →

Lazing around Leipzig

I was up early and so I decided to check in with my parents and we had a good long video chat. I also got a few messages from my host to go to the Natural History museum for free and to go have lunch/dinner but I declined all offers. I want to believe it … Continue reading Lazing around Leipzig →

First non-Bach day in Leipzig :)

People working there seemed bored or unhappy I got a ticket from a nice fellow for the Prague … Continue reading Full day out in Prague →

Pokin’ around Prague

Got some good sleep finally, after tossing and turning a bit at night. I made some instant noodles for breakfast hehe Gosh they were tasty! 😀 I walked through the park and there is a VERY public urinal. Basically it's a 3 sided stand alone urinal that men can just walk over to and lean … Continue reading Pokin’ around Prague →

Astounding architecture in Prague! :D

Feeling a bit better today with about 10 hours of sleep. Off to the market I went! There was an HSBC bank but it was only a work tower, not a branch... Fooled again like I was in Spain, darn it! It was within the Florentinum complex with eateries and restaurants and a supermarket. Very … Continue reading Astounding architecture in Prague! 😀 →
