Flight aboard Easyjet was smooth, on time and pleasant enough. I didn't know that they only allowed 1 baggage... so only carry on, not even a backpack or purse! Luckily one attendant was nice enough to let me on through to put my pack for free in the hold (ie: checked baggage area) and then … Continue reading Bouncing about Berlin

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

I got a sausage Mcmuffin with bacon... … Continue reading Train train to 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 :)
I slept alright all things considered, staying in a room above a bar! I had quality, industrial-approved ear plugs so that helped... until the adjoining room neighbours started talking loudly for hours... 😦 The noise from the bar wasn't too bad. It was more the vibrations from the bass... You can feel it pulsing! I … Continue reading First non-Bach day in Leipzig 🙂
Leaving for Leipzig
Got ready in the AM and after making breakfast and lunch for the day, I check out and get to the bus station without any issues. I took the Leo Express bus (they have trains too) and it was on time. There was machine coffee on the bus (I assume it was free?) and free … Continue reading Leaving for Leipzig
Full day out in Prague

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! 😀
