Emotional Fútbol War Ground
Read More: Emotional Fútbol War GroundToday began, perhaps, the emotional roller coaster ride of leaving Spain. I am, without a doubt, excited to come back home. However, there are certainly aspects I will miss about Barcelona, mostly, if not only, the people I have met. My good friend, Iana, left today to Bulgaria. For some reason I wasn't really sad…

Eighteen Years of Lecture
Read More: Eighteen Years of LectureI meant to write this on Tuesday, the 9th. I was going to backdate it, but decided not to. It was, however, written in my notebook on that date, and is being transcribed here on this date. My good friend, Derek, somehow, seemed to know that I was going to write this as he had…

The Streets are Always Wet
Read More: The Streets are Always WetI guess once the initial barrier is broken, it is easier to write random thoughts about Barcelona. I should have done this a long time ago. There is something that really bothers me about the streets here. They are always wet. Always. Sometimes they are completely wet, as if it just rained. Other times they…

Day of Coincodence
Read More: Day of CoincodenceToday was interesting. It is a shame that this is actually my first post about Barcelona, but so it goes. I create a blog to document my happenings here, and of course what doesn't happen is exactly that. Since I have given you no previous Barcelona background, you will have to learn about my time…

Paris and the Butterfly Effect
Read More: Paris and the Butterfly EffectOnce upon a time, there was a boy who had a mild yet irritating case of dandruff. There were times when it went unnoticeable, and there were other times where he would be so conscious of the small white flakes on his black, button-up, French-cuffed shirt that he would go through great lengths to try…

Milan, Italy
Read More: Milan, ItalyThis post is backdated because I have taken FOREVER to update this poor blog. The actual date of writing is March 4th, 2006 – over a month late. As I told my Mom, I have been too busy living to write about living. Such is the trade off. The more I indulge myself in the…

Zagreb, Croatia
Read More: Zagreb, CroatiaWhat a mistake, I think. I was told if I would like Ljubljana, then I should go to Zagreb, Croatia. Well, my railpass covers Croatia for free when you order Slovenia as well, so I figured why not? Comming off the train, things looked good. Instead of dropping you off in the commercial district, the…

Ljubljana, Bled [2]
Read More: Ljubljana, Bled [2]Come Saturday, Anya and I were rather tired and spent most of our time in restaurants and napping. It became a joke between us that we were being like kindergardeners napping all of the time. Really, it is her fault, because she started the trend by napping from the moment I met her! Oh well,…

Ljubljana, Slovenia
Read More: Ljubljana, Slovenia2:30am, I get off at the Ljubljana train station in the bitter cold and fog. Nobody is on the streets, and only a few people got off at the station. I try to navigate my way to the hostel, and finally find it. Walking into the door, I notice a mysterious odor. There is the…

Venice, Italy
Read More: Venice, ItalyPart of me feels pretty bad for going to my brother’s dream town. At the same time (Kevin, if you’re reading this), there really isn’t anything stopping him from going, so that’s up to him 🙂 Arriving at Venice gave me a completely different feeling. Touristy, indeed, however the lack of mopeds and three-wheeled cars…
