Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a long name for a little medieval city squeezed into a pork chop shape by a dauntingly massive, traversable stone perimeter wall. With this wall, Rothenburg was able to resist being overtaken for nearly 400 hundred years. The problem with medieval walled cities in the 21st century is that they [...]
This is about the point in my trip where I start fancying a new piercing or possibly a tattoo. I did pass by the piercing studio several times during my stay in Heidelberg but no, I was mostly just using that one-liner to get you to read this entry. I know, I’m a turd. This [...]
I don’t plan much out when I travel. I just get these ideas in my head of how I’m going to accomplish something, and then when I get to where I think I’m going, I try to put my lack of plans into action. It’s not that I don’t think planning is a good idea. [...]
I was biking, like a mad Berliner, through a red light at an intersection, around four Mercedes in a row, past a bicycle group of tourists in flip flops, underneath the Brandenburger Tor, and past the car circle to front door of the Reichstag, where the German parliament meets. Both my book and Bee and [...]
I made it to Berlin. I’m currently sharing a room with three Japanese chicks who actually say “Tee hee hee” when they laugh. This is of course, an excellent start to any German adventure. Stay tuned.
I am enroute to Berlin this evening for my train adventure around Germany. I’ll write again when I get there.
Yesterday night I sat at the Bertastrasse bus stop a block away from Kiwi’s apartment. The last bus of the evening was coming at exactly 12:26 a.m. I was alone. Being alone is not a new experience for me at all, it’s just a part of my existence that I’m typically able to avoid as [...]
“How the heck do you know all these people around the world?” Calistoga asked me over IM as I sat in a house in Istanbul overlooking the Bosphorus Channel. That’s the funny thing. I didn’t even meet half these people after moving to Zurich. I knew most of them long before that, while living in [...]
Hi everyone, thanks for bearing with my backposts from Chamonix. There was no internet access there, but that’s ok because I spent the whole time biking and hiking the mountains. If you read the posts in chronological order, they’ll make more sense. Also, the entire Chamonix gallery is here.
I am currently sitting in Munich airport [...]
When I woke up this morning it was raining. I opened the curtains to the balcony and saw water pouring out of the roof rain spout, dripping off the eaves, and clouding the sky gray. A red hen in the garden below shook water off her feathers and then continued pecking around in the grass [...]
