I would like to start this one off by saying: EVERYONE NEEDS TO VISIT PRAGUE. It is by far one of the most beautiful places on the planet and very deserving of your time. That being said, pictures do not do this city justice. As I said to my brother, "The city is so fucking beautiful that you climb to the top--see the entire city take a picture, and then immediately want to smash your camera for not capturing what your eyes are seeing." Now, the post: Friday After taking in the first few moments of the gorgeous city, one must look around and instantly realize that Czech boasts, by far, the hottest men in Europe. Seriously. This place is like hot dude central...even the guys wearing reflective work vests were just flat out panty-droppers. We ... read more

My dear sister, I'm sorry for my lack of blog time. Here we go. The last few days in shorthand: 1. I've been showering near every day....it's weird. 2. Learning how to swear in about 8 languages. 3. Staying out very late to talk about everything from politics everywhere to drinking with the Canadians, French, Ukrainians, Swedish, Dutch, Croatians, and Mexicans. 4. Explored the Donau (Danube) and shopping!! Oh, the shopping!!! I'm sure you, dear sister-friend, will be excited with the few pieces I've bought so far. The wine festival turned out to be a "Taste of Cincinnati" only for Linz. Still beautiful, full of people, and delicious wine, liquor, cheese, meats, cookies, everything! walking brass bands, heavy beers! Everyone would have loved it. Still attempting the charm the Swed. We'll see. I'm a sucker for ... read more

I decided this when I woke up next to the Swedish guy I hooked up with last night (hooked up with, not had sex with--to clarify!) for our 9am german class and my first thought when looking into his face was: his hand was in my vagina.... read more

Would like to point out before updating for today that after 12 hours of our 13 person group being in our dormitory I was approached by Mike, a nice Hungarian lad, our conversation went a little like this: Mike: "You're in the group from Cincinnati?" Me: "....Yes?" Mike: "I've heard of you guys. They say you're dangerous. Is that true?" Me: "How have you heard of us already!? And yes, very" Now for the Post. Met up with the other University of Cincinnati kids. Here’s the group now! My awesome roommate, Erin. Whose job it is this semester to keep my bad influence lower than her good one. This’ll be interesting. BUT either way, we head to the Linz Hauptplatz and look for eine (or zweie) Kneipe (bars). Success! Bug’s. here we toast to my favorite ... read more

This is what I would have sent to my sister today on the train if I had texting during this journey. I need to stop reading Bossypants in public. Also it might be more enjoyable then watching back-to-back 30 Rock......might be. TV is less work. But anyway! I keep laughing uncontrollably out loud next to strangers and I can only imagine that they are thinking what kind of moronic idiot i must be. but this book is fucking hilarious!!!!!!!! oh my god. I can't get over it. The only thing I don't like about it is that every time I read something side-splitting hilarious (and totally hear it in Liz Lemon's voice) I can't turn to you and repeat it like mom in a movie. Seriously, wish you were here for this train ride. ... read more

Flew into the Münich airport and spent the first night of my European adventure at Jaeger’s hostel. My first beer. Which lead to my first friend….of course a Canadian and NOT a european, but hey at least it wasn’t another American. (We’re the worst.) Had a few Ayingers. Then found a nice brau haus across the street from the Oktoberfest Park. Decided to take a “jaunt” ( as my new found amigo Ryan likes to say rather than “stroll” ) through the park and watch the set-up. All I can say is, looking forward to going back to Münich in the next week to celebrate the season, looks like it’s gona be funnnnnnn!!!! Had to nap after my first let’s say 6 for the sake of my family reading this deutsche biers. So back to the ... read more
