mickeyj - Michael Rheumer

Michael Rheumer ANZAC Day 2008 again marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War "Lest we forget" It also marks another milestone, my next oversea's sabbatical.

"Lest I forget" forget about my life in a cubicle for a while, which typically starts early in the morning to the soothing acoustics of my alarm clock, followed by an entertaining commute through peek hour traffic and finally the most pleasurable of all spending eight hours a day in an office cubicle with a guy who closely resembles a the nutty professor from the movie back to the future.. "1.21 Gigawatts, Great Scott Marty!"

Which brings me to the next chapter.. Which starts here and ends somewhere?? Most likely back in BrisVegas at the end of October. My plan is to head to USA for just over a month starting at LA with a tour of the West Coast then across to NY and finally landing in London, do a bit of work then head up to Scotland, across to Denmark, making my way through Eastern Europe.

This is the painting on the wall of the Grasshooper that I always seem to talk about!
Still what I consider to be the most amazing city in Europe.. such a vibrant place with hundreds of people mostly tourists wondering around. The most amazing pastry shops, coffee shops (not cafe's) and the red light district.. stunning super models in almost every window.. you have to see it to believe it Didn't really take many pic's her as I already have a bunch from the last time I was here.

Sophia, Bulgaria

 Europe » Bulgaria » West » Sofia
Hmmm Bulgaria.. What can I say?! It was about the city where there were no tourists.. instead of spot the local it was spot the tourist! Lots of Communist style buildings. We all went out to the 'Jim Beam' bar .. the cute bar staff were dancing on boxes behind the bar.. the Bulgarian highlight [View Full Entry]

Bucharest, Romania

 Europe » Romania » Bucharest
Romania was an interesting country, more so than Bulgaria!! I really wanted to get a photo of a bunch of gypsy.. they are virtually all over the country identifiable by there horse and cart and sometimes in colorful clothing. Bucharest the capital has a similar look in terms of communist style buildings to Bulgaria. Bucharest also seems to have a glue sniffing problem.. you see them all over the place with a plastic supermarket style bags going the sniff!! [View Full Entry]

Krakow, Poland

 Europe » Poland » Lesser Poland » Kraków
The visit to Auschwitz concentration camp was such an eye opener.. obviously I was aware of the holocaust during WW2 but I had no idea just what went on at these 'Death Camps' .. millions of Jews transported like cattle in trains, basically lied to by the Nazi's.. head shaved, stripped of their possessions.. housed in squaller then exterminated!! On a lighter note, Krakow is a really nice town .. beautiful old town square.. lots of great restaurants and a mix of night life.. jazz clubs, nite clubs etc.. [View Full Entry]
