Im a musician, writer, freelance media worker, esoteric type and european train buff from London, UK with a mysterious connection to the Czech Republic (NOT Czechoslovakia!), currently in the process of moving to Prague. I love travel by train around central and eastern Europe, discovering new ways of declining nouns, drinking slivovice (and spelling its name) and testing the locals with my inherently black sense of humour, whilst hoping that old communist rolling stock and tantalising zombie trains with nearly as many destinations as there are carriages continue to live on for as long as they can, for every city switch involving crashing out in a 6 man carriage piled up with 10 people having panicky dreams about waking up in Kiev rather than Berlin weirdly warms my heart. Most of all though, I love it for the inspiration.

My chosen username means "file lake shoe" in czech. Don't ask.

This isn't really travel blogging but about a project I'm working on for University at the moment, an audio-visual piece taking the ideas from a piece called "Different Trains" by Steve Reich and recreating them using electronic sources, with video to accompany, and a narrative about European Rail Tourism. This documents the production of the project and gives you a preview at the end. The completed product will be with you in December! Part 1 Part 2 Hope you enjoy :) [View Full Entry]

...now we're on the streets.
There's little I really feel I can write about what I've been upto in my last week in the Czech Republic this summer. I've had a visitor and we've been all over the place, but the idea of "travel blogging" anything since I've returned from Croatia has just seemed silly as then, I really felt I was returning home, rather than just to "where I was staying". So I just don't have anything to say anymore. Going back to London just feels wrong, and I doubt I'll be staying there very long after finally finishing my degree. So all I have [View Full Entry]

Anarchy

This has been a busy weekend, was DJing in Jablonec nad Nisou on friday night and Prague on saturday night (both shows were epic). The rest of the time I've just been chilling and sleeping, and on Saturday during the day my friend Jessica showed me around Stromovka park and Troja castle, just around the north of the bend in the river. I fully recommend a visit here on a warm summers day.. haven't got much to write about it though. Troja had nice scenery, some interesting sculptures around the chateau and lots of fruit growing all over the place which [View Full Entry]

Zagreb
Zagreb
Old town
The last night in Novalja gave me just 2 hours of sleep, it was horrifically hot and for some idiotic reason I refused to open the window to keep the mosquitoes out, despite having a fan on which would have done the job alone. So after writhing in that oven of an apartment all night, I gave a rather tired sigh of relief as I stepped onto the (air-conditioned) coach to Zagreb, knowing that tonight I would be leaving the 36°C August temperatures of former Yugoslavia long long behind. I arrived into Zagreb 3 hours before my train out again was [View Full Entry]

Set off from the hostel in Ljubljana at half 5 on Tuesday morning to catch the 6.20am train to Rijeka, which ended up not leaving until about an hour later due to the late arrival of some zombie carriages which needed to join us. As we went off, I fell asleep almost straight away and was woken up at the Slovenian border station by the police. Half an hour after the lengthy process of clearing both border stations we were scaling the Istrian coastline towards the clump of huge cranes and paneláks which sat on the shore. The confusingly named city [View Full Entry]

Former prison
So I am here in Ljubljana in a hostel which used to be a prison. Cool as that is, it wasn't an aesthetic choice, more a practical one as it was the closest budget accomodation to the train station, where I have to get a train from at 6.20am tomorrow morning. However I have heard this place waxed out by plenty of backpackers blogging about Ljubljana on here, so I was hoping to be able to see it. The train journeys here were mostly hell, to be honest with you. I was denied buying any food to bring on to me [View Full Entry]

Ljubljana at night

This weekend has been a blur of people randomly showing up from all over the world, from Brno to the Isle of Wight to outer space and god knows where else and placing themselves within at most a day trip's length of Prague, resulting in me dashing all over the place and finally getting out of the house a fair bit! Unfortunately I havent been using my camera recently, and my internet connection is not letting me upload anything at the moment.. so there are no pictures from it. It began on Thursday, when my friends Gabriela and Jana texted me [View Full Entry]

I was naive in thinking I wouldn't be leaving Prague until I head south for Ljubljana on the 17th, as this plus the general absence of any company at the moment led me into an absolutely comatose hermit week since finishing the metro challenge on friday, over which my sleeping pattern became progressively less defined and my energy levels falling into oblivion like a baby on a tightrope. The turning point came last night when I found I couldn't even get to sleep, even as the sun had fully risen at 7am, so I decided to give up on bed, but [View Full Entry]

...so here's what they call a Feast in the Czech Republic. -> It's way too hot here at the moment. That is all. Summer isn't over yet though - I might be doing a trip down to Croatia later on in the month, which will include - cheapo train to Ljubljana in Slovenia, spending a night there, then onwards to Novalja to see my family (including the newest addition), then maybe back via Zagreb, Balaton, and/or Vienna to see a few friends.. May also be doing a short excursion to Munich before I leave to see someone too. Until then I've [View Full Entry]
