Firstly - I phoned TVU the other day and they found it in their hearts and their un-bureaucratic sides to disclose over the phone that I passed all my modules last semester! This I am really bloody relieved about remember how much I worked my ass off and probably endangered my life drinking so much Red Bull towards the end of the hand in rush, and means I will be going back to finish my degree in September - January 2010 as planned. Secondly, my sleeping pattern has been buggered ever since my getting stuck in Bratislava fiasco, as this resulted [View Full Entry]

I apologize for not writing much recently, things have been getting a little busy getting ready for the study tour. Today marked the first of six days of wandering around the Czech Republic. We actually got to leave Bohemia and head into Moravia! Today we went to a network of caves and then spent the afternoon in Brno. The cave system was amazing. I’ve been to a few caves and caverns back in the States (Laurel Caverns in Pennsylvania and Smoke Hole in Canaan Valley) and I really enjoy them, so this was a lot of fun. The guide didn't speak [View Full Entry]

Greetings all, It's come time for me to update this old thing about my Easter adventures, and I have lots to say and only so much desire to write so much, so no time to dilly dally, let's get the ball rolling. On Friday, April 3rd, Libor, Jana , Ivan , and I drove to Vienna with our friend Jevgenij , where he dropped the four of us off, and we spent the afternoon in Vienna. We went to the Schönbrunn Palace where we hung out, people watched, and enjoyed the suddenly warm weather that struck Austria. [View Full Entry]

For a small town, Brno has quite terrible traffic, mainly due to the small one or two lane streets I guess. We arrived on time but it took about 15-20 mins more to get to the bus station. Despite an initial mix up (there are two bus stations) my host found me and we dropped off my stuff before heading out to get some food. He also took me to a local pub to try a special beer unique to Brno - Pegas. They brew it onsite and it's unfiltered. I have to say that it's probably the best beer I've [View Full Entry]

You're perhaps wondering what the title of this blog means, "Láska." That, ladies and gentlemen, is the Czech word for LOVE. Because I am in LOVE. And her name is ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA. I have found my absolute, uncontestable favorite land in Europe. Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! So, let's get right to it. On Thursday, the 18th, Libor and I woke up at the crack of dawn (after going to bed at the crack of dawn) to catch the train to Vienna. We had decided to go up really early so we could spend the entire day there trying to see everything for [View Full Entry]

Mal eine kleine Zeichenerklärung vorweg, damit ihr auch alle immer schön den Autor erkennt: * Normale Schrift stammt von Joschka * fette Schrift kommt aus Stephans Fingern * und kursiv schreibt Dennis So liebe Leute, der Tag ist gekommen! Heut morgen in aller früh habe ich das erste Mal seit langem im Auto die Heizung angemacht. Es gibt wohl kein besseres Zeichen, als damit Deutschland den Rücken zu kehren :D Bald waren Stephus und Dennis eingesackt (nicht ohne die ein oder andere Rüdersdorfer Schotterstraße mitzunehmen) und wir auf der A13 in Richt [View Full Entry]

...and i will walk OVER 9,000 moar!!!! I haven't actually walked 1,000 miles, that is the biggest lie in the history of modern society, however, this time yesterday I was completing a journey probably about 1,000 miles long overland, which was not what I planned to do, but screw it, the worst thing that can happen is if everything goes to plan. And why this happened is a rather deep story which unfortunately is going to make my travelblog more resemblant to livejournal. So I left you last on wednesday night, and the less said about my night in Tábor on [View Full Entry]

C'est ainsi que Paulin et moi avons fait une garde de nuit de 6h30 à 8h du matin. Mais il fait jour, alors nous attendons les barbares en bouquinant : les intellectuels qui attendent les grosses brutes ! Nous sommes partis le mardi 12 du camp. Un fois rentrés chez nous, nous demandons des nouvelles à Jan et Anna. Aujourd'hui le 30 aout, aucune réponse de leur part... C'est donc fini la colonie. C'est dommage qu'on soit partis si tôt, car nous n'avons pas assisté à de discussion qui aie montré l'intérêt du truc, et nous venons juste de découvrir des [View Full Entry]

Nous avons eu, autour du feu, des débats ... Comment organiser la défense du camp contre une éventuelle attaque fasciste ? Où placer stratégiquement les femmes et les enfants ? Qui mettre de garde ? Mais quel est vraiment le risque ??! je vous laisse découvrir. (voir la vidéo) -la vidéo est indisponible car on m'a demandé de la retirer (pour la voir il faut me demander...)- [View Full Entry]
