Geo: 50.0878, 14.4205Arrival in to Prague's hlanvi nadrazi took me by surprise. I could cope with some German words before, but now I found myself in a city with limited English than I had thought. Usually I am good at getting my bearings and direction straight away, but for some reason I stood at the station confused and disoriented. After probably a good fifteen minutes I finally found the underground, bought a ticket and was on my way to the hostel.A quick tip for Prague. When you get money out at the ATM, make sure you get notes of 200 denomination, eg 600 or 800. Don't get 1000 Krona out, because the ATM will give you a 1000 krona note. This can be a problem when you want to purchase things of a small amount. Shops ... read more

Geo: 52.5235, 13.4115Berlin, a city with so much history and life. I found that I was taking more photos of the people and the art of berlin than I did of the buildings. It's a shame that the war has destroyed most of these German cities but Berlin has it's these elements to compensate.I arrived into Berlin from Hamburg, I met with Liisa, a friend I had met in Australia the previous year. I was to be crashing at her place near the trendy and lively eastern suburb of Friedrichshain.Unfortunately I was fairly sick at this point so the following days were taken slowly and with ease as we visited the Turkish area of Kreuzburg. Along the way we got a kebab for 2euro. Berlin is a lot cheaper compared to other German cities. We also ... read more

Geo: 51.2365, -0.570305What do I get up to when I am based in Guildford?, being such a small town you probably would think not much, but I have been up to quite a lot in between my other European travels.I arrived here in mid January and staying and spending time with Anna. The first major event which I have been looking forward to for the last 15 years was seeing a soccer, oh sorry; Football, match, not necessarily an English Premier League game but to watch my favorite team who I have supported since a young teen, Leeds United.The fixture and timing was perfect to see Portsmouth Vs Leeds Utd as Portsmouth was only an hour away by bus and a couple of my friends are Portsmouth supporters so the rivalry was perfect too. So I ... read more

Geo: 43.7687, 11.2569Rome was conquered and now it was time to head to Florence via Pisa. Ah the Leaning Tower of Pisa, another contrast with India is that you go to this town or city to see an amazing piece of architecture but that's all there is, like Agra and the Taj Mahal. So there isn't any point in hanging around for more than a couple of hours.In our hungover state we were glad we weren't in for a day of walking, we just had to sit back and let the trains do the work. We took the cheaper train which takes longer but if you are on a budget then it's very handy.From Pisa we took the train again for less than an hour to Florence, it was about 6pm when we arrived and the ... read more

Geo: 43.6485, -79.3854Although I have only spent 1 week and probably seen about 0.00000000001 percent of the country, I think Canada is a pretty cool country; I can't wait to go back.I thought the United States was Ok, but I liked the feel of Canada better. The best analogy to compare the two (well only for people who have been to India and Nepal would be able to relate to this) is that the USA is India and Canada is Nepal; being in the USA means a more busier country, chaos and more people, granted I have only been to New York; And Canada is Nepal; more isolated, friendlier people and surrounded with nature and mountains to escape to. An early departure from New York was needed to time my arrival in to Toronto for Jamie ... read more
