today's routine...eating, railway booking, playing in department store..... 2148　Hostel　暖了少許 　　巴黎的事留待巴黎才看，自覺得今次旅行的心態比上次又有了些轉變，想是務實了點吧，不會特別收集東西，又是那一句，留不住的便不留。 　　從包包買下的報紙得知，昨天國家隊球員到了5時才到達LTU Arena，早應猜到。之前覺得昨天的安排不佳（到了16:20才放人入場，球迷早已鼓譟），但全場45,000人在大會不斷播放音樂之下給「蒙蔽」了個多小時，回想起來，大會又自有他們精明的一套。 　　爸爸的SMS說巴黎又有青年騷動，不知會是怎麼樣。 　　今天只是吃與行街。... read more

1.6.06 0040 Good Night, and Good Luck My goal for when I have to wake up at the ungodly hour of 0500 is to wake up sweating… 2245 After this the rest is just bullshit… My 11th grade class this morning was talking about stereotypes. It was interesting to hear what people had to say about America…most of them were true though. But then again maybe not. One kid said, “most Americans are fat.” I wouldn’t disagree with that statement. Another kid said, “Americans eat fast food all the time.” Yet again, I wouldn’t disagree with that. I’m not fat and honestly can’t remember the last time that I ate fast food…not a big fan. I am not that discriminatory about different foods but I am when it comes to quality. Hey, this body is a ... read more

We are now in St. Goar, a little town on the Rhine River. We are going to check out a castle tonight and then head to Munich tomorrow. Sorry this is so short, we are on a computer that costs $2 per 10 minutes of internet time! We will write more from Munich... read more

Munich, Germany: STOP THE RAIN! We have yet to experience a full day without rain, and our first days in Munich were by no means an exception. Not only did it rain, it rained significantly harder and longer than it has before. The temperatures dropped into the low 40s for most of the time, only peaking at a maximum of about 55 during the afternoon when the rain subsided. Whatever we did to deserve almost 2 weeks straight of rain, we are truly sorry. When we woke up our first morning in Munich, the wind was blowing and the rain was pouring. It was so bad that we were forced to abandon the bike tour that we had been planning to go on. It would have been a miserable ride through the city, and the wind ... read more

Dear everybody I’m in germany now, my german is not as good as i thought it was, everybody speaks so fast here and it’s quite difficult to understand (and they dont serve beer at mcdonalds) The plane ride’s were uneventful, I read some books, magazines.. basically everything I could get my hands on… checked my watch, and we´d been flying for about an hour.. long time to go. I also managed to spill curried fish all over myself during turbulence, although I certainly didn’t allow my beer to spill. Japan was beautiful. Japanese people are too polite, but I could get used to it I guess. It took me about an hour to order my meal, everything was in japanese ?!!? it was impressively easy to order a beer however. The airport was beautiful but it ... read more
