The Blog has landed! I took it upon myself to start this thing because I quite fancy myself as a journalist, and also to keep the worried people from the homelands happy. The story is this: Alex, Peter, Richard, Rob, Ross and Daniel are going to Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and wherever else seems good, just like a big walk in the park really, Anyway, this is just to keep whoever is interested posted. Enjoy! next log will be singapore i suppose. P.S. feel free to leave your comments on anything really, my skillfull prose, appaling spelling or whatever. We are a busy crew but will do our best to get back to you. ... read more

3 days in Dublin, Ireland. I haven't updated this blog in forever, mostly due to the lack of proper internet connectivity. Right now I am back in Krakow, in my favorite internet cafe, and I am going to attempt to catch up on the blogging. So. Should I start with the complaining or write about something fun? Ok, something neutral, more like a comment. Being in Dublin Ireland after 3 months of traveling in non-English speaking has been REALLY strange for me.

We headed to a local pub for a couple of beers and then off to Kat's parents place, where we were cooked a nice steak. Kat and I caught up and then off to bed (seperately, ... read more

So we're down to our last full day in Europe. We've decided to spend it in the Temple Bar area of Dublin, lots of people, shops and most importantly, pubs. We're hoping to catch some more futbol on the tvs in the pubs because we've been trying to pay more attention to the World Cup teams. As we said before, the people over here love their soccer! We watched England run circles around jamaica yesterday. Sara is going to root for England and i'm going for the US and Holland. UNKA ED, since you've been one of our most consistent commenters, we have to tell you about the coffeeshops in Amsterdam. First of all, I'm guessing there are as many coffeeshops there as there are pubs here in Dublin. Each little section of the city has ... read more
