Europe » Lithuania » Vilnius June 2nd 2008

Hola no crean que me olvidado de ustedes lo que pasa es que en estos días he estado como medio ocupado e involucrado con muchas actividades y últimamente mi trabajo absorbe la mayor parte de mi tiempo, bueno le tengo varias historias después de 20 días , le cuanto que ya soy toda una celebridad en estos lados :) una tarde de trabajo tuve una llamada por el celular y empezaron a hacer algunas preguntas que si era verdad que venia de colombia y que si trabajaba en una empresa de tecnología etc, etc. Yo dentro de mi pensaba que era el departamento de inmigración y que algo no estaba correcto con mis documentos dije “ya me deportaron”, pero no al final era una periodista del periódico mas importante de Lituania “ Lietuvos rytas”, la chica ... read more

Hi everyone! Been a little while since the last update, but it has been incredibly difficult to come by internet cafe's in rural poland. Since the last blog we had a small accident with our lovely little corsa. Drove into a restircted area in Schwerin in germany, an automatic bollard came up out of the ground and smashed the front end and radiator. Paul was swearing and i was almost crying. But luckily a nice young german man, Gerhard, was passing by who happened to be a mechanic and offered to fix it for us that night! Saved! It was a saturday afternoon and a public holiday on the following monday. Would have been to expensive to fix anyway. So he and one of his mates welded it all up and put in a new second ... read more

Europe » Lithuania » Vilnius » Trakai April 21st 2008

From Latvia I moved south to Lithuania, first stop was Vilnius. I found Vilnius to be a very clean and assesable. It was also the turing point of the weather. The snow started to stop you could tell cause every one was starting to creep out of their houses for the first time. I spent a few days touring around seeing the sights and the museums then took a day trip to Trakai. Trakai is a small town on a lake with an unbelievable castle on an Island. You can see from the Photo I posted. Also what is a trip to a baltic capitol without going to an Occupation Museum and a KGB Prison. Both of which I found to be very depressing and intersting at the same time as would most I guess. ... read more

(Day 15 on the road)"Whats your mission on your travels?" That was the question I was asked by two girls I went out for dinner with on my last night in Vilnius. Well, a very good question indeed - what was my mission? Travel round the world walking backwards, or only using female donkeys as the preferred method of transportation, or taking a picture of every person I meet that was wearing pink sandals? To be honest, I don't have a mission. My only idea for the beginning of this trip is that I want to reach China by traveling overland. I feel this will give a more gradual start than if I stepped on a plane in Europe and got off in crazy Beijing, Manila, or Delhi. Apart from that, it's just me traveling as ... read more

Alright, the best news first: I've made it safely back into civilization, i.e. the EU. Unsurprisingly, it's like a different world here, no more surly people, bad service, spitting as a form of expression, and no more Cyrillic! But how did it all come about? After my last proof of life, I managed to catch the train from Kyiv to Minsk after 10 hours of waiting at the train station. Yes, I could have left my luggage in a locker there, but -behold!- the descriptions were all in Cyrillic, and since I prefer my luggage safely tucked away, I refrained from that plan and grudgingly carried it with me. I killed the time reading, going on the internet, and snoozing away with the head on my backpack. The actual trip was nothing worth mentioning, the usual ... read more

Well i guess i have to make a short update of what is going on with my life, as in the last months i was most of the time out of time. Starting with the beginning of March i am working in a company as HR assistant, and i get to travel a lot in between Kaunas and Vilnius, i have to wake up at 5:30 or 6 every day and i make about 200 Km/day by car...i am not driving. During the last week my health was not that good but i recovered fast i would say and now i am ok. I like the job that i have even if it is challenging and i have to make sacrifices and to push myself every day, i am in a new environment where i ... read more

Si querido publico ya mas de 1 mes por aquí en esta tierra un poco fría, pensé que no me tocaría nieve pero eso es lo que me ha sobrado desde hace 15 días, bueno les cuento mi primer experiencia en la nieve era una tarde y empezó a caer como arroz, pero no era arroz sino nieve y yo dije “que maravilla ya puedo conocer la nieve”, y me senté en una silla y me quede mirando para arriba todo contento porque era mi primera vez que veía nevar!!! Después de 15 minutos ya parecía un muñequito de nieve, pero ya no me parecía tan maravilla me dio mucho frió y como que ya tenia síntomas de hipotermia entonces me vine como pollo de supermercado (mas congelado) para el apartamento y feliz porque ya podía ... read more

Bueno después de ya 15 días fuera de casa, he conocido mucha gente y muchos lugares ya tengo muy buenos amigos que hacen mi estadía aquí aun más fácil!! Bueno les cuento que estuve en un lugar muy especial y muy hermoso un lugar de oración donde se siente una paz tremenda es como para nosotros Buga, este lugar se llama Santuario de Ostra Brama y aquí se encuentra un cuadro muy hermoso y milagroso, esta encima de un arco y dice en latín Mater Misericordiae o la madre de la misericordia en español, Fue coronada canónicamente el 2 de julio de 1927 ha hecho milagros muy hermosos como el Señor de Buga, salvo a vilnius de dos incendios que se apagaron milagrosamente, innumerables sanaciones, salvo a un niño que se cae de un segundo piso ... read more

Bueno hoy les escribo desde Vilnius, Lithuania, mañana desde cualquier lugar del mundo después de 3 años quieto en colombia he tomado la decisión de volver a abrir un nuevo desafió en un capitulo de mi vida, después de fregar tanto de que me iba y pasaba el tiempo y nada por fin llegue a lithuania el 27 de febrero, la experiencia empieza desde colombia creo que venir a Lithuania es uno de los procesos mas complicados que hay, puesto que a mi me tomo 1 año y 2 meses, lo voy a describir cortamente, si vas a trabajar como es el caso mió debes sacar: primero un permiso de trabajo( 4 meses), luego una solicitud de residencia (6 meses) y por ultimo después de que te aprueben la residencia necesitas la visa (2 meses) pero ... read more
