Prague Airport Drives Homeless out of its Premises I think it’s an interesting step by the Prague government to deal with the homelessness issue, I wonder how it would effect those of us who look less vagrant? Yes, I’m thinking back to May when I spent the night at Prague Airport. To be honest, I [...]

‘Zine Proves Prague Students are More than Tourists … interesting article in yesterday’s Washington Square News. “We want to expand our perspective, see each other as locals might and constantly push the limits of our role as tourists,” wrote Duke University junior Casey Dean and NYU’s Billy O’Hare, the magazines editors-in-chief, in a letter featured [...]

Officially became a ‘wrap’ this morning when my backpack arrived. Glad that it arrived in one piece, it didn’t have any exciting adventures. Just seemed to want a longer layover at LHR since it arrived at JFK on BA 113 on Tuesday. I still think what happened was it made it to London on the [...]

or perhaps better known as: Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Switzerland in a day! Last minute packing done, I decided it would be far more sensible to take a taxi rather than bring two bags on a tram/subway combo. See, I’m sensible at times! The train left Prague at 9:15. Unfortunately, it was a Czech [...]

Unfortunately my luggage isn’t… BA still has no idea where it is, but I can’t imagine it’s going to be lost. There’s nothing that exciting in it. The line was huge at JFK but the staff really tried to keep a sense of humour on a hot, sticky night. Kudos to them. Switzerland was amazing [...]

So that photo woud be at the foot of the stairs looking back towards the main door. And yes, human bones form the decoration of Kutna Hora’s Ossuary. I wasn’t happy with most of the photos, hence there not being any posts to the Gallery, but I thought these were pretty cool. I knew Kutna [...]

It’s scary, but I think I agree with George W. on something. Apparently on a 2002 visit to Berlin he said the following: “The history of our time is written in the life of Berlin.” Somewhat frightening that I don’t think I could have said it better myself. Today in class we had a discussion [...]

  156 photos taken, 19 posted. This weekend’s trip to Berlin is one that’s going to stick with me for some time to come. I really felt like I was walking through history, albeit a mostly unknown history. Friday night I was up in our lounge where I found a copy of an old edition [...]

create your own visited country map or check our Venice travel guide I think I’ve travelled a lot, but then I look at that map and am somewhat unimpressed. Far too much grey space.I could cheat and list the two countries I’ll visit before going home, but Europe is so squished that it’s hard to [...]
