Almost every time I travel alone I think about how much better it would be to have someone with me. Not necessarily for the visiting but for the actual travel portion. When I have been blessed enough to have someone to travel with I never think about how much worse it would be without [...] September 8th, 2009
A few people have asked me about my trip to London. Here are some details. I stayed at one of the LSE residences. It brought back memories of various residences I’ve visited and stayed in. It also made me think that students living in residence are either really motivated to get through school (and [...] August 27th, 2009
Here is the photo evidence that I went to the Vimy Memorial and then spent the night in Brussels. We were also in Luxembourg but didn’t take any photos there. August 17th, 2009
I found something else to do in Berlin: the Deutsches Currywurst Museum. August 17th, 2009
Oi, mates. It was off to Stuttgart yesterday as planned. I got there in great time, as traffic was fine and the unrestricted areas of the autobahn did allow me to hit my car’s top speed of about 210 km/h. (Aside: I’m driving the new VW Golf with 2.0L TDI diesel engine, due to [...] August 16th, 2009

Yes, he was exaggerating the truth a little bit but the premise of his point is correct: North Americans are more accustomed to travelling long [...] August 4th, 2009
Here’s a flickr set of some Madrid photos. It was hot, but nice. The metro is awesome. The food is okay, but not the best–maybe I just didn’t know where to eat. Though I will say the seafood was really good. An old city with some good history. And the Spaniards are really proud [...] July 31st, 2009
I write to you from my Superior Room with Castellana Ave. View in the luxurious Hesperia Madrid. I am enjoying a complimentary Granny Smith apple (they literally have a bowl of them by the elevator on each floor) as I draw my second bath of the evening. My comfort is maximized by the provided [...] July 30th, 2009
I am sitting in Frankfurt Airport waiting for my flight to Madrid. For some reason I booked a train that arrived really, really early and I have multiple hours to kill before my flight departs. I am writing with two hours before take off now. I have killed time by first trying to fly [...] |
