... but only.. on.. my.. own..uh i know this is out of order n stuff.. but i figure i may as well use free internet whilst i can =p
atm im staying at a
hostel in prague. i wouldnt use the word great to describe it.. or good even .. but its cheap and its warm and its near the middle of town and its filled with other backpackers.. and its away from creepy spanish guys. its 5am.. but since i had no idea what was going on last nite.. i went to sleep at 10pm... so i jsut naturally woke up at 5am =p nothing is open and its still dark and snowy outside... so i figured i may as well blog it up.
a quick flashback...
:: tokyo
this was heaps whirlwind.. i didnt really get to do anything cept buy a snowboard and a naruto headband!!!!!!!§§§ hehe.. it doesnt really fit me though.. grr. i caught up with chito n others and ate ramen and hung out at harajuku to gawk at freaks.. they were heaps more camera shy this time though.. they looked jsut as cool though.. possiblz cooler than last time. i saw this portable xvid player.. i almost bought it on the spot.. it was less than au?400 .. i cant figure out how to make a dollar sign =p anyway it turns out its the same as this shinco one u can buy in Sydnez.. so ill same my travelling monez and buy it back home.
:: london
uh.. this place is totally hectic.. although i did arrive with multiple bags in the underground at peak hour frantically trying to obtain change for my pounds to call Khanh.. even though she had no reception´.. gah.. jsut like sydnez, it swallows ur whole coin if make a call.. so i was like wasting whole pounds to call her and say "where are u?" and then itd cut out. i said to meet at platform 1 at waterloo stn.. which sounded good.. cept there are two platform 1s at Waterloo stn.. wtf? a few pounds later we finally caught up.. phew.. i was glad to dump the luggage. the tube stations look cool inside.. sorta futuristic ´.. but old at the same time..
i hung out with K and scott for a few days.. jsut walking around and hanging out. we ate at Fifteen.. which is Jamie Olivers restaurant. it was by far the most expensive restaurant ive ever been to.. and not even close to the best. it was close to AU500 for 3 of us for 3 courses. and they werent even good. mz entree was ok.. but it was uber oily.. my main was a risotto which was tasty but also as oily as Danny Zukos hair. the dessert was apple crumble.. it wasnt good .. i dunno how else to put it =p
at nite i went to see Les Miserable at the Queens Theatre in Londons west end =) i was heaps excited.. that i didnt even realise i was paying upwards of AU100 for it =p i have to say it wasnt the greatest performance ive seen..singing was average, heaps strong british accents in the middle of songs supposedly sung bz french revolutionaries... the set was incredible though.. it was this giant hogde podge set thing, in two separate parts which thez used for the barricade, but it rotated sideways to make for other back drops. it was awesome looking... up until it broke .. and caused a 20min delay in the show =p
k and s were addicted to this coin game at the arcde.. they have them in sydnez, its the one where u put in a coin and it pushes other coins to maybe get them to fall down. it took 2p coins.. and they mustve spent 5 pounds.. thats 250 coins in this machine.. so dumb.. shakes head. just like japan thez have pokies inside video game arcades.. i dunno the logic behind it.. other than getting kids hooked early.. i guess its a natural progression. what i did find weird was a pokie inside a bakery, on the platform of a train station.. i think thats a bit much =p
:: prague
ive already talked about this place.. and after seeing some more.. its still awesome. todaz im gonna do some crazy running around trying to see the rest of it in 1 day. luckily its not that big, area-wise, so i should be ok. i heaps over=budgeted for prague.. or mazbe ive heaps under-spent? =p its heaps annoying that they dont have euros. stuff is cheap... not crazy cheap, but cheap enough.
i talked to these cool travellers a the hostel where ive stayed.. some germans and a jap guy and a danish guy. theyre all real helpful with finding stuff and getting tickets n such. i feel like ive seen berlin already cos everyone talks about it... grrr.. i wish id planned more days there now.
