My Europe Backpacking Trip
& My Ideal Eastern Europe Trip
on a_ronaghi's travel map.
So last time I left this travel blog, I had gone to Prague. Ever since that moment, I have been to Krakow (Poland), Bratislava (Slovakia), Wienna (Austria), and now I am currently in Budapest.
I have taken tons and tons of pictures! Like i am upto like 1000 I think now.. I think its time to do my first batch of upload soon.
(It won't be on facebook, prolly like picasa).
So we got to Krakow and we got into this really cool Hostel oh! wait, first we had a night train for 9 hours, then we got there. IT was the worst train ride and sleep I have ever gotten. I got like 2 hours of sleep and the bed was horrible and I woke up with a bruise. Bummer....
Then we get to krakow, find the hostel and then we went on a daily walking tour. Befriended these australian people and a canadian guy named brendan (his name will come up later). We then went out during the night with the person who worked at the hostel, AMAZING chick, energetic and really fun. Brendan our friend, however missed out checking out the engagement ring and tried to dance with her countless amount of time. Amin being aware of everything and everyone at all times, noticed the ring!
Then we got back and I passed out, woke up in the morning and
hung out and chilled, (don't quite remember what we did). Then we went on a jewish tour and went to all the places Shindlers list was recorded and all the scens and stuff. It was really cool and it was pretty interesting. Then the day after we came back, relaxed, watched some football (Well that happened everynight) and went to sleep. The day after, we decided to go to aushwitz and birkenau concentration camps and it was two hours out of the city. It was really sad and I almost threw up because it was just SOOO emotional. Anyways, it was a really good experience to have seen it and grasp what really happened there. So far, like we have seen 3 jewish ghetto's too, so I think its really important to have seen all of this. You really wouldn't understand how huge this all is until you see it.
Then the night, we procedeed to check out Krakow's night life and it was great. WE went to a couple of clubs and such, and we met this guy Tiago at the hostel from Portugal. It was his birthday so we drank a ton and then went out with the australian chicks and brendan. Then we partied, me and ALex got separated and I went to this club with Tiago where we met some cool people and such. Me and Alex got separated which was really sad, but I was just better dressed DUUUH.
Then I got back to the hostel at 3.30 and I saw Brendan in the common room. We started to talk about french people (Half french, who lives in canada) and how annoying the are when one of the australian girls came out and was like "AMIN GET YOUR FRIEND OUT OF MY BED!". And I was like Waiiiiit whaaaat, Alex is naked in his bed, and she was like "NOO He is NAKED In my bed". I was like no way, checked, saw that Alex was in his own bed and then I asked her watsup. IT was Tiago who had decided to strip naked and jump into her bed, starting to kiss her and then whip his dick out. THAT was hilarious and it was quite awk in the morning since he had no idea what he did.
Anyways, we proceeded to go to Bratislava, which wins the award BORINGEST CITY EVER. Holy shit that city sucked. I mean they have gotten beaten by commies for hella long but shiiiit it was baad. We tried to go out on a saturday night and the only place everyones talking about is SubClub.
Now you may ask, what is subclub?? It was a soviet bunker, under bratislava castle which was turned into a rock club. We walked in, walked through different holes and tunnels until we got to a poorly ventilated place and the DJ playing "The roof is on fire".
WE chilled and met some british girls and started talking to them when this CREEPY ass Slovakian guy just puts a shot infront of me. I refuse to drink it so he comes next to me and start talking Slovakian to me... I was so confused and then when I tried to tell him amerikan, he said No no YOU SLOVAKIAN. so he was convinced and then I said this waws my only night in bratislava. Pretty much this creepy ass guy bought 5 shots throughout the night, convinced that I was a slovakian who was acting I was amrican.
I then proceeded to run away from that sketch place with alex becase I was really scared of him raping me or something.
Alex then remembered he forgot his ipod touch in Krakow.
So we called and told Brendan (the canadian guy, who lives in Wienna) to bring back the ipod to Vienna. Vienna is 1 hour away from Bratislava so we decided to pick it up there. Then we stayed there a night, I visited my relatives who live there, and then we went off to Budapest.
Wiener Shnitzels are delicious bythe way. And I will take my future wife to Vienna. IT Was so beautiful!
So yeah, we got to Budapest, then went to sleep. We went on a walking tour and saw everything and then went to a public bath. Now when I say bath, its a gigantic bath house, (not SF style). Around 2000 people where there and it has all kinds of sauna's and jacuzzi's and mineral hot spring water. It was just amazing!
Then we went out for the night, Me and alex had a $3 Vodka, which was HORRIBLE, but it went down and it etertained my night. We also met some brasilians and they are so fun! The guys name is Bruno, and he looks and acts exactly like the Bruno we have watched on film. It's really funny not laughing lookin at him hahahah.
Anyways, we went out, had fun, and now alex made me food, hella good pasta and we are planning to go to the Terror museum. Tomorrow were going to Romania and that will be interesting
Aight til the next travel update,
Peace
