So I am 15 days into my Euro-Trip...
<long read>
Let me just start by saying Europe > Canada I started off in Bordeaux, France a few weeks ago, staying with a total stranger that I met over www.tranceaddict.com. Turns out she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Bordeaux is situated in southwestern France, about 60 kms away from the Atlantic. Stayed there a few days, she introduced me to her friends, all awesome people. Anyways, I ended up going to the beach with her the next day, nice drive, nice talk along the way. We got there and it was windy, very sunny, but windy. My skin does not accept sun very nicely so I usually wear sunblock but since it was so windy and it was a cold wind, I did not realize how badly the sun was actually beating down on me...more about that later. Anyways, she is into every kind of music I am into...Cosmic Gate, Judge Jules...she also loves trance, prog and house...all good shit. So we are just laying there on the beach for hours on end listening to my cd player with all this good shit on it. When we get up to go to grab a bite to eat..she noticed that I am red as fuck...I mean my entire front side...red as a fucking lobster...it was crazy. I could not sleep that night or the night to follow, everytime she touched me, it hurt like a motherfucker (...;)). So I could not sleep for two days due to my extreme pain, and nonetheless, she would still visit me, I even had blisters on my right side of my chin from the sun it was that bad...and she still came to see me...what a nice girl...HUGGS! She also introduced me to her family and her bro. Bro is an awesome guy as well, about my age. I introduced him to the gym, think he liked it. Everbody in Bordeaux smokes! I mean everybody... On my 2nd to last day there, me, her and her bro drove down to Spain, St.Sebastian (Party Capital of Spain) and it was fucking SICKNESS. We went sightseeing a bit, walked along the beach (me with 50 sunblock on due to lobster-syndrome) but when the sun went down, the party began. Met some of her friends there that also went in a separate car down in St.Sebastian...really great place if you wanna forget about your worries and get fuckered ;)..Also did some dine'n'dash ;) Anyways, to sum up Bordeaux... - Everybody Smokes - Chicks are Hot - Nice Beaches - Cheap compared to Paris.... I was going to Paris for 1 day after, just to sightsee a bit. Took me about an hour to book a fucking hotel cause nobody speaks English there, or atleast pretends not too... the 'hotel' was actually a hostel, for which I paid 50 EUROS for 1 night...wtf...food is expensive there too..I paid 10 Euros for a burger, fries, and a pop...that is 16 CDN$ kiddies... Eiffel Tower was nice, especially when it sparkles..was a nice 1 hour walk to get there too, nice city in general. Sat around the tower and watched all the tourists marvel at it..including myself...heh. THERE ARE NO TANKS IN FRANCE, I was the biggest guy there and I only weigh 85 KGS. All a bunch of little sissy-boys ;) To sum up Paris... - VERY nice scenary - $$ as FUCK - $$ as FUCK - Learn French before you go (exagerating a bit...but English is not very popular there nonetheless). Next stop was Amsterdam...FUCK YA!!! My buddy Titus picked me up from a rail station 20 min drive out from Amster. Amster 0wnz All ;). For the first couple of days, all we did was play poker, counterstrike and drink until we passed out...was good times :) The next day, we had hash brownies...this was an experience of a lifetime. We went to a 'coffee shop' and there were menus...yes...MENUS with the kinds of drugs you wanted to buy...we bought plenty. So him and his friend started making the shit when we got back home and I was playing more online poker. Took pics of the baking process, etc, good times. Thing is though, I had not done any drugs in about a year (including pot/hash) but since its Amster, and its legal, I decided to take a few pieces of cake...nothing happended...so a few more pieces...uh-oh... I forgot that digestion takes a lot longer than inhalation..so it hit me like a brick about an hour later. We went to dinner downstairs with his parents/sisters (sisters = HOT) and I was so quiet, parents asked, I told, they all had a nice laugh...I can#t believe that taking hash is not frowned upon there...Awesome stuff. For the rest of the night, we played poker, I was all sketchy and paranoid from the shit..heh...also drank a lot of Absinthe...yikes! The day before I left, we went to Amster again...this time at night. DAMN. Red Light District > Main/Hastings when it comes to weird shit...you can not even compare. There are about 100 sex shops/something to do with sex in a 1 km street. We got asked to buy pills/cocaine about 10 times...seriously...in about half an hour. We went to the Weed Museum..that was an experience I will remember *hooray free samples* and we also went to the sex museum. In the RLD..prostitues advertize themselves in windows and guys just walk in and do their thing. They actually stand in the windows and show off their goods :) For obvious reasons...I did not see much Architecture To sum up Amsterdam... - Ownage - Absinthe = Ownage - More bikes than people (fact) - EVERYBODY speaks English - Drugs are Legal (obviously not all) - Nuff Said Next stop was Hamburg Staying with an online buddy I met through Magic Cards (yes, I said it). Great guy, crashed at his place for a few days... Unluckily for him, it was his Bday..Unluckily cause I'm Polish. So, when his bday came the day after I arrived...I fucked his shit up. I got him so drunk that he forgot where he lived so we walked around Hamburg for hours on end until I sobered up a bit and called a taxi...we were a 5 min walk away from his house...you get the idea. The following night, more peopel came over and we played card games with tequila/ouzo/vodka mix shots for the worst hand. These shots were nasty shit, even for me (3 shots in 1 coffee cup) and after about an hour, someone finally threw up and the game stopped. Played a lot of Magic there too..and a lot of poker..ofcourse. To Sum up Hamburg... - Overall Cheap - Have their own Red Light District - Good Transportation Now I am in Berlin..can not say much about it yet as I just arrived last night..but so far so good. Next Stop Vienna...then Eastern Europe, including Greece then final stop in Poland. Have a good summer guys/gals! </long read> PS: Yes, I have lots of pics. PPS: If you have the money, travel!
