So after a long and relaxing break at home, I'm back on European soil. I brought back presents (like the amazing cough that I've been fashioning for the last two weeks). I sound like I'm dying, and being up for 36 hours straight with jet lag didn't help. So while most of St. Andrews is studying for finals, I'm doing a little different form of studying. I'm hitting the road (well, more like the skies and the rails) to explore Eastern Europe first hand. Yes, you heard me right. I've got two and half weeks to spare and some money saved up from last semester.
The official "itinerary" is out: Krakow, Budapest, Prague, Vienna, and Bratislava. Yes, all of that in 18 days. What's more, I'll be doing it all in the nearly artic tundra that is Eastern Europe.
I'm gonna try this blog a little different than previous ones. First, I'm gonna actually try to update while things are happening, rather than waiting three or four weeks to update you on a trip. This daily updating thing, while overwhelming, may actually be good for me. You see, it gets dark at like 4pm. So there really isn't a ton to do in the evenings. So hopefully that will give me some time to "reflect." (If I had a therapist, she'd be so proud.)
What does this mean for you? Two things: 1) the updates are going to be shorter. This means no excuses for all of you that say my posts are too long. 2) fewer or no pictures in the blog for a while...this is going to disappoint most of you, i know. It will all depend on whether the hostel i'm staying at has the ability to upload pictures.
Let's go!
