Bergen, Norway July 6th, 7th, 8th 2010 You know why the Vikings went around plundering treasure? Because they needed all that money back home in Scandinavia to buy things. Everything is so expensive. A small meal is at minimum 100 NOK (Norwegian Krone) which is roughly USD$15+. In restaurants, expect to pay close to 150-200…

Edinburgh, Scotland
Edinburgh, Scotland July 4th, 5th 2010 I can’t pronounce the name of this city. “Edinburr”, “Edinburrow” is how I’ve heard it but look at it, it’s “E-din-BERG”. Ok, all kidding aside, Edinburgh is about as good as it gets when it comes to how beautiful a city can be. When people told me that it…
York, England
York, England July 2nd, July 3rd 2010 It’s the former capital of England before London and reputedly one of the most haunted cities in England. I took a ghost tour and the creepiest part of the whole tour was the guide himself. He was bald, thin, and had an evil-looking face. He also did amazing…
Skipping Scandinavia
I decided about a week ago to skip Scandinavia (except Norway). I wasn’t that interested in it I suppose. Coupled with the great distances to travel (costly) and the area being costly itself already and nothing that really attracts me, I decided to only travel to Bergen (Norway) and then take the train to Oslo….
Liverpool and Manchester, England
Liverpool (June 30th 2010) & Manchester (July 1st 2010) Rivals on the football (uh, I mean soccer) field. Pretty much right next to each other. Not much to see at either (ok, not entirely true). One night spent at each city to get a gist of it (and to make a pilgrimage to the holy…
Bath, England
Bath, England June 27th – 29th 2010 I only came to Bath when Evelyn’s house mate recommended it to me. I heard it was a small pretty town, about 3.5 hours from London by bus. It was also a UNESCO World Heritage and so far, I have not been disappointed by any towns labelled as…
London, England
London, England June 22nd – 26th 2010 What a dramatic start to my stay in London. My flight from Munich was slightly delayed and already being very late at night, I was concerned that I might miss the last underground train linking me to my friend Evelyn’s area. So I get off the plane, go…
Munich, Germany
Munich, Germany June 20th, 21st 2010 If there is one thing you have to absolutely do when in Munich, it’s visiting a beer hall. My hostel was right across the Augustiner brewery, which had its own beer hall, and I was not disappointed by the experience. Roast chicken and pork roasting over open fires, staff…
Salzburg, Austria
Salzburg, Austria June 19th 2010 The birthplace of Mozart. The setting for ‘The Sound of Music’. That’s all I knew of Salzburg. It was as pretty as they say it was. It rained the whole time I was there but there in lay a hidden silver lining. I love arriving to a freshly cleaned hostel…
Vienna, Austria
Vienna, Austria June 17th, 18th 2010 It took me about an hour to get to Vienna from Bratislava. I arrived at a train station all the way across town from where my hostel was at. I managed to take the metro (underground trains) all the way to Hutteldorf, which was on the outskirts of Vienna…
