I would like to conclude my two month European Journey by listing what I have learned, experienced, and thought.
- I realized that I hate writing. To extract what is in my head to my satisfaction in writing is a very overwhelming and stressful process for me.
- When traveling alone, Books can become your best companion. I highly recommend reading, “The Heart and Soul” by Maevi Binchy and “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac
- Many “friends” you meet during traveling sadly becomes “oh, he/she is just someone that I met in _______ “
- “Smile, the world will smile with you. Cry, and you will cry alone.” I find this quote to be quiet true here in these foreign lands far away from home.
- Italians railroad system is consistently unreliable. It is not because the train in itself are bad, they are actually terrific. It is the Italians that are lazy.
- Hitler was truly a bastard.
- Eastern Europe is highly underrated. Go there.
- Prune juices truly have the power of “giveth and taketh away” WARNING: NEVER DRINK TOO MUCH PRUNE JUICE. NEVER.
- Eating good meal is the best medicine for the tired soul.
- Blow-up neck pillows are the MUST HAVE travel essential.
- In Switzerland, they build their bridges with explosives built into them. If anyone tried to invade Swiss through the Alps, all they have to do is blow it up. Also, if you are a heroine addict of more than 10+ years in Swiss, Government will provide you with clean heroine.
- Is it coincidence that the Financial hub of Germany is also the central location of Germany’s red light district?
- American chocolates are S&%$
- American fruit juices are THE S&%$
- Some European men have the skinniest legs with skinniest jeans to go with it.
- Pigeons are seriously Effing gross.
- I hate TopDeck. I really do. TopDeck is a tour group made up of 18-20 years old Australians who travels all over big Europeans cities in a giant buses mainly to DRINK, PARTY, BE OBNOXIOUS, BE RUDE, and DISRESPECTFUL. They like to believe that they are experiencing the World, or at least thats what they proabably told their parents.
- Americans and Australian tourist are the most disrespectful, ignorant, arrogant, and rude group of people. It is mainly due to their imperialistic minds. You will find New Zealanders and Candians to be very likable and respectable.
- Excluding waiting at the station and metro rides, I have been inside of train/bus for approximately 8 days, 5 hours, and 42 minutes during my Europe travel.
- The film, “7 pounds” made me realized how blessed I am to be traveling.
- “crying baby” is included in every overnight bus for free!
- I am so appreciative of God constantly leading me to meet people with such a warm hearts. I hope to be someone that God leads others to, to experience the warmth of a heart.
These are just few of many thoughts that went through my head. There are so much more…
I am learning to really appreciate my opportunity to travel. There will be many challenges up ahead in next 3 months, but I will run towards it with a big smile and conquer it.
Thanks for all your support.
NEXT STOP: New Delhi, India
I hate Americans :(
