REALLY short post!
Bonjourno!
Well, here I am in a not'horrible hotel just outside Florence, Italy. Goin' out for a Tuscan dinner in about 20 minutes and then going to an Italian discotech afterwards (it's gonna be ridiculous, I bet). Anyway, we've been spending tons of Euro left and right, I'm barely getting by with washing clothes in the sinks whenever I can (I have two sets of shirts, socks and underwear drying on the very hot balcony as we speak). As always, I'll give the full report once I get home. But let's see how things are at this moment . . .
-Amsterdam . . . it's a dirty, dirty city at night. I went with a group thing and even caught a . . . well . . . a "cultural" show while there. Yeah . . . neat experience. Amsterdam during the day? Gorgeous. Canals are cool, the Anne Frank House is cool . . . the people are cool and speak English.
-Germany has the BEST food ever! We were very well fed there. Also went to the Hoffbrau House (spelling's wrong but I'm on the clock for internet right now) and drank some very large beers. Yes, beer halls in Munich are glorious, seeing as the steins hold ONE LITER of beer apiece. It's cool.
-Went rafting on the Rhine in Austria which was fun. Now funny story: up until this point I had always been saying everywhere that I felt really uncomfortable without mountains, and England and the Netherlands are very flat countries. Well, once you've seen the Alps . . . heh, I cant call the Rocky Mountains mountains anymore! Those things are huge! Yeah, I loved Austria for the short amount of time we were there.
-We were warned that Italy was like, the most dangerous place to get pick'pocketed ever. We've as a group now developed the shout, "Gypsy!" as a sort of inside joke. I haven't been picked yet, though, so I think I'll make it into Switzerland alright.
-Saw the pope, got a picture of him. Saw Roman ruins. Saw the Colesseum, saw gypsies ("Gypsy-formation!"), saw some cool stuff in Rome. The place is dirty as all hell, though . . . heh, Venice too . . . . . Florence? I think that's my favourite so far. Everyone here's so laid-back and I'm sad we only have half a day here.
Anyways, laundry aside I'm doing well and having fun. Everyone here is great and I've made all sorts of new friends yet again. A bunch of Canadians and Americans mostly, though there are also a brother and sister from Brazil. A good selection of Aussies and Kiwis (very fun people). I'll tell ya all about 'em later.
In other news, the weather in Italy is hot as all hell. It's killing us. Sucks. Ah well.
Umm . . . . . European people whom I need to visit next month, I'll message y'all sooner or later, probably once I'm in France. Take care, everyone! Ciao!
(Oh yeah, I love saying things in Italian - pretty language.)
