BON VOYAGE to MOI

(14 aug - 07 sept)

I am leaving on a three week whirlwind trip to Europe and will be covering the following countries (says the man sooo modestly to readers who aren't the least bit interested)




Germany : The Frankfurt Airport is the 1st (and also the only airport i presume) with an X rated cinema in the premises. Dont think i will check it out though. Promise.



Finland: A collegemate of mine is there and he allegedly has a house on the beach with a sauna (which i'm told is the norm in finland) so lots of swimming in the arctic sea and recovering in the sauna later.



Italy: Rome, Vatican (will give the Pope the message from HM King Gyanendra), Florence, Pisa & Venice. The gondola rides in venice are apparantly 60 euros per person per hour so dont expect any pictures of me in them. Leaning against one maybe as also againt the tower of Pisa.



France: Paris (questions, questions....will the Mona Lisa be worth the hype, is baguette a whole meal, do the French drink wine for breakfast) Bordeaux/Champagne (but of course), Nice (very nice hopefully)



Monaco: Monte Carlo. Will try and do my best "The Name is Bond. James Bond!" impression outside the grand casino.

Belgium: Brussels. Will petition the EU to adopt Nepal since no one in Nepal seems to want to govern it.

Holland: Amsterdam. Any place where smoking cigarettes is banned in public cafes but marijuana is OK and where the Sex industry is the 3rd highest revenue earner CANNOT be bad or missed.

And while i was surfing the net for different things (not porn) i came across this little list prepared by some faceless person.

Interesting. Very Interesting.

Till I get Back.....

Ciao, Bientot & Tcuss

Luv & Peace

THINGS TO ALWAYS HAVE WHEN ABROAD

20 dollars in paper money (Cairo)
“What do you mean you don’t take coins for the visa fee? How am I supposed to pay it then?”



A good sense of humor (Seoul)
“Hey, I know it’s late. I just arrived and my friend isn’t coming and now I don’t have a place to stay. No, I don’t speak any Korean. Hm? Oh, I’ll manage.”

A good map (Barcelona)
“I swear, its only two more blocks down this narrow and dark alley. I know I said that 5 blocks ago.”

A cell phone (Frankfurt)
“Hey its me; I’m stranded in Frankfurt. Yes, again.”

A strong stomach (Vienna)
“Yes, I hear her coughing her lungs out as she makes our food. No, I don’t think its tuberculosis. I hope.”

A camera (London)
“Somebody’s doing what in their pants outside? No way!”

A clear reason for being where you are (Israel & the Palestinian Territories)
“Why did I come? Oh, you know, just to hang out… What do you mean you’re searching my bags again?”

Aspirin (Dublin)
“You know, maybe being a whiskey taste tester at the Jameson factory wasn’t so hot an idea…”

A sense of adventure. (Buenos Aires)
“No seatbelts in the cab, huh? Ok, no worries. Wow, did he really just turn right across 5 lanes of traffic?”

Your towel
“If you want to survive out here, you've got to know where your towel is.”
