Sadly, this isn’t the kind of adventure where you go in a sewer and laundry attacks you but you kill it with your flashlight.
When I got this apartment in Athens, it came with a washing machine in it which I assumed would make it easier for laundry. Unfortunately for me, all the buttons and switches [...]
I’ve been in Athens for about 3 weeks now and since my command of the Greek language could be described as something less than masterful, I’ve been trying to meet some young english-speaking people or expats I could hang out with. I was a little surprised to find that there is a craigslist for Athens, [...]
Make the world stop spinning! Well, I’ve moved again and now I ended up in Athens.
Slightly nicer in that it’s a big city and not quite as expensive as Switzerland, slightly less nice because it’s Athens.
It’s always interesting trying to make long term plans when from month to month I’m not even sure what country [...]
What do you do when you really want to build a church but you don’t have any wood or stones lying around?
Let’s build it out of bones! I went to Kutna� Hora (not far from Prague) to see the famous church made out of bones. We also saw St. Barbara’s Church (not made out [...]
New Year’s in Prague was a blast, literally!
Prague is a very fun city with an interesting mix of old and new. It’s hard to describe it in a way to do it justice, so here are some pictures from the city:

The fireworks show in Prague is pretty much provided by the attendees. [...]
Weekend in Zurich visiting a friend. Awesome city, lots of fun. Relatively brief summary since the parents might be reading…
Over the weekend I took a trip up to Bern, which is the capital of switzerland, to look around. Bern’s a pretty cool place because it didn’t get bombed back to the stone age in WW2, so it’s still got an old look to it. Here’s some random photos I took while I was there [...]
Most of the country music fans that I’ve met were confined to 2 or 3 states in the south, so you can imagine my surprise when I got to Gstaad and discovered that their country music festival is one of the big events of the year. All the big country music acts come from around [...]
I had a minor amount of culture shock when I went to an ATM in Switzerland today. In the US, if you go to an ATM the default amounts to withdraw are $20, $40, etc up to $200 or so. When I went to the ATM here, the default amounts to withdraw in CHF were [...]
As most of you have probably heard a million times by now, I moved to switzerland! I just got to Gstaad today, which is where I know a few people. I’m going to spend a month or two here while I scout out some other places, and eventually I’m planning to end up in Zurich.
Gstaad [...]
