    This is my official goodbye. After months of planning, I'm finally leaving! I can't believe it. I might be back once in a while, but you likely won't see much of me until mid-June. If anyone would like a postcard, send me your address and keep an eye on your mail. If I already have your address, then chances are I'll send you a postcard whether you want one or not
    Take care, Gotwoot. Good luck with exams, to everyone that is still writing them. I'll see you all when I get back!
    Do take care of yourself Kit, and we'll be here waiting for your return! In the meantime have fun and enjoy yourself!

    @ Kitkat "You'll be Baaaaaaaack!"

    Seriously though, good luck in the future and out there in that scary 'real world' place. Hopefully you'll still have time to enjoy yourself. We'll all miss you around here.

    Have at it girl.

    I thought I'd give you guys a quick update on my trip. It's been awesome so far. I saw all the London-y things that tourists are obliged to see, and then stopped in Cardiff and wandered around some castles whilst eating Welsh cakes. Now I am in the historic city of York, staying at a university residence, and planning to go out partying with them tonight as many are just finishing their exams. And I got my grades back, and found out that I didn't fail Engineering Economics after all, so I'll be celebrating the certainty of my graduation tonight as well. I miss you guys, I'll try to check back in the next time I'm at a computer.

    You should post a pic of you, a couple of longbowmen (a Briton friend assured me these are still the sharpest edge of the British army) with a castle of your choice in the background.

    I hope the rest of your trip will go as well, and the famous (or infamous rather) British weather will be pleasant enough.

    this is sorta weird and i guess it counts as vacation because technically i'm taking a break from school and what I've been doing for the past couple months...

    I'm returning home for a couple days to the good old USA. Spending some time with family and friends who are still in the old hometown, then going up to school for a weekend. The weekend happens to be the weekend of the school's big concert and my frat's formal, which is always a blast.

    Why would I leave beautiful Europe, get jetlagged going West, shell out tons of dough, get used to the time change, get jetlagged coming back East and then having to cram for my last finals?

    Seniors are graduating. I got to see the aging motherfuckers off, it wouldn't feel right if i didn't do a proper goodbye to the people i've spent about all of college with, some of which only god knows when I'll see again. Oh, and they have no clue I'm coming back, and i've planned out the absolute best time to make my surprise entrance. And I'll be shacking up with my girl up at school, and that's always fun.

    But yeah, the old wallet is taking a beating from this trip... oh well, they say you can't take it with you anyway.

    Hey guys. I guess technically this isn't a vacation, but anyway, I graduated last night and I'm about to pull the plug on my computer and head home. Since we have dial up everything is annoyingly slow so I don't know how often I'll come back to post and whatnot. But it's been fun, even though I've only hung around here for a short time. This forum has made for a great way to procrastinate and get info! Hehe.

    So I bid you toodles (yes, toodles - it's what I say), and have fun downloading!!

    Ahoj e Ahoj!

    I'm going to be in Praha in the Česká republika until some time next week. As such you probably won't see much of me, although I'm sure I'll wind up at an internet cafe to bore you with my stories and immoderate some noobs.

    Here's to the hope that the old Bloc is as cheap as they say it is! (although, since everyone knows Prague as a tourist spot I'm sure even their crappy exchange rate (22 Czech Korun -crowns- to the dollar 28 Korun to the Euro) won't keep them from trying to rip the rich westerners off.

    Ahoj!

    The beer is supposed to be very good there, but don't drink yourself senseless despite of that (well, not too many times, anyway).

    czech republic is everything i hoped it would be.

    tons of beautiful blodne girls, kickass clubs, some nice sights in the city

    best of all, shit is so damn cheap. Beers are around 30 krowns and up thatts like 1.50dollar. i can hardly beleive i can spend so much time and get such great food, go to a club and wind up only spending like 30 dollars in a night.

    Sounds nice Masa. If you liked the women in the Czech republic you should visit Sweden Norway or Denmark, in my opinion Scandinavian girls are the hottest in Europe.

    In 12 days i'm going to Bulgaria to party with my friends. 5kr(swedish money) for one shot of tequila down there, that's like 65 cents, i don't know what the price on a shot of Tequila is in all your home countries but in Sweden it costs you at least 5 bucks at most places.

    EDIT: Okay so today i'm going to Bulgaria, see you suckers in a week!

    Alright, update on where I'm at!

    Last night at 5am, after 42 straight hours on the train/bus, I finally arrived in Vancouver. I have two words that describe my trip: Freight Delay. See, I learned that Amtrak doesn't actually own the railroad tracks. They get to use them for free, and sell very cheap train tickets because of that. The downside is that Union Pacific does own the tracks, and therefore the freight trains always have first priority. We spent a lot of time sitting and waiting for them to go by. This resulted in an accumulated 6.5 hour delay, which the train conductor managed to whittle down to 5 hours by some speedy driving near the end of the trip. My one other complaint is that my train car was minus a billion degrees, and I had trouble sleeping the first night because I was so cold. I was wearing half my clothes - pyjamas underneath jeans, multiple shirts - and I still froze. They fixed it the next day and the following night I slept the sleep of the dead.

    The train journey itself was gorgeous. We wound through the Sacremento River Valley, passed by Crater Lake, travelled high into the Cascade Mountains; every hour brought new and beautiful scenery. Even though it took a really long time, I'm glad I took the train instead of flying. I'm only sad that we came into Seattle when it was dark. I would have liked to see that mountain that Seattle has nearby.

    So yes, lots of fun in Vancouver ahead the next few days! After this, my 7 week vacation is officiallly over, and I have to go back to the real world, and find a job and stuff. *Sigh*
