Friday, September 12th, 2008I am in Budapest right now. The people here have figured out a way around the problem of the public transportation shutting down at midnight. They simply stay out all night until it starts running again. We went to a few fun bars the last couple days. There are two places called Morrisons, and I [...]
Crisis Averted
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008Apparently my card only works in certain ATM machines. I found one today that would take my card even though it failed in the majority that I tried. There is a small crack in my card, and I wonder if some of the older ATM machines are just really picky about it? I still am [...]
RIP: ATM Card
Monday, September 8th, 2008Trip to Europe Tip #153:
Always take a backup ATM card to Europe. You know, in case your only cash source suddenly stops working on a Friday leaving you high and dry. I tried calling the bank today and they said everything is fine with my card on their end, but it doesn’t work. [...]
Trip Pictures
Monday, September 8th, 2008I finally found a card reader so here’s a few pictures from the trip.
Castle in Prague:
Who knew? There’s beer in Krakow:
More to come, but I have to figure out how to do them in bulk.
US Gov’t Takes In Fannie
Sunday, September 7th, 2008Every couple days here, I get the chance to read the news back in the states. Today was more than a little dissapointing when I found out that the US has nationalized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Of course this move was totally expected by just about everyone, no one really knew how it would [...]
Things Are Krackin’ in Krakow
Saturday, September 6th, 2008I am really enjoying Krakow. It is by far the most fun city we’ve been to yet. I think the people here party all the time. For the past two nights, I’ve gotten home at dawn. There are a few guys here who do a nightly pub crawl, and we joined one last night to [...]
Krakow
Friday, September 5th, 2008We arrived in Krakow yesterday at 6:00am following another trip on a night train. Since our eastern europe train pass is good for the whole day when used, it made since to take the train straight to Auschwitz. That was kind of a buzz kill, but I think seeing it was a good idea. The [...]
Go Penn State
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Of course I had to check the scores while I am over here, and I just wanted to let you know how excited I am for Penn State this season. It looks like Michigan has another crappy squad, and Penn State actually has an offense, although they were playing a terrible team. We have a [...]
Prague
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Since my last post, I boarded a night train to Prague. We got a sleeper car with 6 beds. Four British students joined us for the ride to Berlin, and then we had the whole cabin to ourselves for the remainder of the trip to Prague. I actually got some decent sleep once the British [...]
