Europe...Finally














Things that are really bothering me right now:
1) The effing loud people I live with (not really their fault shitty apt design).
2) The shitty synthetic pillows I bought at the store.
3) No AC.
4) The Euro.
5) Lack of late night dining.
6) Hulu doesn't work in Europe.

What is making me happy:
1) Food/Beer is mad cheap about 8 euros for a 24 pack?!
2) Everyone bikes.
3) Old city.


Here's the rundown of my travel day, nothing too exciting...
I arrived at Heathrow around 7am after a 7 hour flight from Dulles. Unfortunately, I had to litterally run through the airport in order to catch the connecting flight and could not stop and enjoy the wonderful new T5 terminal. I wasn't able to sleep at all during the over night flight...Then onto Amsterdam! I met my bro bro at the airport and we had lunch, he got to go into the city, free hotel, and have a blast. I got onto a train for 1 and half hours. After getting done with about 12 hours of travel...I know this is not impressive...I had to go to the office and get keys? They couldn't bring me the keys? Dutch is everywhere, but everyone speaks English...so why not make the signs in English (for the most part they are except the important ones). Got to my room...no sheets! Thank god for the German dude Hendrik and his dutch skills, we got sheets and beers and then I crashed...Up for 36 hours...the impressive part.
