844 days, 20,256 hours, 1,215,360 minutes, or 72,921,600 seconds. That is the approximate duration of my world tour. I never wanted it to end and now, in a manner of speaking, I suppose it never has to. If you wish to go by country do so by clicking on one above. They are numbered in the order I visited them, more or less. If you enjoy reading about it even a tenth as much as I enjoyed living it then you will not have wasted your time. Grab a refreshing beverage, settle in a comfortable chair, and make a journey across the world, experiencing it as I did. Then get off your ass and check it out for yourself. You're not getting any younger.

Not Feeling So Prague-ish (Prague, Czech Republic)

September 8th, 2010 - Adventure? I think folks pruning their roses are more adventurous than I have been lately. Ever since I hit Europe I've been a bit sluggish. I think it is all the civilization and convenience I've been bombarded with. I've become soft. And just like Southeast Asia started to run together so it is with Europe. I don't have to carry around my own poop paper. People generally understand what I'm saying. I am only bewildered and confused 30% of the time. F*** that.
After Telc I returned to Prague and spent a few more nights couchsurfing with Radka, after which I booked a room at the Czech Inn. Get it? I'm checked in to the Czech Inn. F^%#ing brilliant. Not a bad place but a bit overpriced. Welcome to Prague. I was here 14 years ago. Things have changed. Want to like Prague? Stand on St. Charles Bridge at 6:30 am on a clear cool morning. Want to hate Prague? Stand on St. Charles Bridge on a warm sunny day around noon. I almost felt like I was at a rock concert except the band never showed up. This is true of all the sites in central Prague. After 10 am you'll pretty much be dry humping the person next to you as you try to savor the view.
