Prague bound

Today we saw the AFHO (anne frank house) it was very eery as everyone was silent throughout. Mike and I waited in line for 30 minutes while obright was again shopping. The shopping delayed jordan and we met up after seeing the anne frank house.

Mike and I are in the amsterdam library as obright walks around with our buddy jeff trying to find something sentimental (to help satisfy his female side). To give you an idea of how ridiculus this town is, the library is on an island that is impossible to get to. We had to take a train across half the town and then walk across a river and under a bridge. And all that put us on the wrong side of the building.

All of this sums up to: --> Lets just get the fuck out of this place.

So as you can imagine, we are looking forward to Prague which is supposed to be one of the most beautiful places in the world ... unfortunatley for me i dont really give a rats ass about natural beauty or museums..... unless you are talking about women, in which case you have my full attention and appreciation.

Our flight leaves amsterdam at 9 and we will be posting photos once we get there... but watch the video of us all at the heineken brewery cause it is hilarious

Stay classy toronto

Backwards city

Amsterdam is the Disney world for degenerates. You can get/do anything
here except for much needed antibiotics. The theme of the last 24hrs
is waiting; yesterday me and shaf waited at the hospital for hrs for a
feminist dr to tell me that she only prescribes antibiotics for
emergencies and that my stomach infection (that I likely got from
sadomizong a chicken) would have to be dealt with back home. Only in
Amsterdam can a person buy drugs and sex legally, but can't get much
needed stomach meds. I wish the dr Had entered a washroom that I had
chyrnoboled in, not for the sake of getting drugs from her, but more
so that I could have put her down like a sick dog.

Back to the theme... Waiting. As I type this on shaf's iPhone, we are
waiting to enter Anne frank's house. My visual /spacial retartedness
has made this a gruelling process. We are almost in now. I am glad
there is a big line, as it seems the world is quickly forgetting the
holocaust, or has stopped caring all together. Anyhow time to stop
work on the diary to focus on on someone else'.

Were off to Prague tonight, we're pumped to party with beautiful
girls, sip absenth, and hopefully encounter a place where doctors get
their degrees from an educational system and not from giving felatio
to sailors.

That's it for now.

Wiener out.

day 2 of amsterdam anddddd loving it

so far we have had an amazing time in amsterdam. we've met a ton people and made lots of friends. the culture here is so different. the city has all of these parts that are wide open and beautiful. the canals are everywhere with boats and very scenic. amsterdam has lots to offer, including history, tradition, culture and overall goodtimes. we went on a walking tour today and saw any interesting things in amsterdam and also took a bunch of pictures as good memories. at this point, we have alot of pictures and memories, so its getting tough to write everything that we are doing on the blog. we hope all of our friends and family are enjoying are stories, pictures and jokingly ways of describing our journey. the 3 of us are having an overall great time, the hostel we are at is god and we have 3 other roomates, whom we are friends with now. the 3 romates are jeff who is from taiwan, rick who is from columbia and laura is from argentina. whats interesting most about amsterdam is that its my first time at a real hostel. in france we stayed at mikes place..its barcelona we stayed at mikes friends place cornelia and now we are really doing the hostel experience. its important to note the incredible shabbat dinner we had last night in a part of amsterdam called abcoude. we had shabbat dinner at mikes families place. they were great hosts, very hospitable and curteous. its so nice to have met such a good and kind jewish family in europe. this is all so new to me, exploring the world is definitly what its cracked up to be. learning about amsterdam through many different ways such as people living there, tour guides, other tourists (which there are tons) and exploring on our own gives me such a new perspective on europe and how things are hetre. i cant deny enjoying it because life out here definitly different and has its appeals. anyways, we are in amsterdam for another 2 days and are off to prague shortly. mike's friend tomas in prague has really set up an itinerary for us and its looking like prague is going to be incredible. a little shout out to my family who are keeping up with this blog, love you lots and miss you, thinking of you always. cant forget a shout out to my friends and the families of alex and mike, thank you for keeping up with our blog and cant wait to tell the stories and show the pics of our trip. most importantly, joyce, i love you very much and i am thinking about you always. all the best and i'll be blogging again shortly :)

In Amsterdam

We have arrived in Amsterdam and we met some girls both on the train
before we got to the airport and some more on the plane.

The group of girls on the train to the airport were from Montreal and
would not stop talking for the entirity of the 40 minute train ride.
It just so happens that they are staying at our hostel in amsterdam.
Hopefully they stop talking because of all the local 'coffee'.

The girls we met on the plane were from the states and are staying
just down the road from our hostel. They seemed nice but had no idea
how to buy a train ticket or navigate through an airport so we won't
be seeig them anytime soon.

The plane ride over was one to forget. Right infront of the three of
us was a baby who didn't stop crying once over the course of the
flight. Not even obrights explosive gas could keep the baby quiet.
Meanwhile me and wiener had our heads in our shirts.

Once we got to our hostel, we headed for some fast food and are about
to go for shabbat dinner with mikes extended family.

Our last evening in Barcelona

So before our exciting night started, our day was very adventurous....Alex and Neil were trying to get me to drink as much as possible, Neil is a fish and alex wasn't far from it either. They got three tall glasses of sangria in me at the beach and by that point i was ready for a nap, so on our way back to where mike and jess were relaxing on the beach, alex and neil got a bottle of wine and were unable to get me to have any...we got back to mike and i passed out. i wake up about an hour or so later, the sun is coming down, its about time to leave and to my amazement, alex and neil have had 4 bottles of wine between the 2 of them, needless to say, alex and neil were in a great mood. we made our way back to Corneilia's and got ready to go out for dinner.
So we went out for dinner to an amazing restaurant called L'Olive, mike and i had ordered something from the menu that required a minimum of 2 ppl to order, it was a huge t-bone steak, very delicious. The rest of dinner was very adventurous aswell and definitly better told in person..we hope you ask us about this. We just got back to Corneilia's and its 4 a.m in barcelona. we have to be up at 7 a.m for our flight to amsterdam tommorow, so i'm off to bed.......a little hint on the rest of the night includes alex and neil going to bar on there own and mike, myself and jess going to mike's friends Lisa for wine and chilling, what happened to alex and neil? well lets just say it was messy and alex required a new shirt from neil.

son of a beach

As I write this post, Shafran is trying to rescue Obright, who somehow locked himself in the washroom and cant get out. Shaf is about to Bruce Lee the door, this is not going to be pretty...

Past few days in Barca have been wild. We've been beach bums all day each day. The beach has been looking like an FHM shoot give or take bikini tops whick has plastered a semi permanent smile on Obright's face.

Nite 1 here, I took the boyz to a fun hangout called Chuptos bar. Its a shooter bar frequented by many backpackers and was one of the first places I partied in Barca when I moved here for school in the fall. We hitup Roxy, a niteclub I had never been to before, because Cornelia convinced us she could hook up VIP... turns out VIP entails sneaking in when the bouncer is not looking.

Yesterday evening we went to my girl Lisa's place for a BBQ and night of drinking. Me and the Shafranator cooked up a storm featuring Beer Butt Chicken... essentially we sadomised a chicken with a beer can and slow roasted it. It turned out amazing and was a huuuge hit with the ladies and the crew of gay party guys who were there.

Before dinner while me and the Shaf were buying the bbq goods, we noticed what we thought was a half naked hobo froliking and lathering lotion on its skin outside the front glass window of the grocery store. Everyone in the store and checkout line were staring. As we get outside we realise that its a sunburnt obright and not a hobo displaying exhibitionism... unfortunitely he is the trip cameraman.. no pics

we are about to meet Neil and Jess Landis for dinner at my favourite restaurant in Bcn called L'Olive. They joined us for beach chills today... Alex and Neil competed in a wine drinkoff... livers were injured, so were eardrumbs of bystanders.

Its our last night in Bcn, tomorrow we head to Amsterdam where we will join distant unmet family of mine for a dutch shabbat dinner. Although leaving Bcn is a weird feeling for me as it has become my home away from home, we are excited to move on with our trip and keep the adventures and stories coming. Keep posted, stay jealous.
