heeeey there my aussie friends, and non aussie friends.
my last post was cologne, yeah?
well im tired assss but i figur its about time i did another one of there.
right off the bat... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
sooo, i spent 4 nights in cologne... 1st in a crappy hostel, then 2 in one with free internet, and met lots of cool people there. couple of americans and aussies.
the hostel was booked out the 4th night so i moved with a cool cat named Karl, who was aussie, to another hostel. i pretty much sampled all the hostels cologne has avaliable. i should write for lonely planet.
anyway, cologne was fun.
then on new years eve i caught a lift with a german girl to rotterdam in the netherlands.
i got to ride on the auto barn!!!!!!!!!
lol, fun fun fun.
so got to the hostel on new years eve, chucked my stuff down, then went and met up with another aussie.
he had a big bag of fire works.
netherlands have legal fireworks.
it was a fucking awesome night.
we walked around drinking and letting them off.
then did some amsterdam type kinda stuff...
then checked out an anti squat party... which was like in this half built office building, which was pretty awesome. lots of people from couchsurfing there, so as always was an awesome crowd.
for the count down we were in Neumarket square though.
there was like... a massive circle of people, and in the middle thousands of fireworks were being let off my people.
you'd light it, run in, then run out.
then there were people dancing in the middle of the circle, which was funny.
umm, then yesterday i just hung out. met up with a couple, belinda and alex, who live here and they generously offered me a couch to sleep on last night which was fantastic. dead set champs.
we went on a walking tour today which was pretty cool.
then tonight i went out with 2 italian guys from the hostel im staying at atm.
lol, it was funny.
i need to learn more italian.
but yeah, im having a fucking FANTASTIC time.
no credit left though, so cant msg anyone, sorry.
will be in bruge (hopefully) on the 5th... then paris by aboooout the 12th.
what did everyone do for new years.
