So my blog has been a little barren the past couple weeks, not due in any part to a lack of activities I've been undertaking, but unfortunately due to the fact that my Google Nexus One was STOLEN by gypsies while I was walking through the middle of downtown. Efforts to recover it since (cops, visiting local pawn shops where the thieves likely unloaded it), have all proved to be rather fruitless. That phone was my main communication device (both phone and online), music player, gps when I got lost, and most relevant to this blog my only camera. So in terms of posting to this site unfortunately I simply don't have any visual content to entice you loyal readers to keep coming. Though the situation does give me a reason to cover a topic, I had thought I would steer away from, the gypsy situation in Europe (next post).

| Man, I'm going to miss the hell out of this phone :'( |
The whole month in general has been something of a loss as it's been marked with:
- My wallet being lost the week before my phone incident (though it was returned to me a couple days later ID and cards intact but missing about $250 in cash).
- Saying bye to my "European BFF" who has gone off to Argentina to be with her bf (a former trainee like myself), both of whom I'll admit openly to missing a great deal.
- An overload of incidences regarding minor annoyances at miscommunication/ incompetence
- Some other emotional junk that I won't get into on such a public posting
Events of the last few weeks that deserve mentioning, but have no pictures to share about.
- Czechoslovakia Independence day = free day off work = visit Olomouc, to see fellow trainee, Chris from New Castle to have him show us around his stomping grounds and a couple UNESCO sites like the famous column in the center of the city. Also because of the holiday we got free entrance to a historical art museum, which had some amazing religious relics and really audacious property of the former elite.
- Telc, quaint little village though some Czechs insist that it is a city had a lot of Gothic charm and a lovely park behind a château.
- Vienna part deux
- St Martin's day, and the traditional roasted goose dish

ReplyDeleteyeah like I said the month was so much bad luck it was like I was cursed by gypsies in a B level horror film... karma owes me big time!
hahaha I'm not sure a self respecting straight male can use the term bff without quotes, but the "bff" in question insisted we use the term for each other :p
