• Picking up cats

    Daylight is quite nice isn’t it?  When the sun shines, the air is fresh and clear, the light hits the buildings a certain way.  I’ve forgotten how nice it is, such is my love affair with the dark.  Because I’m Batman. I’ve ventured out to try to find a new pair of converse Chucks.  This …

  • Peer pressure

    It’s a relaxed hostel day and night and I’m actually doing my best to stay in.  I need a night off.  I’ve been working on a few things through the afternoon to try and push through the stuff I need from home, but other than that the day is uneventful.  I power nap until late, …

  • Looking for you

    The dust is settling over the uri-gate scandal.  Mainly because I’m doing my best to laugh it off and get on with my life.  That and I’m kind of pre-occupied with trying to find the girl I met last night.  I’ve discovered to my utter devastation that my Facebook profile was set to private with the details …

  • Pissing in dorm rooms

    I’ve woken up to find someone vigorously mopping with the kind of angry violence associated with a gangland turf war.  Something is banging behind my eyes and I while I try to sleep it off the watery slap of the squeegee isn’t helping.  I’m in a stinking mood, but so is The Cat who comes storming …

  • Foolsball

    I have told a friend of mine here that I am not allowed to leave Olomouc until I’ve beaten him at table football.  The downside of this is he’s a god at the game, and I can’t find a pool table anywhere to get even.  However when we team up we’re pretty unbeatable, and prove …

  • Second best and a sinking ship

    For some reason I’ve taken to smashing glasses in a bar.  It’s actually just a phase.  By phase I mean one night.  I’ve made little headway with organising travel gear to come through and I’m just twiddling my thumbs, so we’re out again with gusto, this time hitting an Erasmus student party.  It’s utter chaos, …

  • Don’t drink and stalk

    I’ve neglected to mention a harmless incident a couple of nights ago my dear readers.  This possibly has something to do with the amount of debauchery I’m subjecting myself too, but more so the fact that every day is rolling into one.  I’m starting to lose the will to live.  I shall be found dead …

  • Students

    The students are starting to return in numbers, turning Olomouc into a totally different beast.  Quiet, lonely bars occupied by a handful of locals and couples have suddenly become populated with life.  Youth.  Parties.  Alcoholism.  I feel like I’m back in freshers week.  It’s either time to stay, or time to get the fuck out …

  • Pretty lights

    Olomouc has a festival on at the moment.  Perhaps I should start doing a little more travel writing and tell you about it.  Basically yesterday, today and tomorrow they turn some lights on in front of some buildings.  Standing from my vantage point outside a McDonald’s, I can see a packed town square, some colourful …

  • Commie disco

    Once again I’ve descended into the depths of club Varna with the infamous Commie disco.  Dragging a few hostelers down with me, it’s a pretty uneventful day/night with nothing remarkable to talk about.  I’m boring myself to tears.
