Luxembourg to Frankfurt, and then...home

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [1788]

It was my final day in Europe today. I actually woke up at 6:00; two hours later than I wanted to. I had to hurry up, so I packed everything, washed up and ran out the door. It was mighty cold out and I get surprised that my tires don't freeze solid. ... Read more >

Week 10: Ich bin ein Berliner

Tue, 5 Feb 2008 | By worldnomad | Views [672]

Berlin isn't picture-postcard perfect by any means.  It has graffitti on its graffitti, and the Soviets joylessly left their funtional concrete, grey mark on the eastern side of the city.  And yet it is Number 1 on my list of places in which I could ... Read more >

I stared through the holes in the remnants of the Berlin Wall. Most of the graffiti had dulled, yet the messages still shone brightly. This was the physical landmark and a figurative symbol. This was the barrier between Western freedom and blue jeans, ... Read more >
