so far so far

the trip so far until now
feels kind of like a whole new
inspiring experience but also
entirely pointless at the same time

I do not exactly know what I am doing
nor why am I doing this

there are good moments as well as
very strange times hey
I can not explain everything
in one word or it might just
be I am tired hey
now actually very tired

I have to go over this again and again
possibly because I really have no clue
whats going on here

up until now I've met thousands of
new friends thousands of different
people from all over the world

isnt that crazy just to come to think about
dude its like 3 new people every single
motherfucking days

I am that type of person who talks to
everyone hey

as the result of talking to heaps of people a day
,smiling at everyone in one day: how the hell
can some people so fucking boring and makes
me so sick , how the hell do they do that

I do not understand

I do not know how to describe caroline ...
she's just so special .. so different ...
I don't know, she is so stupid but so
cool at the same time .................

what else is on my mind ...

oh I want to skateboard heaps when I
go back to Australia .. talked to some swedish
skateboarding kids today and I told one of
the kid to keep skating , he said you too haha

that kid did a 9 stairs at the station but failed
but he's fearless I like that , not afraid of offending
people, determinded to finish , good one

umm and no I don't understand human
and communication, what is the point of
it sometimes when you really come to
think of it, what do we really talk about
and why do we even talk ....................

it just doesn't make sense
oh I need a break

messages

I sat in the bar pondering the thoughts
of why are we travelling and why are
we here seeing this

but I have no clue haha

we ask so much why
yet ...why not ?

and go out and
things will happen
no one would know
what would happen

what let you down

well man so far on this trip
I've found that whats good about
travelling is you find out so much
more things that you normally
never see , language, people
places, informations

and the other thing is
when you go on traveling
on your own

you seem to always
seek out for a company or a
starnger to talk to since you
know no one in this fresh new town

especially living in a backpacker
everyone seemingly has the need of
sharing their happiness of experiences
during the trip ........

and this is not the thing would
happen when you live in a city or
you live days in a routine ...

I have wondered before that
how different would my life be
if I smile to everyone and talk to them
if I meet every single person in this town
if I go to new places every night or day
if I learn a new thing every day and
share it with someone
if I dance on the street like no one
is watching me
if I sing as loud as I can in the middle
of the road

set yourself on a journey
or just do something ........ find yourself a
company , find yourself a fresh experience
find happiness , find challenges
find what you really seek for

live with passion
live with no regrets
live for the moments
that would never come around again

8 Nov. 2009

ok now I am dealing with transport in France

apparently the easiest way to travel is by train 

in my case, because I am traveling to various 

cities and stopping at each of them for several 

days, it seems like it'd be best for me to get the 

France rail pass, through EUrail from 3 up to 10 days 

in one month period, they do have discount for people who're 

between 17-25, and there's a card you could get 

called Carte 12-25 which cost about €43 to obtain

it offers you a huge discount as you purchase 

rail ticket in France including TGV, SNCF

so now what I am trying to figure out is if I am to

travel by train or bus, because bus passes would 

be cheaper though it does take longer in comparison 

to train of course. I've looked at website like Busabout

and Euroline but I am not too sure how Busabout function 

it doesn't seem like Busabout offer one stop from stop 

but they possibly could i don't know . . . . i gotta call 

them through skype and see how that goes 

then is Euroline, I really don't know whether the offer

regional routines or not ... because whatever I chose one 

way busy trip on the website depart from Paris, there's 

no regional destination shows up that I could chose ...

that's the other thing I gotta figure out .... 

then... I haven't looked up the bus in Sweden

it seems that you could get a trail pass in 

Sweden from EUrail as well, but I don't know 

what's the operating company, so gonna find 

that out as well 

um i guess as soon as i decide how to travel

around, i could work how long it takes to each

place, and how long im gonna stay at each town

um i gotta look for towns i wanna visit as well 

because it has to work with the trail passes 

so to sum it up ...

sweden bus, how busabout work 

how euroline work, towns im going,

what to see and shit
