Coming Home

[Eoin]

I've decided to come home. I'll be back October 17.

I was thinking a lot about trying to get to Russia, do the trans-
Mongolian rail, see Mongolia, and get into China. But a few things
stood in my way. The Russian visa. Complicated. The Chinese visa.
Just some more money. And the Winter. This was the breaking point.

Its already cold here in Central Europe. And I caught a cold too.
Russia, Mongolia, and China would be much colder. And being a
traveler, I would be more exposed to the elements. I decided I should
save this for another time.

I bought the ticket the other day, only 300 dollars! In the meantime,
I will be seeing Poland and Ukraine, and then making it back to
Germany to fly from Berlin to Dublin, then Dublin to New York, and
then China bus to Philadelphia.

By the way, Prague sucked. I think it has been my least favorite
place so far. It is just a tourist town. Large tour groups getting
in the way. Lots of shitty photographs. Every building is either a
souvenir shop, an exchange office, or a restaurant. And I dont even
like Pilsner Urquell. The buildings and main bridge are nice to look
at, but the city is just an empty shell. Like Venice. Big
disappointment.

Maybe January would be a good time for South America.
