Revelling in wunderlust

Oh man, getting myself to sit down and write this update has been hard. My laptop has had some problems (not turning on, keyboard not working, fun stuff), so that was hindering me at first... and now, now it's just me. I'm being the hinderance. I just don't know what to talk about. Expect lots of rambling.

I'm in Munich, which is my half-way point, both time-wise and geographically. Prague was amazing, I get warm-fuzzies just thinking about the good times I had there. I miss it already, haha. Vienna was beautiful - ornate, austure buildings and clean/orderly streets (a noticable difference to Berlin). After the craziness of Berlin and Prague I told myself I'd give myself (or really, my liver) some down time, so in terms of socialising Vienna was unremarkable. Vienna was like this: art, art, food, sleep, art all over again. Satisfying.

I've found that what has been standing out for me on this trip to far has been the experiences I've been having with the people I meet, rather than being awed or challenged by my surrounds. I've met some really cool people (Canadians, US-ians, Germans, Irish, etc) and it's those experiences and interactions that make me most happy, and are most fulfulling. Again, satisfying.

Yesterday a small bird fell out of the sky (it hit the pavement with a soft smack) just behind me and a friend from my hostel. It was in shock, so we just held it for a little while (it was in the road, we couldn't leave it), and then it flew away when it was ready.

A few days ago I met up with some people from CouchSurfing and visited some art galleries. Great art, great people. I might never see them again in my life, but that doesn't matter.

Last week I went to a Czech beer festival, had a few steins of beer and then went on the bumper cars with a friend. This one is a warm fuzzy memory.

This is Munich:



And... this is me awkwardly, and abruptly, finishing this post.
Thanks for reading :)
