Continue reading →: Jordan! Level of Touristy-ness: HIGH
After the almost-deadly ride to the border, I have crossed it successfully, tried to hitchhike and – maybe for that reason – got an incredible deal from a taxi driver who even shared some of the amazing Turkish/Arabic/[not to sound ignorant] Oriental coffee with me on the way. I’ve reached…

Though I’ve been to some places already, I don’t really have many stories that I myself would call adventures. The inquiry “tell me about your adventures” would always leave me confused. The times I was enjoying buckets of local whiskey in Southeast Asia? Or the time I was freezing on…

Continue reading →: Palestine Series No 2. Bethlehem: The Wall
I was thinking for a while whether I should blog about this. You know, to jump from pseudo-travel stories to something that could be called political. In my previous post, while talking about my trip in general I said there were many things I wanted to write about and that…

Before I dive into this avalanche of posts I’ve been meaning to write about my trip to the Middle East, let me give you a brief intro. Officially, I was here for my MA research. Unofficially, I was here for any other reason, including “why not?” and some desire to…

Continue reading →: The Ultimate Test (not really)
A winter at home – how exciting! It’s been, after all, whole three years since I was home during Christmas time, so (I thought naïvely then), I’ve missed the snow (didn’t see too much of it in Thailand…), I’ve missed the cold, my coat, my winter boots, oh man, I’ve…

In contrary to helpful Buddhist teachings, I have been secretly denying the reality in which I have chosen to come back to since almost three months ago: I am in school again. However, my previous blog entry wasn’t about how I’m doing my readings, taking TV show episode breaks, and…

I was originally planning on having one entry about my first weeks in Budapest. You know, to tell you more about how I discovered Szimpla, realised that it’s not a good idea to try to look at the Parliament building from the Pest side of Budapest, checked out A38 and…

Continue reading →: Closing the Gap
That’s it. It’s September. I’m in Budapest, there are several articles printed out – in the greenest format possible, no worries – on my desk awaiting to be read, coffee to be drunk just to get me in the mood of studying, and Facebook opened just to sabotage that futile…

(Yes, I will begin again my promoting some band I’ve recently discovered. In my head, it is related to this entry as it was one of pieces of the soundtrack of my bus ride. How much sense it makes for you is something I refuse to question) Fighting laziness and…

Continue reading →: Berlin + Buses + BFFs
During an eighteen-hour bus ride I found some time to reflect on matters deeper than how come the vast majority of movies on the bus TV are so shit. As the wheels of my Vilnius-Berlin bus were turning, not only did I watch Inception for the 4th time, but also…
