Continue reading →: Look, a meaningless post!
Although I have dedicated one blog entry to my time home and could technically calmly proceed with something that resembles actual updates of what I’m doing now, there is one more thing I want to share with you. It’s always more about me wanting to tell people stuff than others…

Continue reading →: My Apology to Belgium
Not so long ago (what an irrelevant piece of information in a blog!), I had a small Ramallah reunion, as I’d like to call it, in Brussels. Was it as eye-opening as my time in Ramallah? Can’t say so. And yet, it was eye-opening in this one particular respect that…

Continue reading →: Jordan! Petra: Camels, Accents, and How Keane and Shaggy Come into Picture
What do you do in Jordan if you have a couple of days here? You go to Petra. If someone tries to argue – I’m sorry, my counterargument is only this: it would be freakin’ idiotic not to go to Petra. Although the entrance fee quickly inspires backpackers to come…

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…

Continue reading →: Palestine Series No. 3. Bethlehem to Jericho: a Crazy Desert Ride
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…

Continue reading →: Palestine Series No 1. Ramallah: “…not the destination, but the journey itself…”
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…

Continue reading →: No Rest for the Wicked: Getting Some Serious Points of Coolness Here
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…

Continue reading →: La Poderosa…Let’s Say
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…
