Prague part II

I have to tell this story from Prague.
Im in my dorm reading my book. Theres also two girls from Germany (not those in picture in previous Prague post). In comes this girl saying nothing, but going straight to bed with her clothes on. I had talked to this American girl night before, so I basically knew her. Ok, two German girls are already asleep when I stop reading and hit the lights. It takes like 30 minutes, and I hear this strangly familiar sound from one of the beds. OMG! The US girl is throwing up on her bed. Thats why she didnt say a thing, she was blasted. I can hear her spitting the rest of the womit from her throat to the pillow. I wait but nothing happens. The girl fell asleep right after throwing up if she even woke up during the process...oh shit. What to do? She is breathing so shes not dead but its quite nasty to sleep on ones womit. Ok Teemu, do what you have to do. As the German girls continued dreaming about shnitzels I flipped on my flip flops and slouched to the reception.
"Hello sir, this one girl in my room just threw up and now shes sleeping in her own womit!"
"Ok, what do you want me to do?" Said the receptionist gesturing its not his problem.
"Well, lets go see that she is ok and maybe we could change her linery so that se dont need to sleep the whole night in her own womit. Is that ok?"
"hmmmm....maybe we can do that"
We go back to the room and as you can imagine the smell was repulsive. I hit the lights on and see the whole mess. As bad as you can only imagine but girl still breathing. The only problem is that the girls is so wasted that we cant get her up. I try to tell her that it could be nice if yuo would let us to change your linery, but girl only replies "tomorrow, tomorrow". What can you do. We change the pillow and hope for the best.

I dont know how long it takes for me to hear the same repulsive sound again. F*ck, she did it again. She throws up, spits for a while and then does nothing. This can be happening to me again...noooooo, but this time its differen hence the German girls wake up also. We exchange a couple of glances with our eyebrows shifting from side to side. At the same time we rise from the beds and I switch the lights on, again. Its not a pretty sight.

The German girls are twins. Twins and nurses, both. Im not lying. Another thing to add to my "things to do before I die"-list. This time we get the girl to response and se rises up. Yay! German twin nurses takes her to a shower and I go to the reception, again. "Sir, the girl did it again, but she is on her feet, so we can change her linery now".
"Uh-huh, well I dont have a spare pillow anymore."
"Well, theres nobody in the bed next to the girls, so lets use that one??"
The girls comes from the shower with fresh clothes and I have managed to change her linery with the receptionist! A days good deed! I felt like a fatherfigure trying to cope with the situation.
So, the lesson of this story: Absinth is good for you but not in so big doze

ps. Sorry, no pictures about this incident ;)

Sorry for any inconvenience....

...I hadnt realized that even though I have been posting in English, all other stuff was still in Finnish. Problem solved!

Thanks Daniel for brining this up...although somebody could have mentioned about this earlier on....

Yours: Teemu with picture!

Food! Lots of it... and a happy man...

Art from Prague

Went to this new art museum in Prague (yeah, it was called museum). Theres some pictures. Attention! Some nudity and political incorrectness may occur.

Prague

How to put it...well I just say it as it is. I love Prague. Beautiful, lively, amazing.
Once again I witnessed how small the world is. First I run to these two beautiful German girls that use to study in Bochum and Ive been there 3 times. Strange. And of course I also met two Spanish guys I met in Berlin week ago. Weird.

Theres Richard! Yay!

Prague was a jackpot for me. Richard (member of staff in Sir Tobys hostel) was so f***ing helpful. Basically I hung out with Richard and the two German girls and a couple of guys from Sweden for the 3-4 for next days. Got to see the real Prague since we went to places I would have never found by myself. Hell, I would not even have entered the places by myself. Excellent food and drinks almost for nothing. Bar hopping in authentic pubs for natives only. Saw one of the weirdest bands ever. Weird clubs. Go-Go dancing (nice bodies btw) and so on. Yay!

Jonne. Green jackets missing here.

There was one other guy from Finland also. Jonne. Oh shit, we both had green jackets, scarf, too long jeans with rolled trouser legs, gray hoodie and sneakers. Almost identical twins. The funniest thing was that I was the first Finnish person that the two German girls had ever met, and the second one dresses completely the same. There was some explaining to do. No, not all Finnish people dresses like this.

ps. In Sir Tobys basement was a little pub and one girl from the staff baked chocolate&raisin cookies for 25 koronas a piece. Delicious.

Once again the grin and thumps up.

31.10 Berlin to Prague

Dear reader, sorry for the delay, but Im gonna do some serious blogging now!

Once again the "going with the flow" kicks in. I tried to book a bus ticket from Berlin to Prague online, but of course I should have done it a couple of days earlier. I was impossible to do it so close to the journey. "Well, this is nothing new for me" I thought and stuck with my old routine. Wake up in the morning, check out from hostel and hope for the best.
I think its quite strange that in a international bus station the ticket office "sales rep." dont speak English. So after a few hand gestures and some written numbers for me to understand the price of the ticket, I found my self in a situation that Im leaving Berlin in a few hours. Just enough time to have the last Döner Kebab (4,5€ with Coke, I love Germany). Next to the Kebab joint was internet cafe and I decided to do some research about Prague! Yes, believe it or not, but I booked the hostel in Prague in advance...


The bus left Berlin 15.00 and was to be in Prague 19.30. So once again I realize that Im gonna arrive to my next destination when its dark and tourist informations are closed. It means no free map or advices.

Praises to the modern technology! Theres Wi-Fi in the bus and I still had one bar of energy in my mobile. Of course only one just to make it a bit more interesting for me. I manage to write down the instructions before my mobile dies. I feel like a winner!

Next things is to get some Czech money. I go to ATM and pull some korunas from the wall. Next I head to the metro station and try to purchase a ticket. 30 minutes ticket is 24 korunas, and I have now 2000 korunas (80€) note in my hand...this is not gonna work, and not just only because ticket vending machine only operates with coins... What to do? Ask, ask, ask. rule number one when traveling.
There is a info booth in the metro station. After a brief conversation in, I guess it was Czech, Im in the same situation as before, since I didnt understand a word.
Ave! A grocery store! That could work. So the first thing I by in Prague is a banana worth 15 korunas or something. I go to the cash desk with a big "supposed to be sorry for my big note" grin and it works. The cashier nods her head just to say "its ok, youre not the first tourist here to change money. At least you had the courtesy to by a banana". Some change I got now (Yoda English)

Best check in ever in the hostel (Sir Tobys Hostel, loved it). It took me about 40 minutes to check in just because I got so much info about the city. Thanks Richard! And some times christmas comes early. hence there was some overbooking I got upgraded to a double room and I was there alone! Felt like the honey moon suite after all those 14 bed dorms. Happy days! Also got a 5 days public transportation card for half the price. Thank you Richard one more time.

Either a religiously very confused young man or just politically incorret...

.. you deside ;)

If I would use Facebook, this would be my profile picture.

Color matching Palestinian scarf and Jewish "Kipa" ;)

Statement about my journey.

One of the best decisions in my life, ever. Period.

This is how happy I am.

With love from Prague, yours Teemu Paananen
