I booked some train tickets for Germany today. Recently I talked to my friend and confirmed the days I’ll be staying with him. Bahn is really easy to use, but the tickets use an airline style pricing for the ICE trains. Good thing I remembered ... Read more >

Today I went to the Science Museum. There were a few good exhibits about math, electricity and computers, but I’ll spare most of the details. The most interesting was about James Watt. If you’re not an engineer or British, you may not know ... Read more >

I ended up at a pub crawl last night with friend from the hostel, Philippe. It was rainy and a holiday, so it sounded like something good to do. However, nobody else in all of London had that train of thought. We were the only two people on this ... Read more >

England’s rainy stereotype can remain intact. It’s been raining all day and will not likely stop. Besides the rain though, it is quite pleasant outside. I was out and about sometime around 10 am and the holiday combined with the rain ... Read more >
