I came back home from Holland last night. We had an awesome trip, everything went great. I loved Amsterdam, and we already made plans to go back there for a longer vacation. The Arrow Rock festival was tiring, but the bands were good, so it was definitely worth it. :)

I'm flying to Amsterdam in the afternoon. I'm going to Arrow Rock Festival, with Mike and two friends. We will stay one night in Amsterdam, and two nights in Nijmegen, where the festival takes place. We're coming back on Monday ( Read more... )

I had an awesome trip to Italy! Too bad it has been really difficult to get back to normal life after that. I was supposed to have an exam in Mathematics tomorrow, but there's no point in going, as I haven't been able to study at all ( Read more... )

Help! I'm flying to Italy on Saturday, and I'm completely unprepared! All I know is that we're going to the island of Ischia, but I don't really know much else, not even where in Ischia we will be staying. Ah, the pleasures of not planning a trip yourself ( Read more... )

So I can say I'm pretty familiar by now with Narita airport, having spent 2 hours here already, and one hour to go before I can board my plane ( Read more... )

So much has happened! We've had a great time! We went to Kyoto on Thursday. We saw some pretty incredible temples there! On Friday we went to Osaka to see Sonata Arctica play, and after that to a Korean restaurant. There was a grill in the middle of the table, and the food was grilled right there! After that we went to Rock Rock Bar. They had ( Read more... )

Just a quick update, as I need to get a shower soon and then go to sleep. Because of the time difference thing, I haven't slept for about 30 hours. I haven't really felt that tired, but the floor moves like I'm on a boat and I get these attacks of nausea ( Read more... )

I'll try to keep this short, because I still haven't finished packing, but I just can't leave before I've had a chance to update my lj...
