I don't know what I was thinking paying over $1000 to go to Europe. But it's my Uncle's wedding and he's turning 50 the next day, so it's a special occasion. The last time I was in Germany I really screwed it up. I was there for 4 months and didn't even go travelling. I just sat glued to a computer screen all day and then went and hung out with my grandparents afterwards. It was the worst 4 months of my life and it was also the hottest summer Germany has seen in a long time, or the whole of Europe for that matter.
I got angrier and angrier, and wrote a blog every once in a while. I let some friends view it as well, and they wrote me words of encouragement from time to time. But I fear I went insane during that time, and I don't want to repeat it. This time I want to take pictures, make friends, enjoy life a bit more. I will be going with my sister Anna and my dad, so it will be an interesting mix.
Our trip will take us to Prague, Vienna, Dresden, Munich, and Stuttgart. It will be amazing landscapes and centuries old architecture, it's just so refreshing seeing such a rich culture after living in such a new country like Canada for a long time. It will also be nice to get away from the games and movies that I seem to be addicted to.
I was also made to practice some piano songs to play at the wedding. I haven't played piano in ages so I hope I will have enough time to practice and put out a half-decent performance. I definitely don't want to screw it up, even though it will only be about 40 people or so.
A bad thing happened though once I came back to Canada in September 2003, after my trip: I accidentally gave someone I met a link to my web space where I was complaining about my trip to Germany! SO I really got in trouble for that and he shared it with other friends I met and they kept bugging me about it on ICQ for a while after that. But I haven't spoken them in years since I gave up using ICQ. So it will be interesting to meet those people again, albeit briefly, to see what they have to say to me face-to-face.
Also I'd like everyone to get into a big circle, hold hands, and just pray for me. Do it now. Get up from whatever you are doing and just join hands. Pray to whichever god you pray to. Or if you're not religious look into your inner-self and pray to it. Just send me your good vibes... yes, I'm feeling them. Thank you, thank you.
I have finally gone mentally insane right now. Anyone know of any good Insane Assylums in the area? Drop me a line!
