START OF MY BIG TRIP - I have arrived !
|
|
2pm Leipzig:
I'm siting on a train 2 Chemnitz. For the past 2 hours I hours been accommodating myself with German culture. The language is fucking hard! I often make fun of
Americans that they have hard time finding themselves abroad ... Well baby, I am as Hamerican as it gets. 
I'm getting adjusted though, Europe has this harsh thing about her, but she is still beautiful in her unique way. I would say: it's like having an affair with an older lady, she still has a thing or two to teach you.
As far as my motogp ticket. (didn't have a name of the box office, only address) On this huge Augustusplaz, (open area in the center of town) without numbers on the buildings I did find the place ... Except that it was closed (ADSD, a well known travel agency in Germany). Therefore I have to wait 'till I get to the hotel, hopefully they will at least know that there is a mid-season race happening in this section of the world.
3pm ... On the way ...

Well, I know I was supposed to do more today, but after I bought my backpack for the trip I decided to enjoy Central Park once again. After 3 non-stop rainy days here in NY, a day of sun through clouds sounded too good to miss out on. But don't worry, it's 1am I'm almost fully packed & ready. Tomorrow is another day (half of it anyways) & it looks like I will start my trip just as planned.
What excitement ? Well, I'm suppose to attend Moto GP race of Germany, except that I still don't have tickets for the event Germans are great people, very efficient, but not too friendly to foreigners. I honestly tired to get those tickets on-line. But with all the german & no english forms it seemed too hard. So after really looking into it, I got a response from a general info email ... in German. Thanks to Google "translate" feature, I was informed that "can purchase tickets at the box office". Well, let's hope I have enough luck to actually get those tickets.
I learned my lesson though, as far as the Czech Rep. Moto GP in Bron ... already have tickets & hotel reserved
7pm
Stressed 'till the last minute my dad that is. I don't mind being late for the plain. I almost missed my flight, when i got to the check-in line it was 1 hour long ... & my flight was leaving in 1 hour. What to do but go to the 1st class window & smile ... I actually made it & had enough time for a last drink in NYC.

Obviously, I just turned 30. Great someone might say, but not so if you ask me. Had a great life so far, but ... haven't accomplished much. To add to this mess, I got laid off 3 months ago ... yeah computer guy.
But I don't give up & to CELEBRATE my 30th birthday, I decided to go to Europe & live a little
So, hang on as I will update you daily on where I am & what I see 
Well, my trip officially starts on 26th of June, when I land in Lipzip, Germany. Why there ? MOTO GP baby!
