Dear sweet mother of god, we're in Eastern Europe
So I leave in three days and one thing I realized that I should do before I leave is further expand my iTunes. No such things as too much music. I spent last night going through blogs on top classic rock songs, and while I disagreed with several of them (Carry On My Wayward Son should definitely be closer to the top than 99), I realized how unique and important opinions are. For my trip, I am going to Berlin- Germany, Budapest- Hungary, Sarajevo- Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Belgrade- Serbia.
My reasoning behind picking this trip instead of one in Prague- Czech Republic, or a trip that travelled half of Ireland, was that I could not see myself in future saying lets go on vacation to Bosnia. That and I had wasn't even sure where Belgrade was because I kept getting it confused with Belfast. Have you ever heard anyone say that they want to go on a casual vacation to Belgrade? Because I haven't… well until last week and I was with friends when one of them asked, 'Let me know how Sarajevo is.' Not Berlin or Budapest, because these would have been the cities that interested me, but Sarajevo. There was reasoning behind it that was explained, but the look on surprise on all of our faces was probably pretty priceless. Anytime someone mentions these cities, all I think of is the scene from Eurotrip when they realize they are in Bratislava and with a look of terror on their faces exclaim 'Dear sweet mother of god, we're in Eastern Europe.' Its not like these cities are the ones that come to mind when I think of places in Europe to visit.
On a different note, I am headed to Brussels after the trip for a week to visit my friend and hang out because foreign countries with friends are always better than your hometown without friends. I think my dad is just excited for this part as I am because of all the beer. He considers anyplace where Bud Light is an expensive beer to be a good place. Brussels is one of those cities I think of when imagining cities in Europe. How can you not think of a city that has a fountain of a baby peeing. Seriously? But I leave in two and a half days and could not be more excited. Maybe I should start packing……
For the fools that have never seen Eurotrip:
