…and i hate writing about myself. It feels awkward. Or i am a bit awkward and rather not write about it. i have not got a clue where to begin or end… …at this very moment i am a recent graduate of Colorado State University. i live in Longmont, Colorado, which i next to Boulder. Boulder is where all hipsters live. See, this crap is rather boring. i moved here from Budapest, Hungary four years ago, well, actually that is sort of a lie. i was living in Lyon, France one year before i moved to Colorado and before that Hungary. i like to travel or move. i keep moving… i have many interest besides moving: writing, watching, taking, listening and reading (stories, films, photographs, music and books).

About My Flat

As i wrote earlier there are other nice things about the square in MonPlaisir, such as they show films in the summer, but that is hearsay until i witness it for myself. MonPlaisir My Pleasure One of my favourite things is the open air farmer’s market, which happens three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and […]

School Life and Mon Plaisir

The first week of school i felt like a bulldozer had run me over and then backed up and did it again and then again for three more days. The teachers at the school, the three that i have, un femme et deux homme, speak only in French, but sometimes will say a word or […]

en Lyon

i arrived in Lyon without anyone to greet me, no band playing music and no balloons, yet i was excited to be here. My train to my new home. Luckily, a nice lady helped me off with one of my three suitcases, but the help seemed to stop there. i had three suitcases and a […]

Moved

As i can see from my last post, almost a year ago, i never finish anything. There were about four or five more days in Istanbul that i never wrote about, but i can do so now. Istanbul was great. i thought of moving there, but realised that if i am willing to move there, […]

Day 5 – A Test and Some Rest

Sidewalks disappear, so people walk in the streets On the fifth day i stayed at the flat most of the day. Unfortunately i had to write a test for my Civilisation Class. Why didn’t i schedule it for the week after we return? All in all it was a nice day sitting here writing […]

4th Day – Work Hard, Drink Tea, Shop and Smile

Istanbul has a huge tea culture. Everywhere i looked someone was drinking tea. In the underground, in the shops and even even in the bazaar they carried it around on trays. i am not a big tea fan, except for Bigelow Caramel Tea (hint, hint). but i have to admit that i liked the tea […]

Third Day of Istanbul

As you can see from the photos, there are a lot of animals running around Istanbul. You can see cat and dogs (and the occasional chicken and bee) walking all over the city, yet unlike Budapest the sidewalks are not full of crap. The third day was a visit to the Blue Mosque and Tim’s […]

Aya Sofya

On the second day we took a trip to Aya Sofya. i don’t usually like going into castles, museums and churches. i’ve seen so many since moving to Europa that i could go the rest of my life without seeing another and it would make me very happy. i think they all start to look […]

First Day in Istanbul

First day is completed. Walked down twisty streets uphill and down. Sidewalks are barely used, so the street is the place to walk, but be careful of the speeding cars. Took tram which is another adventure, especially trying to get on or off. The people push their way in and off. Walked through the bazaar. […]
