From Warsaw to Berlin

October 22, 2010

I visited Warsaw for about three days last week. Warsaw is a busy capital city as all others that provides a view interesting sites. I didn’t have much of an interest and decided to leave for the mere reason that on the weekends the hostels are full, and a full loud hostel with a bunch [...]

Berlin is truly an international city that offers everything under the sun. Berlin became the capital of the German Empire in 1871 and expanded rapidly in the following years. All types of cuisine can be found here in Berlin, and the Mexican food is very good compared to all other locations within the countries I [...]

The Departure out of India proved to be pleasant because gradually I became very tired of the ultra-loud, dusty, and dirty streets of India. Sorry to say, but India is a garbage dump. The clean and quite infrastructure of Berlin is a welcoming site compared to dirty and smelly India. And, after being in India [...]

Continual long term travel can cause a change in lifestyle, eating habits, and possibly a host of health problems. If a traveler consumes the prime opportunity to change eating habits, the morning routine, and the overall disposition—changing geographic locations presents the possibility. Traveling from geographic locations to the next can cause climate and culture shock, [...]

Since I left India I have been at a crossroads concerning international travel. As I mentioned prior, I experienced and saw the countries I have always wanted to visit. I lived in several places such as Bulgaria. At this point my international travels are ending at the end of August. I have been going over [...]
