I spent most of today traveling between the Polish cities of Warsaw and Krakow, so I didn’t get up to much besides getting drunk on a train while watching a woman breastfeeding in the seat opposite me (she didn’t offer me a sip, in case you’re wondering). But I did get a mouthful of meat … Continue reading I ate a kebab the size of my head
I'm in Poland, but I haven't seen too many poles - but then again, I haven't hit the strip clubs yet! My journey through this Eastern European country with a tragic past has started in the capital of Warsaw, which has plenty to offer - especially if you like bits of meat wrapped up in … Continue reading Warsaw Warrior
I’ve been to a lot of weird places in my life - shit, I've been to Wyong - but few have been stranger than the Hill of Crosses, just outside of the Lithuanian city of Siaulia. It's a bizarre and incredible place that shouldn't exist... but does. In case the name doesn't give it away, … Continue reading That’s a shitload of crosses!
All roads lead to Riga, so I've spent the last few days back in the Latvian capital with my lady friend Marty. She's smart and pretty and nice to me, and really quite pleasant for a Norwegian. Thankfully, she also has poor taste in men and a soft spot for a Gosfordian accent. One thing … Continue reading Camping, Latvian style
It’s time to get out of Tallinn, so today I headed to the world famous city of Parnu! PARNU! PARNUUUUUUU! What, you haven’t heard of it? It’s a little place on the western coast of Estonia, and the country’s summer capital. It’s where all the rich folk from Tallinn head when the weather stops being … Continue reading Parnu: Centre of the Universe
If there's a more miserable place on Earth than Tallinn's Patarei prison, I'm yet to find it. With a long history of bloodshed, cruelty, torture and pain, this former fortress and jail is a wet, smelly, harsh reminder of Estonia's bleak history - and it absolutely should not be missed. Built in 1840 as a … Continue reading My time in an Estonian prison
Today, the Drunk and Jobless World Tour rolled on to Helsinki - the biggest city in Finland and the northernmost capital in the world. And it feels like it, because the place is bloody freezing! Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if the mayor is a penguin. Actually, I would be, because penguins make notoriously poor … Continue reading Finnish Him!
If you're thinking of coming to Tallinn, Estonia, drop everything (except if you're holing a baby) and do it. Just don't come on a Monday, because most of the attractions will be closed and you'll have to do what I did - get drunk and make your own fun. Actually, I'd recommend doing that no … Continue reading Welcome to Tallinn, where nothing’s open on a Monday!
I can't spend my whole time in Europe hanging out with a pretty girl in Riga (as fun as that sounds), so today I headed off to the ancient city of Tallinn, Estonia. It promised all sorts of history and fun stuff to see, and it delivered in spades. In return, I acted like a … Continue reading Tallinn Callin’
After spending almost a week in Latvia, I think I'm in a position to say that this place is a bit weird. Wait, scratch that, it's a bat-shit insane country that is incredible to experience for that very reason. The locals are serious to a fault, which takes a bit of getting used to as … Continue reading Latvia is an unusual place with unusual people
