Prague, currency conversion, and blowjobs

Sunday, July 15, 2007 11:09 PM
A couple of years ago, a friend (whom I'll call Mike, because that's his name) and I spent a few days in Prague. It's one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. It's also perfect for exploring on foot. Startlingly, most of central Prague's medieval

Dad and I have been to Maastricht, The Netherlands a couple of times. For both of us, it's become a favorite destination. The city is chock full of stuff to see, it's medieval core is largely intact, and there aren't that many tourists around. It's ideal

Of all the wars in recorded history, World War I stands out as the most idiotic. It was completely preventable, it was fought for no good reason, and its unfinished business led to the rise of the Third Reich. One of the bloodiest battles of that awful

A friend and I visited Greece in November 2004, a couple of weeks after the Presidential election. Since the election dominated the news in Europe just like it did here, we heard the same question over and over from the locals: "What do you think about

In February 2005, totally on a whim, I went to Paris by myself for the weekend. I left Knoxville on a Friday afternoon, arrived in Paris Saturday morning, and returned Monday afternoon. The weather was brutally cold, and I was exhausted after I returned,

In 2003, my Dad and I stayed for a few days at a wonderful hotel in Luxembourg called the Hotel du Moulin . Tucked away in a quiet corner of eastern Luxembourg, the hotel sits in a gorgeous, isolated valley below the ruins of the medieval castle of Bourscheid.

Random photos: Muerren, Switzerland, the Schilthorn, and the ride of terror

Sunday, May 06, 2007 9:00 PM
In September 2005, I spent a week by myself in the Swiss Alps. Although Switzerland is indescribably beautiful, I had enough near-death experiences on that trip to become convinced that the country was trying to kill me -- not the adorable Swiss people,

By some miracle of history, Prague's medieval core has survived largely intact. Invasions, foreign dominations, wars, and half a century under Communist rule all passed with the city's ancient fabric more or less undisturbed. The Old City district (Stare

In 2003, my Dad and I took an epic three-week trip across Northern Europe, including a week in Copenhagen. Our hotel was a couple of blocks west of Copenhagen's central train station, pictured here ( Københavns Hovedbanegård , and please don't ask me

I have tons of photos, several thousand of which are online here . I think I should do something with them. I'm going to start a regular feature called Random Photo, in which I pick one photograph and blog about the scene it depicts. All of my photos
