I've Totally Been Slacking Ja Potpuno I've Been olabavljenje

Posting has been slow and I've been a bit less creative these past couple of days. Posting je spor i sam bio malo manje kreativne tih zadnjih par dana. I just got back though and I promise to have uploaded some of the many pictures I have on my camera. JA pravedan je dobio leđa iako i sam obećanje da ste učitali neke od mnogo slika sam na moju kameru. You can ring in the month of November with them. Možete nazvati u mjesecu studenog s njima.

(See? I could have just said, “I'm tired bitches.” But I didn't. So eat that, I'm nice). (Vidiš, mogao sam samo rekao: "Ja sam umoran ženke." Ali nisam. Tako da jede, ja sam lijepo).

Until then I'm curious, what are you guys (everywhere) doing for Halloween? Do tada sam znatiželjan, što ti dečki (svugdje) događaj za Halloween? And costumes, yes we'd like to know what you're going as. I kostima, da bismo željeli znati što ćete kao.

Merci beaucoup. Merci beaucoup.

Muahahaha! Muahahaha!

Wish I Knew Wish I Knew

That my Lufthansa flight had free Internet, but I used up all of my battery during my 6-7 hour layover in Munich. To je moja leta Lufthansa je besplatni internet, ali sam se sve do moje baterije za vrijeme mog 6-7 sata prekid putovanja u Münchenu. Only about 10 minutes to go… Samo oko 10 minuta da odu ...

but Internet in the air? ali Internet u zraku? Cool! Hladno!

Wireless in the Munich Airport Wireless u Munich Airport

Is run by Vodafone who will charge you 5.95 Euro (or roughly 13 dollars) for every 30 minutes online. Je li trčanje mimo Vodafone, koji će vam naplatiti 5,95 Eura (ili otprilike 13 dolara) za svakih 30 minuta na internetu. One of the most expensive I've ever come across. Jedan od najskupljih sam ikada naići.

You've been warned! You've been warned!

Munich Airport Munich Airport

I'm in the airport now waiting for the Lufthansa counter to open up. Ja sam u zračnoj luci sada čeka šalter Lufthanse otvoriti. I arrived to watch the sunset here this morning – quite an impressive site. Sam stigao gledati zalazak sunca ovdje jutros - prilično impresivan stranice. They've been playing American 80s music and the place is deserted, except for this guy on my right who is killing off his second large beer (at 8am)! Oni 'bio igranje američke glazbe 80-ih i mjestu je napuštena, osim za ovaj tip na moje pravo, koji je ubio je svoju drugu veliku pivu (u 8)!

I must admit I considered it too. Moram priznati da nisam smatrao previše.

I wish I had a camera to take paparazzi photos like Cousin Bucur's site, but it ran out of batteries weeks ago. Volio bih imao kameru da se paparazzi fotografija kao što je rođak Bucur 'položaj, ali je ostao bez baterije tjedana. I've got some pretty interesting army stories when I get back. Imam neke prilično zanimljive priče vojska kad se vratim.

It was funny when I arrived – I don't have any paper tickets due to some changes in my flight schedule, so half deaf from my ears being blocked up I went to the Lufthansa counter. Bilo je smiješno kad sam stigao - ja dont 'imati bilo koji papir karte zbog nekih promjena u mom letenja, tako da polovina gluh od moje uši blokirane spreman sam otišao na šalter Lufthanse. It went something like this: To je nešto poput ovoga:

What time is your flight? U koliko sati imate let?

Ah…good question, I don't know. Ah ... dobro pitanje, ne znam. I'm going to Washington, can't you tell me? I'm going to Washington, ne možeš mi reći?

What time is the flight? Što je vrijeme leta?

Hmmm…I think 12. Hmmm ... mislim da 12.

Then some confusion and we finally figured it out. Tada neke zabune i mi napokon podoba Internet vanjska strana. That is if I heard everything correctly To je ako sam čuo sve što je ispravno ? ? If not I'll be having beer and shnitzel for lunch Ako ne ja ću se da i pivo shnitzel za ručak The lady was all pissy. Dama je sve pissy.

Okay, so the beer drinker just came over to ask me how I got online. Ok, pa pivo pije samo došao na to pitajte me kako sam on-line. Turns out he's Turkish and his name is Erol. Ispada da je turski i njegovo ime je Erol. Erol likes beer. Erol voli pivo. Germany is cool that way. Njemačka je kul taj način.

Updates to come soon – my weeks in the army, the places I got to see in Ankara, and your usual travel advice/random info. Ažuriranja doći uskoro - moje tjedna u vojsci, mjesta sam dobio vidjeti u Ankari, a svoje uobičajene putne savjete / slučajan info. Okay, I'm running out of Internet credits so I'm out! Eto, ja sam trčanje vanjska strana od Internet bodova pa sam se!

Leaving in a Few Hours Ostavljajući u nekoliko sati

Heading back to the States is always difficult – but this time more so than before Heading back to država je uvijek teško - ali ovoga puta više nego prije

…but opportunities await, and the only thing between Point A and Point B is yourself. ... No prilike čekaju, a jedina stvar između točke A i B je točka sebe.

I miss everyone already I miss svatko već

End of Ramazan End of Ramazan

The past three days of Zadnja tri dana bayram Bayram ended yesterday here in Turkey. koja je završila jučer ovdje, u Turskoj. You can read all about it Možete pročitati sve o tome here ovdje , but I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to Tom Brosnahan. , Ali sam mislio da bi bilo dobro vrijeme da vas upoznamo sa Tom Brosnahan. I had the opportunity to meet him last year – he wrote the first travel guide on Turkey after his first trip there in the 60s as a member of the Peace Corps. Imao sam priliku da mu u susret prošle godine - napisao je prvi turistički vodič o Turskoj nakon što je njegov prvi izlet u tamo 60-tih godina kao član Peace Corps.

He has since written many good books about Turkish traveling, life, and culture – but it's his website that really caught my eye. Od tada je napisao mnogo dobrih knjiga o Turski putovanja, život i kultura - ali to je njegov website taj stvarno je uhvaćen moj oko. It gives any information you could want about Turkey from an American point of view – the questions he asks are the ones most people think of first: On daje sve informacije možete poželjeti o Turske iz američkog stajališta - pitanja, pita se većina ljudi misle one prve:

• Is travel safe for women Je li putovati sigurno za žene ? ?
• Why Turkey Zašto Turska ? ?
• What are the attitudes towards Americans/forginers Koji su stavovi prema Amerikancima / forginers ? ?

Impressions of Lugano, Switzerland Impressions of Lugano, Švicarska

Lugano Lugano is a small and very Swiss city in the south of Switzerland. je vrlo malo i švicarski grad na jugu Švicarske. Everything is close by and even I was able to map out a good part of the city while I was there. Sve je u neposrednoj blizini, pa čak i sam bio u mogućnosti to karta se dobar dio grada dok sam bio tamo. The first thing you notice when you get out of the train station is the stunning mountain scenery and as you walk across the walkway the amazing Lake Lugano. Prva stvar koju ćete primijetiti kada ste dobili od željezničke stanice je zapanjujući planinski krajolik i kao što hoda preko nogostup iznenađujuće jezera Lugano.

You might as well be in Italy as any other language (other that perhaps German) will get you nowhere. Te moć isto kao i biti u Italiji kao i bilo koji drugi jezik (drugi koji možda njemački) ćete dobiti nigdje. I don't know any Italian but learned that “ciao” will get you very far. Ja ne znam talijanski, ali bilo koji saznaje da je "ciao" će vas doći jako daleko. I'm so ignorant that my sister had to teach me please (por favore), thank you (grazie), and you're welcome (preggo). Ja sam tako u neznanju da je moja sestra morala naučiti mene ugoditi (POR favore), hvala vam (grazie), a vi ste dobrodošli (preggo). If you don't speak Italian beware. Ako ne govorite talijanski pazi. You won't be greated warmly – but I can't blame anyone, I should have picked up a word or two before I came. Vi ne dočekuje toplo - ali ja ne mogu kriviti nikoga, ja bi trebao imati ubran gore riječ ili dvije prije nego što sam došao. My goal is to learn very basic tourist Italian before the new year. Moj cilj je naučiti osnovne turističke Talijanski prije nove godine. You should do the same. Trebali bi napraviti isto.

Ticcino is the canton that Lugano is located in (Ticcino = the Italian speaking part of Switzerland). Ticcino je kanton koji se nalazi u Lugano (Ticcino = talijanski govornom dijelu Švicarske). The culture is Germanic – but the language is Italian. Kultura je germanski - ali jezik je talijanski. Prices are Euro-expensive but you'll save about 20% because the dollar is slightly stronger than the Swiss franc. Cijene su Euro-skupo ali ćete spremiti oko 20%, jer dolar je malo jači od švicarski franak. A dinner out for two will cost about 40 francs. Večera za dva će koštati oko 40 franaka.

Lots of expensive shopping – a few bars and not too many clubs. Mnogo skupo shopping - nekoliko barova i ne previše klubova. My sister says (and I noticed) that people in Lugano are older and the primary reason for being there (other than studying) is to shop. Moja sestra kaže (i ja primjetio) da su stariji ljudi u Luganu i primarni razlog za postojanje postoji (osim studiranja) je u dućan. Every expensive store you can think of is there (Dolce & Gabana, etc). Svaki skup dućan možete misliti na što je tamo (Dolce & Gabana, itd.). I'm not sure how much partying the Franklin students can do – though I'm sure they'll find a way. Nisam siguran koliko žurka Franklin studenti mogu učiniti - iako sam siguran da ćete pronaći način.
