1 douchebag leaves, another one returns...

Have a good trip, Brad.

[EvaUnit02]

Have fun, Alexei.

P.S. My birthday is on the 16th.

[saltysam]

have a good holiday-Barcelona is nice.

[grim_tales]

What Sam said Have a good time Brad - Barca is a nice place

[bradavon]

It seems Barcelona is very popular. I'm looking forward to contrasting Prague with Budapest. I'm expecting the latter to have even more of the communist feel.

[bradavon]

Erm Brad is back. Spent an absolute fortune, because of the useless pound found Barcelona very expensive, thought it was an awesome city though, didn't want to come home and also found Prague/Budapest great too.

Back to work tomorrow . Photos to follow.

Sweet, glad you had a good time

[Yi-Long]

HUH!? Brad's back!? Then what was the point of us quickly moving the forum while he was gone!?!?



J/k.

Good to hear to had a nice time.
I hear Spain is going up in flames as we speak, but I guess you don't have anything to do with that, ey!?

amazing sir!

Slightly different but it's reminded me of when my mates built another tent over a tent a mate was sleeping in at a festival and he was so confused when he opened his tent only to find another closed door

Ha ha .

Really? How so?

Thanks guys. I had a great time and didn't want to come home but then I never do. I'm planning to learn Spanish soon, when I can work out the logistics of working and being able to get there afterwards. I'd like to move to Spain circa 2-3 years and also do Central/South America properly, which I've deliberately skipped.

Ditto but for Japanese, the beginner's course is fine because it's 7-9pm, but then when you move onto the advanced course, it's 5-7pm, errrr what the hell do people with jobs do about that?! I'd have thought the whole point of evening classes was for people with jobs!

[bradavon]

Exactly! The Spanish courses start at 6:15, which is absurd even for people working in the same city. I'm going to look at courses in the town I work in.

Like you say 7-9pm makes much more sense but I don't get home until 6:15 so a course at err. 6:15 is ridiculous. How long have you been doing it?

I read on the teletext yesterday that Spain was battling some woordfires and such....

[gasteropod]

How long have you been doing it?

I haven't, contemplating doing it but that time thing is a problem. I don't want to waste my time and money doing the beginner's course if I can't get to the advanced one on time.

[grim_tales]

I did a Japanese Beginners and Further Steps course too some years ago. Sadly not enough people were interested in the advanced course.

[bradavon]

Hey guys. I'm off to India from the 31st of October for 3 weeks. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the Himalayas. I cannot wait!

[Yi-Long]

Have fun, man. Talke lots of pictures, and don't annoy your sherpas too much, or they'll kick you from the mountain

[gasteropod]

You're off to India on the 31st, I'm off to an illegal zombie rave in Manchester

Have a good one, sire!

[bradavon]

That sounds fun. They have crazy parties in Manchester!

I'm not going to be able to manage 5 weeks out of the country again any time soon, so am making the most of it. I carried 5 days over last year.

[gasteropod]

The warehouse rave I went to was awesome, here's a pic of us zombified before we headed out:


And this video filmed by someone else there last night shows about half the scale of the event:

It finished at 4:30 a.m. and the police were just directing people out of the industrial estate and had some roads closed off, they didn't cause any trouble so it was all cool.

[bradavon]

Hey guys. I'm off to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from the 22nd of July until the 1st of August. My first trip/holiday since the end of 2009 and I bloody need it. The rough itinerary goes as follows:

22nd until 26th: Latvia (part Riga, part elsewhere) - 3 days, the 22nd is travelling
26th until 29th: Lithuania (part Vilnius, part elsewhere)
29th until 1st of August: Estonia (due to less time probably all Tallinn) - 2.5 days, the 1st is travelling

[Heka]

I've been to Latvia once and Estonia many times. Riga was damn expensive back in summer of 2010, dunno how the situation is now with the economy being the way it is. Estonia has always been fun and the alcohol and the women are cheap. Though I recommend staying away from the later (at least the ones you have to pay for) if you don't want catch some horrible disease. Have some amazing stories from my last stay in Estonia when I was there playing in my orchester.

Hope you will have an epic time in those countries.
