Interrail

Well, Im flying to Denmark tomorrow, and leaving to the interrail.. Phew a lot of stuff been going on since last post... My dad sent my Mom a letter with our budget and plan, and my Mom FLIPPED because there were like, two eastern european destinations on the list.. Doesnt make much sense because f.x. Italy isnt exactly much safer then eastern european places, but I guess that objectivity isnt something to expect from a mother in a situation like this... Anyways, she was totally no-go on the trip for 3 days or so, but in the end she conceded.. After a very persuasive letter on my part :)

So the trip is on, made all the preparations, spend a whole day shopping for stuff (rucksack and stuff like that)

Now another problem has come up, one of our trio apparently wont be able to come due to money problems.. his mom just left the house and left for another country 3 days ago, and isnt answering his phone calls.. lol ... anyways im postponing telling my parents this for now, cos my mom is liable to completely cancel the trip if she finds out >.> like 3 people is more secure than 2.. it is to some extent I guess, but still :(

Well, first destination is Berlin, so going to look forward to that. Going to check out some cold war museums I think, and have a good time :) dont know how internet access will be for the duration of the trip, so will write in a notebook, and then maybe post some details of the trip here. Might make a separate interrail blog, will link it if I do :)

First Post :)

So, I am soon to embark upon a new stage of my life. Finished my IB (International Baccaleuriate) exams about a month ago, got my grades, got into Glasgow :)


Well, guess that since this is my first post, I should, at least symbolically, introduce myself. My name is Philip, I am as of the moment 17, and Im going to University this September. I love reading classical, sci-fi, and fantasy literature, and am a bit of a Rock music freak (Hence my pseudonym :P). Play guitar and sing a bit. For now I think thats enough :)


Im sitting now, at 3:48 a.m. at home at my computer... Contemplating what lays ahead. In around 10 days, Im going back to Denmark (My Dad lives in Riga, Latvia), where Im meeting up with my two great friends, Greg and Nicolas. Together, we are going on a 20 day Interrail trip, which will be Legen... wait for it.. Dary :D
Planning to take tonnes of Pics and write down my experiences, which I will (hopefully) post here :)

After the trip, I'm going to Scotland, 2 weeks in advance of University, where I will study for 4 years, an undergraduate course in Politics and Economics. Looking forward tremendously, will be great studying things that actually interest me for a change (in school, 60-70% of what you do is kind of boring >.>)

There is a lot more to be said, but this is sort of an introductary post, and it IS a tiny bit late :D so yeah, Im going to bed now.
