Pretty Big Brag
 
nah, no tatas in this one

so last year, i was like hey, you know what would be tight? I'll go on huge trip around the world and see what happens.

Well, that trip starts on Tuesday. I'm hitting:
LA
SF
Boston
NY
Dartmouth (ya i know but i go to school there)
Jaco Beach Costa Rica (and other fine places in CR)
London
Scotland
Fez, Morocco
Spain (Seville, Barca)
France (Paris, wherever else)
Amsterdam
Germany
Prague
Vienna
Venice/Florence/Rome

Possibly Greece too, if I decide I want to.

So, if anyone has any suggestions and stuff, let me know.

I'll also be writing about the trip as I go--including a fair amount of poker discussion--in the blog i made today. Check it out here.

Also, if you're in one of these places and want to hang out, let me know. I think a few random drunk poker games might be necessary on this trip.


oh and ok finneneee tatas

ive been to most of western europe before, havent been to eastern europe yet


but over this next year i'm planning to go to korea, japan, china, india, laos, cambodia, vietnam, thailand, new zealand, australia -- those are the ones i'm certain of. i'm leaving at the end of this month and probably returning in february or march. then i'm planning to go to south america, starting in brazil and at least visiting peru, argentina and mexico on my way back up.

i'm really excited about the trip. when i withdrew from law school to play poker, all i really wanted to be able to do was travel. now i'm set up where i am going to be able to do as much of that as i want, + bought a new car + set aside enough money to pay for the rest of my tuition. poker is a pain in the ass sometimes but even those of us who have only made a "decent" amount in poker are really lucky.

hope you enjoy your trip baluga. are you planning to play a lot as you travel? or are you going to take the time off for the most part? just wondering.

BalugaWhale 09-08-2007 09:15 PM

Re: Pretty Big Brag
 
i may play/coach some, but i'm not going to do it a lot because
A) i'm using most of my roll as cushion money for the trip
B) i want to enjoy all of my time there

For those that lived in Barcelona (I can't remember who it was), any recs on places to hit at night?

Damn your going for 4 months, that's pretty sick. I wish I could, but higher education beckons.

sounds awsome man, if you decide to come to ireland let me know, I'll introduce you to some of my farm animal friends

Jaco is pretty dirty, you'd be better off going to Porto Viejo or Guanacaste or some place with a nicer beach. Jaco is a good beach party town though, if you do go hit up Monkey Bar and Beatle Bar and check out the hookers.

If you want to party in San Jose or play some poker or something hit me up.

Just curious, whats your budget for the trip?

Also, make sure you hit up korea when you eventually get out to asia. Not to mention all the awesomeness that is southeast asia.

while you're in spain try and visit alicante and valencia, pretty nice. If you're going to Italy you have to go down south to capri. Other than that, looks like you're going to have a great time.

btw, is this your 1st time around Europe? If you want suggestions for nightlife send me a pm
