Back to Reality
It’s weird, somehow. I don’t really feel like anything has changed. Things are the same and work the same way, I am me and others are themselves. Yet life & the things within feel different. I’ve been travelling for seven…
CA Days 44-48: Drowning, somewhat
It all started to get some weird kind of spin at the AMTRAK station in San Diego, when I bought my ticket to L.A. and checked in my huge backpack, since I had about three hours left to kill and…
CA Days 39-43: San Diego, the last days
Not in the mood for reading? Here be pictures. I messaged back and forth with another host for the weekend, but wasn’t lucky and therefore kind of homeless once again. It really wasn’t bad, in the meanwhile I’m used to…
By the way: Loads of photos
Don’t forget to check the flickr-collection every once in a while – I’m constantly uploading STUFF.
CA Days 34 – 38: So much San Diego
I met up with Craig at the Palms, a hotel/casino just a couple blocks from Tim’s place, for the ride to San Diego. To the point at 9am shook hands and immediately hit the road. Craig is in his 30s…

CA Days 28 – 33: More San Diego & Fabulous Las Vegas
San Diego continued relaxed and made for a really great time. I spent the 29th walking around the city some more, taking a few more pictures, going to the piers and watching the ocean. In the evening Danny and I…
CA Days 23 – 27: Some little rest in San Diego
As I thought the stay with Danny is a welcome rest on my journey. He and his girlfriend Caley, who is already looking for the right ring, are have a very nice apartment, it is clean, heated, has a clean…

CA Days 18 – 23: San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach & a short stop in Santa Barbara
The Amtrak is a public train company, running lines all around the states as far as I can judge from the brochures I saw at the station, but for sure provide good transportation in california. Anyways it is a comfortable…
CA – To all of you who write mails
I know I’m lazy with answering, thing is I’m not online that much and if so I am busy with keeping the blog up to date and arranging couchsurfing-stuff. Answering e-mails takes a lot of time I don’t usually have…
CA Days 18 & 19 – Getting down with the ASIANS in San Luis Obispo
When she signed her reply with “your favourite asian” I already knew that the stay with Skyline will be special. I was sitting in San Luis in a nice Cafe when we finally got hold of each other and she…
CA Days 16 & 17 – Santa Cruz to San Luis Obispo
There was one more thing on my tasklist for Santa Cruz: The University-Campus. So after I woke up I had breakfast in a Cafe called “Cafe Brazil”. The breakfast was amazing, delicious eggs florentine with a bowl of fresh fruit…
CA Days 14 & 15 – Santa Cruz
The whole day-count-confusion had a simple reason: My powerbook refuses to switch to the local timezone, so when I’m online anytime between 3pm and midnight it shows me “tomorrow’s” date, therefore confusing me with it’s date-being-wrong-ness. Before I came down…

CA Days are not counted anymore – Oakland & heading south
Yesterday was a great final for my Bay Area session. Morgan’s friends RJ and Maia took me to a small artificial island-like thing called the Albany Bulb, which literally is a huge dumpyard for all kinds of trash. Not like…
CA Interlude: “Like”-people and “Fuck”-people
I found out about two typical californian kinds of people, which I label “LPs” and “FPs” (derived from the wording you can find in this post’s title). What that means you ask me? Well so I shalth tell you what…
CA Day 11
Ok, my numbering was correct. Whatever. So here we go with day 11. The evening in the hostel was fun, I met this guy Bill in the dorm who joined me for the irish pub and we had two relaxing…
CA Days 10 & 11
I just realized my numbering is wrong. The first post should’ve been Days 1 & 2, so here we continue with the now correct numbering. Pizza & Beer was nice, Sonya’s friend had an unusal name I can’t seem to…
CA Days 8 & 8 1/2 – Back to Berkeley
Yesterday was a day of relaxation and a nice opportunity to take a breath and rest a little after a busy time around the bay area. I got up pretty early, at around 8 I think, made myself some coffee…

CA Days 4 – 7
I was supposed to meet Melisa around 7.30pm in SF downtown. Since Sonya met up with her gang at about 6.30pm I thought that waiting one hour wasn’t all that bad. But Melisa’s plans changed, so the time to be…

FINALLY some pictures
CA Days 2 & 3 – Attachments
There’s so much to write … I want to add some little things to the last post. First of all I didn’t quite work out enough how great Sonya was. I was her first surfer and she really did a…
CA Days 2 & 3 – Welcome to San Francisco
Continuing from the stop at the airport. I couldn’t get much of a sleep at that airport-thing. First I tried the bench at subway (the restaurant-chain, by the way, not the underground-thing), then a fluffy looking chair in the check-in…
CA Day 1 – Planes are very reliable, are they?
So I’m sitting in Newark at the airport right now typing these lines. I should already be in San Francisco since 3 hours, but it’s not as easy. Those guys in vienna managed to delay a 1hr flight by 1hr….
Retrospective. This is NOT ANOTHER “LAST YEAR” SHITPOST
Yah, New Year’s Eve is coming up and everybody’s writing his personal summary of the last year, draws conclusions and makes decisions for their future based upon the recent experiences. Blah. “I’ll stop smoking.” “I’ll work out more” “2007′s been…
