backpacker

im leaving for my month long trip.

im taking my laptop (security reasons) (and i feel to attached to this apple), so ill try to chronicle my fun along the way, with some pictures.

have a great break!

my dinner:

i claim to be experimenting with cooking these days, so in order to make people believers, ill provide evidence.

this looks better in real life than it does in this picture (because of the flash and because..it just is)













(click picture for closeup)

on this plate:

lettuce w/ evoo & fresh ground pepper
veggie 'bangers' (sausages)
madras curry salmon
mashed potatoes (mixed with paprika, herbs & fresh ground pepper) w/ onion gravy
garlic bread (as you can tell, i was hungry while i was cooking, so i ate a piece of one)
german white wine

note: i couldnt make all this from scratch. i had to use premade curry sauce because i didnt have any ingredients to make it. haha. also, the onion gravy was something my housemate left, so i used some.

anyway. i gotta practice my 'food photography'. hahah.

the dinner was good. the wine was okay. and now im watching iron chef and falling into a slow food coma with some hot chocolate.

all my children

so.

some of my housemates left the house a mess. they were suppose to clean up their shit before they went home and i thought they would, but alas, when i ventured into the kitchen, there was food everywhere, unwashed dishes, cig butts, empty beer cans, 5 full garbage bags and tons of shit all over the floor.

the house gets inspected during the break, and if it isnt clean, the 'superintendent' calls in cleaners and charges the students living in the house.

man. fucking children. i live with a bunch of spoiled mothafuckin children who cant pick up after themselves.

and people wonder why i barely hang out with them?

sheeeeeeeiiitttt (c) state senator clay davis (the wire)

so instead of going to town today to purchase backpacking goods, i stayed in and tried to make the house and kitchen look decent. i tried to clean the dirt off the floor, but it was cake-layered. shit was uncleanable. i washed about 1/3 of the dishes before i got annoyed and just shoved them into other people's cabinets. i dont care if they grow mothafuckin mold up in those mothafuckin cabinets. as long as i cant see those fucking dirty ass dishes when i go into the kitchen, im fine.

man. i should have taken a picture of the mess just to show how bad it is.

anyway. now im bored out of my mind and wanting to drink.

but ill watch my batman/justice league cartoons and drink hot chocolate instead.

happy winter break yall.

my fellow american exchange student friend allowed me to borrow her europe travel guide by lonely planet (best travel site in existence) and instead of studying and outlining essays, ive been reading this book all day. this book is the zeus of travel books and will make my month long backpacking journey easier (hopefully). it has everything i need to know about all the european countries. history, museums, events, clubs, bars, hostels, main attractions, key phrases in different languages, daily itineraries and fun facts. did you know that belgium is famous for its prostitutes that dress up as bears and have sex with their customers in the wilds of brussels? yea. that was a joke. i cant wait to eat a massive belgium waffle. i will have sex with it. glorious, sugary, carb sex.

i dont eat like i use to eat back home. my eating habits have changed. i use to eat whatever i wanted because food was so easily available and i could drive 5 minutes and get anything i wanted. now? shoot. i rarely eat food for its deliciousness. i eat cheap food so that i can save money or eat according to the date a food product expires. just today, my dinner was boiled potatos (that i laced with herbs, spices and cheese. it reminded me of appetizers you pay 10 bucks for at american restaurants) and blueberries. hahah. my blueberries expired last week, so i picked out the healthy ones and ate them. mmm. antioxidants. however, there is a positive side to my eating. ive started to experiment with cooking and its turning out better than i expected. last week, i marinated two pieces of salmon in white wine for 6 hours and then oven grilled it with herbs, fresh black pepper, garlic, chili and topped it off with this random sauce i made (i believe it was made with blackberries and white wine). it was AMAZING. i made some mashed potatoes to go along with it, and yea, i surprised myself. i credit IRON CHEF for this. my countless hours of watching iron chef is starting to pay off. all i do is go online, go to class and cook, so i think i can work my way up to achieving the title of IRON CHEF KOREA. yea.

i drink too much. well, when compared to the english and welsh, i dont drink at all. however, i do get tipsy two nights a week and i realized that my tolerance is not as high as i thought it was. this weekend, i had 4 screwdrivers and 4 beers and i was tipsy as shit. donald and helen can vouch for that. the thing is, when i get tipsy, im by myself. that would make me an alcoholic right? just an hour ago, i had half a bottle of baileys (more alcoholic than i remember) and 2 beers. its only tuesday. i gotta give up this european drinking habit before i leave, because ill need to be sober until i turn 21.

i already know what im going to post on the next update. stay tuned readers.
