New York left a good impression despite its many flaws. The pollution, garbage and associated smells don’t detract from the energy of the place and the genuine love the natives have for it. From the outside it feels very parochial but wrapped within its very warm confines it feels like being part of a community. […] I have a small confession to make. I never did travel around Europe. I was squatting in a basement in Peckham, underneath a Reggae shop. I survived by luring pigeons towards me with an old packet of chips and eating them raw. My only excursions were to the internet cafe where I made up emails […] All through this trip I haven’t booked anything. It was not so much a plan as a philosophy, and while it was stupid, childish and landed me in the shit quite a lot, I also enjoyed the fact that it put me in unusual situations. I broke my code by booking two nights in Paris […] The Dam lived up to expectations but my expectations are probably different to some. You can have a few different experiences in the city. Drink 50 pints before throwing up all over yourself and your hooker, enter the cafe on Friday and emerge on Sunday night amid clouds of smoke, or take some magic mushrooms […] WARNING!

As for romantic, it’s hard to top a […] I’ve been watching the pigeons in the park and I could become quite a pigeon fancier. I never noticed on the pigeons in London but when the sun catches their neck it reveals glowing green and purple colouring. The pigeons in Verona are big and fat. If you can’t make it as a pigeon here […] I left you in a train in north Italy as the heavens opened resulting in the windows being forced shut and the train carriage reaching levels of humidity on a par with a rainforest. It’s not a place you want to be stuck in so I’ll move you on. I never wanted to go to […] I was staying in Zurich (emphasis on the rich) which is built around an enormous lake. You can see the other side of the lake but it’s so long that it stops being Zurich before the lake finishes. I was glad to be near some water as it was still damn hot. The first morning […] |
