Oh, and noooooo Bud dont leave us!!! (Thats what you really wanted everyone to say, huh?) Have fun and let us know about good stuff to watch when you come back.

for most GW members, threads where they declare absense is more enjoyed by us than threads where they declare their return.

The "I'm Going on Vacation" Thread
Going on a vacation?
Post about it here!
I am going to be studying for a semester at the University of Bologna in Italy. I'm leaving tomorrow night and won't be back in the old USA for several months. I am being put up in a hotel for 2 weeks but then I need to find an apartment or place to live in. My university in the States requires that all of my classes taken abroad be taught in the native tongue. Io posso parlare l'Italiano, ma non bene. So its going to be a really craze trying to adjust to a new culture and language and doing school stuff at the same time.
If anyone swings through Bologna feel free to look me up. I also plan on travelling around Europe when I have the free time. Somehow I doubt I'll make it to Sweden (bit far away)... so I won't be able to meet the infamous Terracosmo or any of you other nutty Swedes.
At first I was going to post this in one of the "Goodbye" threads, but those seem to be members' personal goodbyes and I don't really want to infringe on those. And then I got to thinking, I'm probably not going to say "Goodbye", because I'm not really leaving Gotwoot forever (don't look so disappointed!), so a "Goodbye" thread would be silly.
Then again.... I'm not going on vacation either... I'm actually taking a semester to study abroad. Still, well, you get the general point. Figure this thread might become a place for discussion of travel plans and maybe a way for Gotwoot members to rendezvous with each other.

I stopped reading at "University of Bologna"
-
The "I'm Going on Vacation" topic
I actually read the whole thing but all i picked up was that he will study in some place Italy and that he won't make it to Sweden, so i take it that we won't see you posting for an entire semester then?
Funny little note: Semester means vacation in swedish, there now i taught you a new word.

The "I'm Going on Vacation" topic
Bologna is not just a cheap and nasty deli meat. It is a city in central Italy, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, traditionally one of the wealthiest areas in Italy due to its flatness (therefore being the most lucrative agricultural area of Italy) and good weather. Here's a map for you really stupid ones...
http://www.goabbeyroad.com/images/ma...42_bologna.gif
It is also called "The Kitchen" of Italy, because of its restaurants and fresh markets.
The University of Bologna is the oldest European university that is still in existence. It was founded in 1088. Its considered one of Italy's best universities for traditional arts and sciences (humanities, social sciences, economics, the stuff I study). It is somewhat of a "college town", as so much of the city is based around the university.
Obviously you should have figured out from this post that this journey isn't going to mean I'm not going to appear around the forums. Tough shit if you were hoping I'd be gone for a long time.
Damnit Bud. I tried like ten searches so I would avoid remaking a topic. "I'll be gone" weren't any of the words I searched...

The "I'm Going on Vacation" topic
Ok, as soon as I finish exams (about mid-April) I'm going to the UK for 5-6 weeks of awesome vacation! I hope to see some of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. For low budget travelling, one of my friends recommended to me two sites: one is Global Freeloaders and the other is Couch Surfing. I'm just wondering if anyone here has done any travelling with either of these and has any recommendations/warnings. Secondly, I was wondering if anyone wants to recommend some must-see places or attractions within the UK. I'm still planning out my travel route, so anything is possible right now. The one thing that I have down as a 'for sure' on my list of things to do, is hiking a portion of Hadrian's Wall. I read a lot of historical fiction about Britain under the Roman Empire when I was a kid, and I've always wanted to go to the wall and see it.

Cant wait to hit the phillipines later this month..i was told the chicks are beautiful AND will get down for an ice cream cone and a smile (my jacuzzi suite wont hurt either). Im also taking absinthe whilst there, and i plan on making a film....that you all can watch on my website for $9.99 :cool:

Eat lots of Pinguins, and bring some back for us too, PLEASE! Have fun bumming it at AngelEyes' and don't wash too many dishes, ok. Take lots of pics.... You will be misses. Don't forget to carry your "mase" especially when you go to the gotwoot rolleyes meet up. lol. I also hope you do well on your finals, and when you rule the world; I get to live on the beach eating your home made cookies. *tear*
@ rockmanj ... have fun man, and make sure all those girls are over 18 DAMNIT lol:p :p :p . You know i am just playing with you. But your thought sometimes make me wonder, you know. Especially this one about making a movie and having a cover charge to view you....I might just have to keep a closer eye on you.... pervert.;) :p :D

Heh, it doesn't surprise me that Psyke got Sentei figures on his trip, but that he only got that many :p

You don't have a clue how much stuff I have. I'm in the midst of getting a new apartment. Will post pics when my renovations are done. :)
-
Haha, Psyke couldn't resist the allure of new figurines. Sounds like you're having a great time travelling around.
This is my official goodbye. After months of planning, I'm finally leaving! I can't believe it. I might be back once in a while, but you likely won't see much of me until mid-June. If anyone would like a postcard, send me your address and keep an eye on your mail. If I already have your address, then chances are I'll send you a postcard whether you want one or not :p
Take care, Gotwoot. Good luck with exams, to everyone that is still writing them. I'll see you all when I get back!
-
Have a fun, and safe trip!
-
@KitKat....have a wonderful trip, will monitor your webpage for updates. Although i don't know you very long, I will miss you.
Hope your apetite for adventure and travel is satisfied. Make sure you come back to us in one piece.:p
See ya soon.
good bye:o

Have a blast!

I thought I'd give you guys a quick update on my trip. It's been awesome so far. I saw all the London-y things that tourists are obliged to see, and then stopped in Cardiff and wandered around some castles whilst eating Welsh cakes. Now I am in the historic city of York, staying at a university residence, and planning to go out partying with them tonight as many are just finishing their exams. And I got my grades back, and found out that I didn't fail Engineering Economics after all, so I'll be celebrating the certainty of my graduation tonight as well. I miss you guys, I'll try to check back in the next time I'm at a computer.
-
You should post a pic of you, a couple of longbowmen (a Briton friend assured me these are still the sharpest edge of the British army) with a castle of your choice in the background.
I hope the rest of your trip will go as well, and the famous (or infamous rather) British weather will be pleasant enough.
-
Indeed, Pictures are needed KitKat.
Fly safe and have the most fun you can before you have to come back to you RL and RL problems. Make sure you still check in on us every now and again.

Oooh, I'm jealous... just one more week for me! :-P

Im leavin in like 4 hours...hope the forumes and IRC are ok without me ;)

glad to hear you're enjoying your trip, and yeah pics would be nice. Cheers, heres to your graduation. Your presences is truly missed but i guess thats how it is. Continue to enjoy your vacation.
Rockmanj... remember to make sure they are legal, damnit lol... Have a great time, enjoy yourself.

Yeah we need pics Kit Kat! Congratulations on your graduation as well, and hope to hear more of your trip soon.
For me I've just booked my tickets to Tokyo in end July, and I'm counting down the days when I visit Tokyo and Akihabara! Woo hoo~ :p
-
oh man, this place is great...i should visit manila more often
-
this is sorta weird and i guess it counts as vacation because technically i'm taking a break from school and what I've been doing for the past couple months...
I'm returning home for a couple days to the good old USA. Spending some time with family and friends who are still in the old hometown, then going up to school for a weekend. The weekend happens to be the weekend of the school's big concert and my frat's formal, which is always a blast.
Why would I leave beautiful Europe, get jetlagged going West, shell out tons of dough, get used to the time change, get jetlagged coming back East and then having to cram for my last finals?
Seniors are graduating. I got to see the aging motherfuckers off, it wouldn't feel right if i didn't do a proper goodbye to the people i've spent about all of college with, some of which only god knows when I'll see again. Oh, and they have no clue I'm coming back, and i've planned out the absolute best time to make my surprise entrance. And I'll be shacking up with my girl up at school, and that's always fun.
But yeah, the old wallet is taking a beating from this trip... oh well, they say you can't take it with you anyway.
-
Hey guys. I guess technically this isn't a vacation, but anyway, I graduated last night and I'm about to pull the plug on my computer and head home. Since we have dial up everything is annoyingly slow so I don't know how often I'll come back to post and whatnot. But it's been fun, even though I've only hung around here for a short time. This forum has made for a great way to procrastinate and get info! Hehe.
So I bid you toodles (yes, toodles - it's what I say), and have fun downloading!!

I'm going to be in Praha in the Česká republika until some time next week. As such you probably won't see much of me, although I'm sure I'll wind up at an internet cafe to bore you with my stories and immoderate some noobs.
Here's to the hope that the old Bloc is as cheap as they say it is! (although, since everyone knows Prague as a tourist spot I'm sure even their crappy exchange rate (22 Czech Korun -crowns- to the dollar 28 Korun to the Euro) won't keep them from trying to rip the rich westerners off.
Ahoj!
-
The beer is supposed to be very good there, but don't drink yourself senseless despite of that (well, not too many times, anyway).
-
czech republic is everything i hoped it would be.
tons of beautiful blodne girls, kickass clubs, some nice sights in the city
best of all, shit is so damn cheap. Beers are around 30 krowns and up thatts like 1.50dollar. i can hardly beleive i can spend so much time and get such great food, go to a club and wind up only spending like 30 dollars in a night.
-
Sounds nice Masa. If you liked the women in the Czech republic you should visit Sweden Norway or Denmark, in my opinion Scandinavian girls are the hottest in Europe.
In 12 days i'm going to Bulgaria to party with my friends. 5kr(swedish money) for one shot of tequila down there, that's like 65 cents, i don't know what the price on a shot of Tequila is in all your home countries but in Sweden it costs you at least 5 bucks at most places.
EDIT: Okay so today i'm going to Bulgaria, see you suckers in a week!
-
Alright, update on where I'm at!
Last night at 5am, after 42 straight hours on the train/bus, I finally arrived in Vancouver. I have two words that describe my trip: Freight Delay. See, I learned that Amtrak doesn't actually own the railroad tracks. They get to use them for free, and sell very cheap train tickets because of that. The downside is that Union Pacific does own the tracks, and therefore the freight trains always have first priority. We spent a lot of time sitting and waiting for them to go by. This resulted in an accumulated 6.5 hour delay, which the train conductor managed to whittle down to 5 hours by some speedy driving near the end of the trip. My one other complaint is that my train car was minus a billion degrees, and I had trouble sleeping the first night because I was so cold. I was wearing half my clothes - pyjamas underneath jeans, multiple shirts - and I still froze. They fixed it the next day and the following night I slept the sleep of the dead.
The train journey itself was gorgeous. We wound through the Sacremento River Valley, passed by Crater Lake, travelled high into the Cascade Mountains; every hour brought new and beautiful scenery. Even though it took a really long time, I'm glad I took the train instead of flying. I'm only sad that we came into Seattle when it was dark. I would have liked to see that mountain that Seattle has nearby.
So yes, lots of fun in Vancouver ahead the next few days! After this, my 7 week vacation is officiallly over, and I have to go back to the real world, and find a job and stuff. *Sigh*
-
Oooooooooo, Vancouver's a beautiful city. Lots of great food and shopping. Hope you'll have a blast there.

In 2 days, I'm leaving for Hultsfred, which is the most renowned summer festival here in Sweden.
3 days of music and great company, and more booze than I can possibly handle.
It will RAWK.

i just came back from Amsterdam. One of these days I'm going to do a very detailed 'Masa ranks Europe' post in this thread, but until then, imagine how kickass Amsterdam was, now multiply that by ten and you'll have an idea. :)
-
And here's a report of my adventures at the summer festival I attended.
It consisted of 3 days, day X, day Y and day Z, which shared a common theme: no sleep, and LOTS of alcohol.
Day X was ever so cute. I went around and played J-Pop on my stereo, it was so fucking hilarious how everybody would look at me and my mates (let's just say that the average swede doesn't know very much about japanese music). I had a blackout later towards the evening and then woke up at 11 PM. My mates took me to see a band and a girl came up to me and said "want a beer?" which I started drinking and then we made out (man, that girl sure knew how to pick up guys..). Overall, great day. I looked so hot in my pink shades and jeans with torn sides lol
Day Y was wonderful. Drunk as fuck (I was gone as early as 6 am) and I also met Karin there who ended up being my "festival girlfriend" (we held hands and partied together during the remainder of the festival, and yes, had sex a couple of times.. great sex too by the way). She called me beautiful! Wee! I love being called beautiful. It's a great word. Anyway I also saw HIM live and I was in the absolute front ^^ I could almost touch Ville Valo's legs. Orgasmic.
Day Z was also great though I was feeling a bit sick. Alcohol solved that problem. Drunk as fuck once again and watched several bands. I got a free cider from a bartender too. She said "can you lower the volume of music coming from the stage?" and I was like "wtf lol how could I do that? By using mental powers? The stage is at the other side of the festival". And JUST when I said that, the volume lowered itself. The bartender was like "what the hell! how did you do that?" and I got a free cider LOL. She was probably drunk too.
All in all, awesome festival, will definitely go again next year. And in a week I will probably meet Karin again. Good days!
-
not really a vacation, but I'm returning from Italy in three days, June 21st. I'll be at home for just under a week before I go up to school for summer session.
-
Tomorrow I'm heading out for London, England. A few days after that I'll be flying to China for a few weeks (visiting Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Xian) which will be awesome. After that I'll be heading back to England to spend the rest of the Summer with my family who lives there.
I won't be using the computer as much, so this is "goodbye until August, Gotwoot". But I'll be checking in from time to time - especially to see how GWS is progressing. See y'all later and enjoy your Summer.
-
I haven't been posting lately because I'm on my honeymoon. Wohoo! I got married June seventeenth, and the last few days have been awesome. I'll give a full report (minus the hotel room antics) once I get back home; I hate using the computers at the Holiday Inn.
-
Congratulations on the marriage!
Me, starting on July the 2nd I'll be visiting San Francisco (the only city in the USA which I actually like), and will be staying there for twenty days or so, doing... I dunno, things most of you would think utterly boring? I can't drink without spending the next three days throwing up anyway....
Yeah, well, wish me luck. I love Frisco.

I think I might be going to Sweden for some 2-day workshop in end September. Some place called Kista in Stockholm (???).
Since there seems to be a good many Swedes in this forum (with Terra coming first to mind ^^), just wondered if anyone can offer any good travel advice. Like what's the weather gonna be like, whether the hotels are gonna cost a bomb in Kista, any nice sightseeing sites nearby etc etc...

China's pretty great, but I can't see the fucking sky. What's up with that? Is it pollution or perhaps just the humidity? I'm in Shanghai at the moment and loving it, but after 4 days of shrimp and rice I needed some Western food. Thank God for America's grasp on the rest of the world (which I'd usually complain about). Chinese Pizza Hut for the win.

A restaurant in China owned by Americans offering Italian food. Yeah. Sounds like a genuine (spaghetti) Western place alright...

I have liked Stockholm a lot, the few times I have been there. Have fun!

Mainly starting this thread to announce that I'll be gone for two weeks starting Saturday... I'll be heading to the Virgin Islands...

The weather is gonna suck. Rainy and cloudy all the time. I don't think Kista even has any hotels, never been there. And sightseeing, well if you find anything cool to see give me a call. To my knowledge there is hardly anything worth seeing in this country at all, exept for me of course.
