Awesome A's!

The A's stand for Aussies and Austrians. Everyone here is awesome!Last night we went out to a bar called "torino" in venice and we stayed out pretty late. we had some wonderful wine and met some wonderful people. We met three Australian girls, one of them, named loren, who told us all about australia. she is a teacher and to get to work she has to travel 4 times a year by two planes. very crazy. she teaches in a small aboriginal community. it was fun getting to know them and we all exchanged information. The next day we woke up and left early for vienna. we arrived after a 10 hour train ride but we had the whole cabin to ourselves. we met a young man on the train who asked us where we are traveling and we said we were from america. he told us how lucky we were and how he wants to come live there one day. he said "here is the rest of the world and america is a world of its own". kind of puts in perspective how lucky we really are. anyway, vienna is HUGE! anyway we unpacked in our closet sized room and head out for some sight seeing. we saw the am hoff where mozart first performed and then the freyung fountain/square where the people were liberated during the 18th century (i am not 100% clear on this). Anyway it was awesome . this random man told us that we should go follow this road down to the lights and so we did. it was amazing (u have to see the pictures to believe me). but it was absolutely spectacular. there were lights decorating the entire walkway and we went to a nice cafe to enjoy dessert and warm drinks. it was nice .we met an austrian man there who was testing out his english on us and he was pretty funny especially since he told us he likes bollywood films. tomorrow we are off to see the vienna history museum, the hapsburg palace, and the stefansdom square/cathedral. more later!

Attacks on Mumbai

Here is a letter my uncle wrote to the PM. I hope you all can understand the terror and grief people are experiencing as a result of these attacks... LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. Enough is enough. As such af...

Say Fromage!

Try saying that instead of ¨say cheese¨next time you take a picture. Man am I loving Europe! I arrived in Spain today after a long but fun train ride from Paris. Ok let me fill you guys in. Last I left off I was telling you about how we were planning on seeing the Lourve, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Pantheon. We made it to all three but with very sore feet. Our bodies took a toll from the 10 hours of walking we did the day before. The Pantheon was a nice place because it provided us with a cool atmosphere. In the Pantheon there are graves of famous people like Emile Zola, Rousseau, and many more. It was interesting to see. It was just a beautiful building. The Notre Dame Cathedral was obviously really beautiful. For some reason I find cathedrals really relaxing and beautiful. The stained glass painting are breathtaking and so peaceful... makes me even more excited for my travel to Italia. The Lourve was HUGE!!! I mean it is on its own another city. We didn´t get to see all of it but ...

Off I go...

I am sitting here in my basement and I am getting more and more excited! People always dream and talk about how they will one day drop everything and go to Europe... and I get to make that dream come true! Finally, years of saving up and it is going to be spent on the most amazing trip of my life. True I am going with 3 interesting men and NO girls (where my girls at?!?!) but I love them so it's all good. I will try to keep this updated as much as I can and I will post pictures. E-mail me your addys if you want postcards ( amisha01@yahoo.com ). Love you all and wish me well on my journey to... EUROPE!!!! WOO HOO!
