home!

i just got back to paris a few hours ago from probably the best two weeks of my life. again, we spent two weeks traveling from vienna to prague to barcelona to marrakech. i'm pretty sunburnt, i have henna tattoos all over my hands and feet, i've a new handcrafted wood, silver, and black onyx bracelet that some old berber woman deep in the moroccan atlas mountains slaved over, i've learnt to love bratwurst, i've realized the coolest architecture in the world is prague's gothic stuff EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, i'm hoping Chiozo gets his 10 billion dollars from southern spain to propel his idea of a thriving africa, and i've learnt to appreciate the tactics of a good beggar.

i'm going to try to recount the happenings of a city per day over the next 4 days, but odds are it will take me longer than a day to account for one city. words can't really describe my experiences and sentiments; i will try nonetheless.

so, let the games begin... tomorrow. i'm tired now.

cheers, jhabra

spring break

so, my spring break starts tomorrow. i'm leaving first thing in the morning to vienna. then we're heading to prague and barcelona. we're finishing up our two week quest in marrakech, morocco. it's going to be epic. pictures and posts from the past three weeks will follow.

cheers, jhabra

passover and such

tomorrow marks the day when moses led the jews out of slavery. it's all there in the old testament, which is a wonderful story told to my people in order to distract them from the fact that they did not have air conditioning. anywho, this means no more bread for a week... i have no idea how i'm going to pull this off in the land of the world's best bread... ever. and on top of that, i'll be going to vienna, prague, barcelona, and marrakech, starting on saturday! yay spring break.

in other news, i had a wonderful trip to normandy this past weekend. probably the most fun i've had while i've been here because of a story i will find time to type when i'm not too busy... i have copious amounts of work to do this week...

cheers, jhabra
