It never ceases to amaze me at seeing a grown adult riding a scooter around Vienna. I see them everywhere and just don't understand. Maybe because back in Canada scooters are seen as a children's toy but I don't see the point. Does a scooter really get you from point A to point B any sooner? And I am not taking about scooters you sit on and drive, I am talking about scooters that are made out of aluminum, that you kick-push on and can fold up into a smaller version to carry lol. So confused!
Anyways, sorry for the rant. :) This last week was amazing! Megan decided to finish her 5 months of traveling off in Vienna with me; so awesome to see a familiar face from home. We had a crazy week that involved little sleep, an amusement park, shopping and lots of laughing. I have missed that crazy girl! Sounds like she had an amazing trip and I hope the week with me was a perfect send off to back home lol :).
Also this week was GAME 5!!! I am so excited that the Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Finals!! But also, I am really sad. This is the first time being away from home that I have ever gotten home sick. Sounds somewhat of a weird thing to get homesick over (well people here think that lol) but I am a little homesick. Usually I would be back home, celebrating with friends, drinking, cheering, yelling, watching the game at normal hours of the day, and maybe even going to a game in the finals. What I would give to go to a game in this series! Its just hard being so far from it all. I am so proud to be Canadian, a BC'er and especially a Canucks fan right now! Its funny how people here think I am crazy, that I get up at 2 or 3 am and watch hockey all night. SO many people have asked me "Why don't you just watch it in the morning?" WHY?! You can't watch hockey the next morning, I NEED to watch it live; I HAVE to stream it live! Especially when its the playoffs, no way am I watching it the next morning!
Time is winding down here; I booked my flight out of Vienna to start my traveling today. I leave Vienna June 29 and head to Belgium for a week before joining my parents in a car adventure through a bit of France, Switzerland and Austria. They might join me and my friend in Turkey, then I still have Greece and ending in Paris with 3 amazing friends I met here. Going home will be bittersweet; I really hope I will get to see these amazing people lots more in my life - going to be hard to say goodbye. But actually, I won't be saying goodbye, I prefer see you later because I will make sure I see them again xo.
