Level 3-3: City With A Syndrome

...Which sounds like a good name for a band, but unfortunately the only music you'll be hearing is me playing my own trumpet. Here we go: Stockholm!

And when you work out exactly what it is you're seeing here, you'll be as amazed as I was about Stockholm.

Level 3-2: Hardly Coping in Copenhagen

Actually I was doing just fine, I just couldn't think of anything more less lame to call it.

The thirty-seventh in a four hundred and eighty-two part photography series titled "Statues of Dudes on Horses".

Level 3-1: Berlin, Take Two

Well, here's the one you haven't been waiting for - my first in a 3927 part series about my summer holidays. While everyone else organised flights and sunny destinations together, I guilt-tripped because they were going to visit me and then didn't suggested to my parents to spend my university fees on a tour which would take me to both the Arctic Circle and Russia... as you do.
Oh, and a glacier. You know how it is.

Level 2-4: Florence On Your Machine

With so many glowing reviews of my previous blog post, I've caved to public and financial pressure and rushed out a poorly-formed, badly acted sequel, with none of the characters you liked from the original. Take solace in the knowledge that you're not paying anything for this - except your precious time and your internet fee!

Level 2-3: When (we were) In Rome

I began writing this a long (long, long) time ago - considering my track record, it would probably take me about a month to re-write two paragraphs, so I'm leaving them as they are. So, enjoy this outdated introduction to an even more outdated blog post!

Level 2-2: Venice

Howdy again everybody! Did you have a good night's sleep? What did you have for breakfast this morning? Is Amazing Race Australia any good? These are the questions we all must ask ourselves as human beings - well, okay, maybe not. I just thought I'd find out how Australia's doing, before I go back to writing about Italy.

Level 2-1: Milan

In a week where The Chaser's wedding coverage was killed, before Chas Licciardello's alter-ego was as well, it's nice to be back to the normality of work life. Goodness knows what would've happened if I was still in Italy - more on that in a second - with absolutely no knowledge of Italian. Spent a whole day of my holiday on CNN, I expect.

Level 1-4: Berlin, Deutschland

Oh yeah, no interesting title this time. I figured that announcing that I went to a different country would probably count as interesting enough. That, and I'm really hungry as I'm writing this. Bear with me if I repeat things, if I misspell words, if I repeat things, or I start typing in German.

Level 1-3: New Year's in London - Happy 2013!

My excuse for this one being very, very late is that it has moving parts. And no, the batteries aren't included. You're not paying for this! Go get your own!

Level 1-2: Town of Ice and Fog

Heathrow Airport was an interesting experience. We parted ways with Aisling as she went off to the Funky Passport Express Lane (proving that being Irish is indeed a super-power), while we spent half an hour in the 'foreigners' lane. It was about as much fun as it sounds.

Level 1-1: A Day Airborne

I realise that this happened more than a month ago - last year, in fact - but it would seem odd to begin a blog primarily about living overseas without detailing how I ended up there.
