This is my list of cities and countries I want to visit this upcoming semester:
- Munich, Germany- I really want to go to Oktoberfest!
- London, England- I hope the riots end soon, not only because I want to visit but because it’s tragic that people are destroying the city.
- Paris, France- I’ll probably only stay a few days
- Barcelona, Spain
- Edinburgh, Scotland
- Athens, Greece
- Prague, Czech Republic
- Warsaw, Poland
- TO BE CONTINUED…
- Stay at hotels in business districts for lower weekend rates
- Carry dried ginger root to combat seasickness
- Keep standard packing lists (one for business, one for summer vacation, etc.) in your suitcase, then edit them as necessary
- Look for midweek flight deals
- Dress smartly on airplanes- wear…
Harry Potter travel posters by Caroline Hadilaksono.
What if muggles get to enter the wizarding world? It’s completely plausible. Ron once said that almost all witches and wizards nowadays are either half-bloods or muggle-borns. With the end of Voldemort’s reign, muggle-borns and muggles would be accepted by the wizarding world as equals. One day it might just be possible that the divide between the magical and the non-magical world would be lifted. That non-magical folks would finally be aware of the existence of the wizarding world. And when that day comes, muggles are going to be blown away by all the magic that they’ve been missing all these years. It’s literally a whole new world that they’ve got to explore.
That’s the idea behind these travel posters, they promote the magical world as travel destinations to non-magical people.
Ciao, tutti!
I want to begin my first Roman post by apologizing for the delay. I arrived in Rome a week late, so I had an unbelievable amount of catching up to do.
Two days before my scheduled departure, I was out shopping with my mom. All of a sudden she hugged me and said, “Oh, Addie, I wish I…
My first post from Italy!
Ciao a tutti!
I have officially been in Rome a week and I have been failing MISERABLY at writing every night. But I do have an excuse! I’m still jetlagged so I’m still half asleep during the day.
Before I left my family and I took some pictures together. My little brother looks like he is not…
Today my slice of margherita pizza cost me 1€ less than it did yesterday. The price of food in restaurants here in Rome seems to be arbitrary. Sure, they weigh it, but really they just go through the motions so the customer doesn’t think he or she is getting ripped off!
Every time I visit a bar…
Ciao a tutti!
I just got out of the shower and I feel so at home. Turns out showers are total jerks no matter where you are in the world! There must be a worldwide shower code of ethics that we don’t know about.
- Thou shalt not remain at a constant temperature.
- Thou shalt become scalding hot…
Ciao a tutti!
Today was such a relaxing day. I stayed out late last night so my friend Madi and I decided to sleep in and have a chill day. I woke up around 11:30 this morning, took a shower, then met up with Madi for a cappuccino in a small caffé near my apartment.
From the caffé, we walked to…
Rome is built on nothing if not sordid histories, and Castel Sant’Angelo is no exception. Built by Emperor Hadrian in the second century, the castle has seen its share of death, religion, and sex. The large structure began its life as a tomb for Emperor Hadrian and his family. For more than a…
