Scott Long's Words of experiences

SO i tried updating this and it got deleted… All the words gone… try again

Its really hot in paris. LIke really hot. i sweat off like 50lbs over the first two days

Day one i got in at like five, then proceeded to get lost… FOR TWO HOURS. I found where paris ends, you go down this one road then theres construction, to try to make it bigger i guess, then the street just ends, just fucking ends! 

finally found my hostel and they had an open mic night. guess how many countries i suck at stand up in… well all of them but yeah the whole “language barrier” didnt help, the people who spoke english were laughing though, all 10 of them.

day 2 i had to find a different hostel cause everywhere is booked in paris (it was a monday dont normal people have jobs?)

got into the hostel dropped off my baggage and went to the arc de triumph. It was gorgeous, and big, reallly lived up to its name. also it had stone boobies which are always a plus.

i then went to the eiffel tower, took the stairs to the first level… that SUCKED. there was some little kid sprinting up them while im winded more than halfway through… luckily my best friend the elevator was waiting to take me to the top. That view is incredible, you could see everything. I mean i saw everything everywhere and you cant doubt me reader you havent been there (unless you have then shhh)

After thoroughly sweating my balls off all day i went back to the 2nd hostel, and sweated my balls off there in my room… parisians dont get ventilation 

Day three woke up and headed to the lourve. Upon my arrival something was off… there were NO lines… “this is incredible!” i said thinking i was in my head, “No lines, I may actually go in and see art!” then a wild sign appeared, “Lourve closed on Tuesdays…” WTF who closes on a tuesday?!?! I took some pictures and headed to Notre Dame. 

Notre dame was awesome! Didnt go inside since the line was huge. If you couldnt tell I REALLY hate lines… they suck. but the outside was incredible and in the back was a playground! 

I headed out north and saw a big church building i forgot the name of… didnt matter i was there to see the Dali exhibit at the museum a street over. That was really cool it had a bunch of his art and pictures of his mustache. i took one of those photo booth things and got my own mustace digitally added (im a tourist im allowed to)

Now im back, had some food some drinks and am going to try to find my soon international rhyming buddy Nick Strong

Keep it real and dont die

Scott “scott” long

ps LOOK AT THE BIG ASS DOG I POSTED!!! HE WAS HUGE AND I WANTED TO TAKE HIM WITH ME!!!! SO I DID! (no i didnt)

Greetings earthlings!

So after venice i took the trains all day and night to get to berlin… that was a bit hellish. im learning more and more each day i am not european sized. i had a sleeping cabin but the bed was like 5’8” by 2’… i didnt fit very well and only had like a foot and a half of headroom. plus the showers at hotels and hostels ive stayed ive had to squeeze into and stairways i barely fit through… IM TOO BIG!

after dealing with it i had arrived in berlin. found my hostel and took a walk around town. this place was awesome. so many old buildings. there were also patches on the walls cause you know that whole big war that happened. again i dont know the names of any of the buildings i saw but i knew they were important. there was an awesome group of breakdancers too. 

Oh as for the bear picture… this took me fore ever to figure out cause they had bears all over… BERlin-> BEARlin… im suprised i didnt have to take special courses throughout my life…

I also went into the TV tower (the picture thats is about balls) and you could look out the windows. It was cool. 

now im in amsterdam… but its shitty outside and im not sure what to do right now. i may have gotten a contact high cause im SOO FUCKING HUNGRY. everything sounds delicious. 

but yeah you know in Eurotrip in the credits/bloopers the hostel is all sketchy… i feel like that could happen here… not as bad but im not 100% comfortable having my bags not near me

Anyway thats all for now

EXCELSIOR!!!!

So, Venice is pretty much amazing. so pretty, so vibrant, so fishy. I spent the last two days walking around town taking pictures of things you know the whole tourist deal. Most of what i took pictures of were churches… but they all had towers and each one needed its own picture. 

while walking i found out im really good at circles… kept ending up back at the point i started. 

Also venice is a giant nerdgasm for anyone who played assassins creed 2. there where so many places where it looked familiar and couldnt figure out why. then i remembered i killed someone here (virtually U.S gov dont freak out and not let me back in to the country). That made everything infinitly more exciting and also made me realize how nerdy i am… who cares it was awesome. 

food here was awesome. got me some muscles and just destroyed it. 

im off to germany today i wont get in to berlin until tomorrow though. long ass train ride bleh

until next time

you stay classy america

The plane ride and days one and two 

First off planes need to get better chairs… that shit was not comfortable for 8 hours. 

Also its never funny to say “how long do you think it would take to hit the ground if we fell from up here?” cause you think your quiet so only your new friend next to you can hear you but you forget your wearing headphones and end up shouting it.

thirdly Ever notice how the air conditioning nozzle kinda looks like a boob… not like a good boob a weird one… think about it.

I got it on sunday at 8ish Rome time and was immediately hit with a million different feelings at once. Most of all i was terrified. I was really thinking i shoulda had a better plan or at least gone with someone who i could confer with. day one was more stressful than exciting. I was just trying to get my bearings and most importantly find a shower and place to sleep. I finally found one at noon and had to wait 3 hours for my room to get ready. before i saw the Piazza del Popolo which is a lot harder to enjoy when your lugging around two backpacks in high 80 degree weather. but after finaly getting into a hostel i took a shower and a 18 hour nap… Yeah ridiculous 

There was almost an international crisis day one when i dropped my hat… Luckily it was found and the hostages were released. 

SO today i woke up after my 18 FUCKING HOUR NAP (seriously WTF) fully rested I went out to see the sights. Rome may not have been built in a day but you can see all of it in less than one. Yeah i saw the Colosseum, trevi fountain (yes jacob it was quite magical) made two wishes at the fountain (superpowers), the panthenon (i think), a big ass white building with stairs and statues of what i believe are the four horses of the apocolypse and some other old buildings and ruins. I kept thinking about Assassin’s creed the whole time. 

I would have taken some pictures of food… but i ate it all before i thought of it. :/ It was pretty damn delicious though. Fucking gelato is crazy awesome. Stop what your doing and get some like now. I had some rad pastas and wines one was like spaghetti the other pasta was gnocci i dont remember the name of the wine.

I wish to end this reflection with a fuck you to lady gaga and all who listen to her. Every time someone said “Roma” bad romance would get stuck in my head and wouldnt get out. probably the worst thing to ever happen

Im headed to Venice tomorrow. should be cool.
