LONDON CALLING
So much to talk about.
I left Bruge for Brussels. I sat next to a man with horrible BO. But who am I to talk.
Got to Brussels and got harrased by the UK immigration Bitch. She corrected me on how to say Newfoundland. I got through that ordeal. And I boarded a train to London where I met the man reading over my shoulder this very second, Luke Ryalls. We had a beer in London before we hopped a bus to Bath where we met Nicole. The three of us tore up Bath. That city will never be the same.
We are now in Cardiff so Luke can pick up his stuff before he comes home. Luke and I are going to London tomorrow where we plan to punch the queen.
More updates to come, including pictures

I Killed My Knees
Brugge has turned out to be a giant drinking-fest. My two dorm mates are these two aussies named Alex and Jason. All three of us have been travelling alone, and our first night here in Brugge we decided to go out and have a couple beers at the bar at the hostel. This is where we met Claire another Aussie and Maude who is French. The five of us decided to go to central Brugge where we found a little club, that wasn't to impressive. Apparently Monday nights arn't big drink nights, but we made the best of it, thanks to tequilla.
The next day the five of us went and had a Belgium waffles, which were delicious, we also walked around the city a lot, and then we decided to climb the 366 step Belfry here in Brugge. If you are ever in Brugge I recommend doing it, you get an incredible view. After that we went to the Choclate Museum. Did you know choclate prevents cavities? I didn't. We also saw a demonstation on how choclate is made and of course there was free choclate.
As we were walking back to the hostel my knees started to feel funny, jello legs. Luckily an hour long nap and a little stretching and I was all ready to go drink the night away. Which I did. We met some Kiwi's(New Zealanders) at the hostel and we took them to the club we went the night before. The bartender at the club bought us all shots, I guess we were considered regulars. We ended the night with some Belgium frittens (fries). Apparently they were invented here and you are never suppose to call them French Fries.
Next stop London and Bath.

Brugge or Bust
I have just landed in Brugges. It is a beautiful day here.
Brussels was alright. It is a very noisy city. The best part of Brussels was the Grand Market. It is a very cool square with shops and museums. A lot of old buildings. I ate some delicious belgian chocolate and drank some delicious belgian beer.
I had a private room in Brussels which was awesome. My last night in Amsterdam I had a full 12 people in the dorm and between the two people tag team snoring and the annoying Austrailian guy listening to techno music, I was ready to snap.
I hope everyone is doing well. Keep sending the emails and blog comments. It's great hearing news from home.

Leaving Nether-Nether-lands
Tonight is my last night here in this very interseting country. I have many memories. The giant park in Rotterdam, the giant hookers in the Red Light District, and the giant statues of Emperial Japan I just saw at the Van Gogh Museum.
The Van Gogh Museum was a very cool experience. Along with the large collection of some amazing works by Van Gogh, there was also a large exhibit on Emperial Japan. Great statues, vases, and paintings. Van Gogh did some very cool Japan inspired work. My favourite period had to be the time he spent in Southern France. Great Paintings.
Today was a much different day then yesterday. Today was Van Gogh and amazing art, yesterday was The Sex Museum(there's so much I don't know) and the Hash, Marijaunna, and Hemp Museum. The Pot Museum was basically a building full of pro-marijaunna propaganda. It is right next to a greenhouse and I did get to see some very large plants.
Tomorrow I'm off to Brussels, to work on my beer muscles.

Lazy Day In Amsterdam
Today is a grey and miserable day here in Amsterdam. It has been raining on and off all day. This has kind of ruined my plans to walk to the Van Gogh museum. I think I am going to a couple things that are a bit closer to my hotel. Yesterday I took a canal ride through the city. It was very cool, both literally and figuretively.
Not much else to say. I am looking forward to going to Brussels in Friday. I don't know if I'm more excited about visiting a new country or the fact that I have a private room for 3 days.

I Got A Contact High Walking Down The Street.
I have rolled into Amsterdam. And guess what the first thing I did was, Come On Guess. Weed, hooker, something else Well I'm going to leave it up to every ones imagination.(I actually got lost finding my hotel, that's the first thing I did).
I am also getting a contact high as I write this. My hotel is in the Red Light District, but it is in a quiet area. The only way I can describe the Red Light district is that it is a trip. I don't know how else to describe it. Weird, crazy, bizarre don't do it justice. And its only 1:05pm I can't imagine this place at night.

Pass the Dutchie
I have landed here in Rotterdam. It seems like a nice city. Everyone here looks like my dutch uncle. It was cool taking the train today. Some awesome scenic views of Germany and the Netherlands. I am here for a few days before I head down to the red light district and the rest of Amsterdam.

Searching For German Heavy Metal Bars
Hello all.
After getting a good nights sleep last night (15 hours) I am feeling refreshed, and soar. I am soar because my bed is not that comfortable. Who would have thought hostel beds wouldn't be the most comfortable.
Frankfurt is kind of a boring city. I am leaving here early Thursday morning for Rotterdam in the Netherlands. I am spending two days in Rotterdam before I go to Amsterdam. I did some reading on the place I am staying at in Amsterdam. It is called the Bulldog Hotel and it is in The Red Light District. The cafe below the hotel is also the first marijauna cafe in the city. After learning all this I tried to change my reservations because I'm not down with sex or drugs, but alas I could not and I have to stay at this hotel.
From Amsterdam I think I am going to go check out Belgium. I have also been checking out ways to get to Cardiff so I can come see you Nicole. I may take a train from Brussels to London and then London to Cardiff, I'll keep you posted. Maybe I'll be there for Halloween.
Later peeps

The Neltoid Has Landed
Well I am here in Frankfurt Germany. I have been up for the past 14 or so hours and I am starting to feel a little tired. It is 835 in the morning here and I can not check into my room until 2. I made the decision to take a cab to my hostel. This was a great move on my part, why you might ask, because my cab was a mercedes benz and we were going ridiculously fast on the Autoban. It was awesome. My hostel is situated right by the main train station as well as many sex shops and internet cafes. Everything a guy needs.
I was shocked at how fast it seemed my plane rides were. It felt like I barely left Saskatoon before we started landing procedures into Toronto. The Toronto flight was good because there was no one beside me and I got to stretch a bit. I missed time my layover in TO, I thought it was a couple hours it ended up only being like 40 minutes. The plane here to Frankfurt was packed no stretching for this 8 hour flight. I sat beside this nice older guy from Victoria who was on his way to Bucharest.
Flying at night is awesome, about an hour outside of Frankfurt we could see the lights of Amsterdam, it looked amazing. I ended up getting a little sleep on the plane. I unfortunately slept through Nacho Libre staring Jack Black. I will never know whether he got the girl or became a great Luchadore. I was however awake for the Notebook staring McGosling. There love was the strongest love ever.
I am sorry I did not get to see you jeff and kim before I left. Until February.
Well that is it for now.
I love you all

Don't Start To Flex Up In The Discotheque
Tonight is a glorious night, Why? because tonight is the season premeire of the best show on Television LOST. The only crappy part of my trip is that I will be missing LOST, but I have recruited my main man DB to tape all the episodes I will be missing. Your good people DB.
Speaking of my trip I leave on Sunday morning. I land In Frankfurt Germany. I have already booked a place to stay for a few days in Frankfurt. I am staying at a place called The Stay and Learn Hostel and that's what I intend to do.
This Friday October 6th I will be hosting a Chris Nelson Farewell Eurotrash party. All guests will be asked to dress like Eurotrash so I can get use to being around Eurotrash. These are my favourite pictures from my google image search of Eurotrash
I would also like to encourage all my guests to bring some cd's that they think I might enjoy so I can put them on my ipod. I have room for like 6500 more songs.
