We were in transit all damn day today: Toronto Amsterdam Amsterdam Ghent That's... what, twelve straight hours of travel? After one plane ride, three train rides, and one crowded tram, we arrived at our hostel to see this taped to the front door: "CALL ME WHEN YOU ARRIVE AND I WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU" This is an ordeal.

I'm writing in this journal after my trip... so I won't have too many names of restaurants and things like that in here. I'll make each entry brief and to the point. I hope to just have this as a little reading for somebody who hopes to make a trip to Europe. Here are some things I did, which may come useful to you. * I purchased a large backpack from Eastern Outfitters, which did the trick. I packed enough clothing for about 7 days, with the intent of doing laundry at some point. I had to rewear a few shirts, but it worked for me. * My friend made fun of me for it, but I purchsed an under-the...
