i nearly fell off the top of that steeple thing when i was 12, fun fact.

 

copenhagen is awesome i want to go back there, it was cool to see you went to a few places i went to but can only vaguely remember.

 

amsterdam looks so fun

 

haha i mentioned in LUGR's photothread that it was eerie seeing flicks of his when ive taken the same shots in the exact same spot.

 

CPH was one of my favourite cities that ive been to, planned on 2 days ended up doing a week and a half.

 

i assume you were there before you were able to drink? the drinking culture there is fucking awesome, they start partying every night from wednesday onwards, just a shame about the price.

 

a-dam is awesome but only 10-15 percent of people there are locals, you get no sense of culture unless your taken in by a local as we were impossibly lucky to have happen. its just aussies, yanks and canucks stumbling around with red eyes. when you see glimmers of the local life though, like groups riding on bikes at night singing or the party boats cruising down the lit up canals blaring hip-hop, you fall in love. i just with it wasnt such a tourist place. i;d honestly be happier if weed were banned so i could go back and enjoy it with less tourists.

so im here in london for another few weeks waiting on a visa and some other shit. went to the borough markets this morning, awesome place filled with gourmet produce from small producers spent around 50 pound on some of the best food ive ever seen.

monstrous pan of fried chorizo and veggies in sauce, ate it last time i was here so went for something else instead.

got one of these fried up, tasty as shit.

DSCF0509.jpg

i dont live anywhere near borough market, so cant help on that front. each area will have their own - my area gets bare pikey clothes stalls and nothing else!

 

markets are markets....standardly, it depends on whether you know the people you are buying from to get those discounts.

 

for example, my chef buys fish from a market up in town (i forget which one). but as he knows the dude who runs the market, he gets the discounts. when i go up, i get bumped....

 

such is life though...

more london flicks are needed though!

I'd wreck my bank balance walking through that joint.

 

i know what you mean, ive been there twice and spent about 100pound so far. but as im sure you know, you just cant find half of that shit in australia, and if you did, it would be far more expensive. the markets in general that are dotted around central london are pretty amazing for the most part, im definitely going to track a few more down

 

Schnitzel; the more i think about it, i realise that Thessaloniki is probably the greatest place ive ever been. beer and food is cheap, weed is super easy to get hold of, people are incredibly nice and the girls are gorgeous. the party scene is decent and the student run uni is fucking wild. too many other awesome things happened there to mention, and the flicks dont really do it justice.

 

in short. go there.
