Lisbon, Portugal


Sorry for the late Blog post here, I have been busy, and this was sort of the last thing on my mind during the busy exam weeks.


Anyway, Portugal. Good food, strange weather, and the best hostel in all of Europe. If you ever find yourself stranded in Lisboa without a place to stay -- this is your place. Nice people, cheap local beer, and great home cooked meals every night!


Lisbon: Ghetto but beautiful. The town is decrepit and slowly crumbling. The local citizenry is about as old as the buildings (and most of them in the same shape). Because of the rent price ceilings, land lords are unable to fix up the buildings, so everything is covered in Graffiti.


Especially the graffiti of my favorite street artist, BluBlu. If you haven't already, check out his stuff.

The surroundings itself are quite beautiful, and everything in town feels a bit surreal.


When the language is impossible to understand, a smile and a point are always universal.
