Tallin, Estonia

Well i just arrived in Tallin, Estonia and it looks O.K.  As soon as i got off the train it looked very nice. So i decided to look around a bit. The city of Tallin was really nice. It was getting late so i went to my hostel and went to sleep for an exciting day. The next day i went to the Patatei prison museum. When i was there it gave me a eerie feeling knowing that alot of people were kept here and killed.  It was a very bad place to be. It was known for its poor conditions.  When i left the prison i went to go back to my hostel when i saw a police officer and decided to ask him a few questions.
Me: Hello my name is Nicholas whats yours?
Officer: My name is offiver Andrus nice to meet you.
Me: What is it like here in Estonia
Officer: Well this part of town isnt so great. The crime rate is pretty high, and there is alot of homeless people.
Me: What is the most common crime in this part of the city?
Officer: Well pickpocketing happens alot here. So take this advise and make sure your wallet is securely inside your wallet.
Me: Ok thanks
Random Hobo:  H-h-hey s-sir do you have a-any spare change?
Me: I guess you can have my change since i am leaving to go back to United States tomorrow.
Random Hobo: T-t-thank you so much sir.

Berlin, Germany

Just arrived in Germany. It is late so i am going to go to my hostel and sleep. Woke up really early this morning, because i was so excited to see the Berlin wall ( or whats left of it). It was pretty cool but nothing can beat the feeling of thinking 30 years ago that in the very spot i am standing many people were trying to get over the wall to the western side for freedom. After a long day of exploring the city and seeing the Berlin wall i went to my hostel for some rest. The next day i went to the Berlin Stadium. The Olympic games were held here in 1936, and most recently in 2006 Italy won the world cup there. While i was roaming the city i saw a guy in fancy clothes so i decided to ask him a few quest question
Me: Hey my name is Nicholas what is your name?
Rich guy: My name is Karl Albrecht, nice to meet you.
Me: What do you do for living?
Rich guy: well i am the owner of over 8000 supermarkets called Aldi
Me: Thats cool what do you do for fun?
Rich guy: Well i like to play golf alot with my spare time.
Me: Cool well i have to go i need some rest for the trip to Estonia tomorrow bye
Rich guy: bye.






Dublin, Ireland

Well i just arrived in Dublin, Ireland and it looks very nice.  The first thing i did was just explore the beautiful city. All the people there were very nice. I asked someone were a good place to eat was and they insisted me to go to Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud. This was one of the best restaurants Ive been to. After that i went to my hostel and went to bed for a big day tomorrow.  I woke up bright in early to the beautiful sunrise. Ate some cereal then went to the Guinness brewery, It cost  £3.  The tour was great but the best part was the end were everyone got a pint of there famous beer (besides me :( you had to be 18). The next day i decided to explore the city some more, then right when i was about to head back to my hostel i stumbled upon the Dublin Castle.  It happened to be closed so i decided to come back tomorrow.  I woke up early in the morning to go to the Dublin castle. It looked pretty cool from the outside so i decided to buy a ticket for a tour. When the tour started and i got inside i was amazed.  It dates back to the year 1228!  But the inside looks sooooooo fancy i almost didn't believe my eyes! I found out that it was originally built for the defense of the city.  On my way out the president of Ireland was  giving a speech.  After the speech i got to meet her and i asked her a few questions.
Me: Hello, my name is Nicholas what is yours?
President: My name is Mary McAleese.
Me: How long how you been the president of Ireland?
President: I have been in office since 1997.
Me: Wow you are really old! Hahahaha.
President: How dare you insult me! Guards!
Guards: Yes ma'am what is wrong
President: This kid insulted me! I demand him sent to jail!
Me: What im only 14!!! 
President: Well im the president and i can do whatever i want!


Well the rest of my trip in Ireland was ruined. Good thing i was only in jail for one day (thanks to my lawyer)

Rome, Italy

Well i just got off the plane from Charlotte, and Rome looks awesome already!  As soon as i got off the plane the first thing i did was went to my hostel to drop off my luggage. After that i had to go get some great Italian food.  So i went to this place called  Ristorante Aroma at Palazzo Manfredi.  This was the best restaurant i have ever been to and it turns out that is was across the street from  my next stop the Colosseum. The Colosseum was the coolest thing i have ever seen. Once i got inside i was amazed how old and beautiful it was. I also got worried though because it was so old every little noise scared me because i thought it would collapse.  After the tour i was tired so i decided to go to my hostel and call it a night.  After some needed rest i decided to just explore the amazing city of Rome. The next day i took a bus to Pisa, Italy to see the leaning tower of Pisa.  While i was there i met an artist named Rudolf Stingel, and i decided to ask him a couple of questions:
Q: Hey my name is Nicholas, what it yours
A: My name is Rudolf Stingel
Q: Cool, how long have you been painting for your picture looks great!
A: Almost all of my life, my parents told me i was gonna be famous one day, and they were right
Q: What?!??! I knew your name sounded familiar,  can i have you autograph?
A: Sure, here you go!
Q: Thank you. well i have to get going now i have to get up in the morning to go to Ireland bye.
A: Bye.
