New Year, No Money....Just one Life

9TH JANUARY 2007

"Happiness in intelligent people
is the rarest thing I know." --Ernest Hemingway


Ha ha! The Drama Queen has finally found a reason to justify being morose. It has been a while since she last decided to grace the blogosphere. Well, Her Royal Highness was away on her escapades as usual until money was in scarce supply.
No brownies for guessing that she is back in miserable Wales because she ran out of money and because school starts mid-January again! However, there is reason for celebration :)..This is a new year. Year 2007. Wonder what is in store. Hmmm...
Before we speculate on what lies ahead, I am going to look back at another year gone by. (WHICH MEANS I AM GETTING OLDER!!!! MORE WRINKLES...[nonsense I could never have one]) I shall refrain from mentioning the disastrous and stormy love affair that cost me everything from money to time to my degree!!
The last few months of 2006 were spent by me traveling around Europe. There was Thanksgiving in Hamburg and Sinterklaas in Amsterdam, Christmas and New Year in London and New Year's day in Colechester (btw..travelbugs/globetrekkers...Colechester in Essex, in the UK is one of the prettiest towns I have seen in this country so far. It is small enough to walk around the whole town and big enough to have a wide variety of interesting pubs and restaurants. The architecture reminds one of old roman constructions.
Hamburg is a pretty city, cheap beer...like I needed to tell you that about the Germans! There is an erie Cathedral in the city that was bombed in WWII. However, watching it at night has a different charm. There is an underground pub/brewery/eatery not too far from the cathedral which is a must see.
Amsterdam!! well its my second home, on concrete travel tips, feel free to write to me.
London is a city that I began liking or tolerating to be precise, only at the end of the last year. The only rule for traveling in London is: Have the Tube Map, The A-Z London map and an Oyster Card).
These little holidays were synchronised stunts to aid memory loss of the past year. In a series of unforseen circumstances, the only thing I lost, was money. Lots and lots of money, that I cannot even claim to have been my own or earned by me.

So! Here’s raising my glass to another year of highs and lows..
Another intelligent soul heads into the mouth of hell….(evil grin)
