The End of Not Only TSP But of My Youth (I am dramatic)

Song:

Back to Paris:
I take the plane from Valencia to Paris. The plane lands. As the people stand up to get their bags, I swear to god, the first thing this guy does is pop his collar.

Really though, its a leather jacket and its not even cold. Only a Parisian would pop any collar. Go meet Seppy outside of France (hate the RER. Costs 9 Euros to get to Agha Rabbie's place. I could Bolt bus ANYWHERE with that much. I miss how cheap Spain is). Agha Rabbie takes us to my last French lunch where we joke about how the only thing I've learned is cruche d'eau (pitcher of water).

LOOK HOW BIG THE STAKE IS.
Also Frenchies eat French Fries with  everything

This is also where Seppy's uncle gave me the best compliment ever... that I ate like French people... 200 years ago. I felt so cultured. Then Seppy and I decided to go to...

DISNEY LAND. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. BE JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best way to spend the last day in Paris. My flight was at 10:30. So remember how I said I bought a one way ticket. Well my good friend's (Chris dos Santos) dad works for Delta so I buddy passed that. My flight went from Paris to Cin and then to NYC. Now this is all standby so nothing is guaranteed.... but the flights seemed pretty open. Seppy and I head to the airport

This is how we got enough money to go back.

AND THEN THE CRAZIEST THING HAPPEND.
On the train we saw Arya's doppelganger

This made us miss Arya TONS. So sad that he left before I got back from Spain. On the train Seppy said that he loved me (obvs I didn't say it back cause if I did he would stop loving me) and kept saying that he missed me but really its only 5 months. Missing people is for people who are sad. I don't miss, I just am.

We said our good byes and I knew this was the last time I would see him in 5 months. I arrive at the airport. Get my standby ticket. The counter person asks me if I want to pay 40 euros to upgrade to first class. I say sure why not. Pay the extra money (this comes in to play a little bit later and how I hate delta. Never try to upgrade with a buddy pass). I get my boarding pass and go through customs. Feeling all boujie being in the first class line.

Coming to a airport near you. Automated boarder control. So cool.

I get through security and sit there to see if i get on the plane. The flight seemed super opened and tons of first class seats.... wait and get a first class seat. I was sooooo happy. First class on a 10 hour flight is the bossest thing you can think of. I board the flight. Take my seat in first class. Reflect on all the things that happened in Europe. Relax and take in the last few sights of Paris from the air

Song(thank you Dan not Arya):

Wait... thats not what happend:
SO I really didn't get on first class. I didn't even get through security. What happend was that I only got a receipt for my ticket. I had no idea. I was able to convince the people on the line for customs that it was a real ticket (I am so charming) but when it wouldn't scan in the security side... I was screwed. Especially since I had wasted so much time. So I had to go all the way back to the ticket counter to check in, but by that time it was too late.... I had missed my flight.
So I go back to Seppy. We decide to take hipster pictures. I think the most hipster picture of Seppy I have ever taken is

Then we go to meet up with Lillian and her friend Corinna.

Corinna:
I don't have a picture of her but if you had to imagine what she looked like this is how it would be

Corinna lives in Berlin, which is apparently the center of culture now (no). Now what makes Corinna such a hipster.

• Her clothing
• She had a scarf... which she stole from a lost and found. Smelled like smoke.
• She had a belt on that was super skinny and served no practical purpose... didn't even look good
• She was wearing her aunt's sweater that was 40 years old.... her aunt's dead now
• apparently its cool to go into your parents old clothing and find something to wear. Hipsters are so weird... yet cool
• She was from Berlin
• she told me about the different areas of Berlin with hipsters
• Was going to start work at Citi as a banker
• Only because it was ironic

Other than being really really weird she had some good ideas especially regarding immigration.

• Why do you put the people who try to come here in jail
• They're motivated to come into a country and work... make them work. Don't make them go to jail and take up more state funds
• In order to fix healthcare and the old people, make these people work for a euro/ hour.
• Destroy east germany
• Its a waste. There is nothing there.

We talk about all these things, while Sepanta and Lilian talk about bunnies and colored elephants(am I incapable of having a non serious discussion?)

We have Pho

Best pho I've ever had.

The trip back:
So get to airport. The plane is empty. I am like yes... Ill get first class, no. Because of weight bs they put me in coach. I was so pissed even though all of first class was empty. 18 hours later I come back to Atlanta and my European trip ends and real life begins

Song (from the best 4th chapter of any movie saga):

Post Europe Analysis (in hyper bullet points because I think thats the best way to go about the end):

• Contrast between US and Europe
• Europeans are more interesting
• Speak more languages
• Been to more places
• A little bit more adventurous
• More willing to talk to you and learn about what you're about
• Americans seem plain
• I've only been to Cincinnati and Atlanta
• I feel more open in US maybe cause I speak the language and have my phone back
• My phone
• I missed having it (if anyone knows me I love my phone)
• I learned I can live without it and not freak out
• What Ive learned
• How to be more social
• To start a conversation with someone about nothing
• Still don't like it
• French are cold
• Pleasure in pain and thought
• Spanish are passionate
• Just always have emotion about anything
• Guys just want the love
• Germans are mechanical
• Use the word efficient a lot
• Def don't care as much as French or Spanish about love
• Met great people
• Saw a lot of great architecture
• Over all a good experience
• B+, caues didnt get to see everyone i wanted to and see all the places i wanted to see
• I still don't get travel
• People are all the same. Lifes a bore. Blah blah blah :-)
• Place I still want to go
• Rome
• Very historic
• Want to see the buildings
• London
• They speak English
• Such a huge plus
• Berlin
• Land of hipsters
• Marrakesh
• Cheap
• Arabs
• Hind <3
• Naples
• Best pizza 
• Was thee when i was young for green card
• Prague? 
• Everyone says its pretty
• Who wants to come with me?

Blog War Update:
I won. Sorta. I wanted to have more followers than Roshan and Sepanta but I have 34 followers Roshan has 30 and Seppy has 25. I was off but I still have more followers than both of them... and Roshan still hasn't "followed" me. The second thing was that I said I would have more views than Seppy. Well I did this. Currently I have 3742 views in a month(should be up to 4k by the end of all this) while seppy probs has 3300 in about 5 months. Domination. I didn't know this until I got a blogger but it shows you stats of your viewers. Time to share.

But honestly I get excited every time Roshan and Seppy update so if this competition made them post more then I am happy. I think they're blogs are better than mine. Statistics don't mean everything int he world (<- did i just say that?)

Statistics mean EVERYTHING:
Overview:

This is a time line of views during the past month. The peaks are where I posted + whored out my blog on facebook and gmail.
