i can't believe the last time i updated this thing was during my trip to europe this summer.  to finish off...after bordeaux i went to paris and enjoyed all paris had to offer.  taking a friend's advice, i took a day-trip to annecy, france where i strolled the cobblestone streets and enjoyed the amazing crystal lake.  after spending several days in paris...i returned to london for one last day.  i so was tired i remember doing nothing that night just chilling and packing.  that was end of august.  now it's almost end of october.  in the time between, i've basically went back to school.  school is pretty good right now.  just seeing patients everyday now and no need to worry about homework.  so my nights are really free. maybe a bit too free.  i get bored pretty easily some days.  so basically nothing really to write on here.  oh, i've applied to residencies for next year.  here's where i've applied to - NYC, U Mich, Rochester, U Buffalo, and Mt Sinai, Toronto.  They are all pretty close by to Toronto which was a main reason i choose those places in case you are wondering - why Buffalo?

anyways, will update more if something exciting happens.

nice to bordeaux

after barcelona...i made my way to nice.  nice is great. the weather there was the best...

going through the old town with all the small cafes and cornershops was really amazing.  spent the day at the beach and did some cliff jumping with some local kids.  scary stuff!!!

now in bordeaux...only spending a day here...gonna do a winetour this afternoon.  rite now its raining....so i hope it clears up by then

tonite im off to paris!!!  wont arrive in paris till almost midnight....really hope my reservation at the hostels is secure....last thing i want to do is show up with no place to sleep!

hot and humid

finally made it to barcelona yesterday!  couldn´t wait to leave madrid! i think 3 days there is good enough...but the last day was well worth it cause i was able to meet up with some dents girls!  it was great seeing them...we did some shopping and sipped sangria and munched on tapas!  i still have to try paellas...prolly tonite.  

the train ride here was really long ...but i sat beside the great person who turned out to be one of the street performers you see on las ramblas...she does it only parttime...that was cool

once i arrived in barcelona i could feel the humidity and heat.  way hotter than madrid.  my hostels is pretty good...a lot of cool people there...but the reception guys are crazy!! they made a girl cry....they´re mad!  they´re old and scary. 

today i´m planning on hitting the picasso museum and doing a bike tour to see most of the sights. 

gotta go...time running out

in madrid!

well..after 3 weeks in london, i´m finally in madrid!  the last several days in london i hung out with some mac friends who came to london.   it was good to have familiar faces around to talk to and hang out with.  however, on wednesday i had my flight to madrid.  had to go to heathrow the night before to catch my early morning flight.  sleeping at heathrow wasnt the best experience. actually it was quite packed with travellers sleeping all over the place.  i found myself a nice corner and slept on my pack for a couple of hours.  after arriving in madrid...i discovered that they misplaced my pack and that i won´t be receiving it until tomorrow! that means same clothes til the next day!   anyways...today just walked around visited prado museum and just walked.  ate mcdonalds. how sad.

breighton by the beach

today i took a day trip out to breighton.  i was asking the dental students where a good place to go for a day trip would be and they suggested breighton. it's was only 1hr by train straight south to the coast.

set my alarm for 9am but was woken at 730 but the heat of the sun that shines though the window at that time. ate leftover fried chicken breakfast - cause we ran out of milk and to make it worse i ate it cold cause they still haven't gotten a microwave :P  while eating was watching "the eye" a japanese ghost flick.  well, didn't finish watching the movie. 

before heading out to breighton i went to do some research on where i was going after london.  after some debate i decided i'm going to fly to madrid instead of rome as originally planned cause some classmates of mine are gonna be there :)  gotta look for hostels now....everything seems to be going fast!

well - about breighton. it was a nice town. reminded me of staten island, ny. cause of the docks, beaches and carnival stuff they have on a pier. wandered the small shops most of the time. the beach was full of pebbles, i guess that's why they call it pebble beach. bought fish and chips for the first time here and ate it while watching the surf.
