It’s all good…. Except the music at Starbucks
My money is at 0 again after paying for my hostel through Friday. However that is because I was nailed with 2 different over limit fees all at once… So that was another $70 down the drain. Bloody vampires/bankers. After Friday, I don’t have a place to stay yet but I believe I know somebody who would put me up for a couple days now. Jirka (a person I met here) is currently being awesome and holding my big suitcase that I brought and intended to leave with Martin/Jo when I would go travel. So now I just have laptop and a big backpack, which is way easier to get around with if I start traveling.
What’s with the music selection at Starbucks… It’s been Mexican music all month. Well there has also been some Ray Charles, Leonard Cohen and a couple other things that i do like, but even those are getting old now. I guess here they just have the “June CD’s” to play.
Come July I do think I will start traveling again. The number of people I will know in Prague will decrease, and the price of the hostels will go way up for the tourist season. At this point I am thinking I might go to Poland. Still can’t rationalize going to Sweden or Switzerland like I had wanted to since they are rather expensive.
Oh, yeah I will travel because I turned down the English lessons. Seems I was mislead in how it works. They aren’t really private students. They are from a school, that just doesn’t care if you have proper work permit. However they only pay once a month, and the first month has a one month delay before you get a paycheck. Then it’s only 1.5 hours a week worth of work. Now when I thought they were private students that was fantastic. Students would meet up with me and I would converse with them in English and then they would give me a few dollars for the assistance. Well, that’s now how it is.
I had a big ass multiple paragraph writing here, but it seem that everything I was writing violates Google’s terms of service for adsense (disclosing how many clicks I was getting, how much I was earning, and suggesting forcing people to click ads… all violates TOS and can get me banned).
I am not motivated by money, but it sucks to not have any. So right now I am going to find a way to get by on nothing, and see if I can’t just get enough to travel to other countries while I am here.
Still, I am starting to see that even without forcing clicks, there is a lot of potential income for me in making cool websites. I never even had a banner on the site until I came here and ran out of money. It just mucks up the design. But whatever, people are used to them. Just wait until I finish the shiny new anime/tv sections and get the profile that will merge the social networks together up and running.
Well even if I don’t get my money from the website, pretty soon it will be July and I will get my monthly Mini Cooper payment, and I should be able to stretch it out pretty well if I am here or in Poland, and if I get some new features and do start to make money from website I will then go all over Europe and get all sorts of good stories and experiences to share. Woot.. So it’s all good and I’m not giving up and coming back.
