Just Smile and Nod…

It’s all good…. Except the music at Starbucks

June24

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.
