    Shooting range session in Prague (Czech Republic)

    I didn’t have to totally finish growing up: playing with guns amuses me The first time I had the opportunity to use a firearm was in Vietnam, during our visit to the Cu Chi tunnels. There it was downright Disney Land: you buy M16 or AK47 bullets in the souvenir store between the postcard stand and the “I love Vietnam” T-shirts No security briefing, we give our bullets to an instructor who loads the weapon, gives it to us and indicates a distant target to aim at It lasts 5 minutes, it’s quite exhilarating when it’s the first time a live-fire shot but it’s also frustrating, no way to know…

    Find Plane Planes with Ita Software by Google

    Are you familiar with Ita Software by Google? It is a tool that allows undecided people like us to enter several departure and destination cities; and find the cheapest flight for a given period of time.Example: I’m looking to go to America from Europe, I put all “nearby” CDG and “nearby” New York airports. For “nearby” you can select the airports yourself or add all those that are within 25/50/75/100… miles. Result: the cheapest flight is Oslo – New York, €300 on August 3, 2017.

    Prague (Czech Republic): First impressions

    After a month of happiness in Poland, we are back on the road to the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic, two cities attract tourists: Prague and Český Krumlov. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary Krakow – Prague by bus We came to the main bus station 1 hour before departure. There is a long queue to buy the tickets.

    Warsaw (Poland): Travel diary

    Being based in Krakow, what could be easier to spend a weekend in Warsaw, only 3 hours by train from there. JB also takes the opportunity to attend the Coldplay concert in Warsaw, which cost him an arm and two legs, but it’s important to make his dreams come true This is the 2nd time I go to Warsaw.

To get to France,…
