live passionately (read all 9 entries…)
I seem to be living 7 months ago

in a stale sort of rut right now. I’m desperately trying to get out of it. I’ve been in this new city about 3 months (almost 4) and I haven’t seen much of it. I feel so stupid about that because I’m usually the person who can’t wait to get out of the hotel/hostel room and explore! So I am making strides to really start exploring, even if I’m not fully interested at heart – I will be when I just start to delve into more activities.

I recently went to a tourist info station and grabbed all the theatre fliers as well as the to-do pamphlets. I’m going to make lists of upcoming events and post ‘em on the wall to constantly remind myself of fun things to do and that I need to get out and do ‘em. I’m focusing so hard on school right now. That’s a good thing but I need to find time for me too and my environment!

Make a list of things/places that look interesting. Put it in a prominent location in your room and look at it every day. Go to or do one of those things each week or two…cross it off as they are done. The whole visual might help give you a sense of accomplishment. Plus, seeing it all the time well remind you to do them. I dunno…try! =D

And also make a list of what you’d like to do when I visit. hehehe

I beat you to it :p

I already posted up brochures and pamphlets when I wrote this entry LOL.

How many things CAN we do anyway? This city is small, yes, but it’s not particularly concentrated.

I don’t think I should be the one making a list of stuff to do when you visit. You’re the visitor, ie limited time, ie top priority.

Yes, but my main reason for coming is not sightseeing but spending time with people. =) Therefore, any “activity” would be fine with me.

I heard lots of good things about museums from coworkers and I always feel like I’m missing out by not seeing any every time I visit. Are there any cool ones that you haven’t gone to yet and still want to go? We can check one out.

And I respect your opinion that’s why I’m asking you for your suggestions for what to do. =)

You also have to take me up Twin Peaks and eat ice cream. =D But…not at the same time.

You're still the

touristy-visitor! Well, it’s like, you haven’t come here enough to really know know the city, but who really ever does? Do you even like museums in general? Just because people say something is good…..this is amply demonstrated by my avoidance of LOTR and Star Wars.

I have no opinion. If you want me to be honest, I repeat what I said before – I don’t see what people see about this place – about how it’s so great and all. It’s cool. But somehow, that magic of it hasn’t penetrated me. Then again, they don’t get harassed all the time.
