wait what? well to honor nearly 1 year after epic euroasianess, i (kevin) decided to move to singapore. yes, thats right, i have since, moved to singapore. for 4 months...

okay not really, im actually here working. i found out last monday that i was flying out the upcoming friday to singapore for the next 4 months. opportunity to be passed up? i think not. after further discussion with my colleague, marlonski, we have decided to revamp the blog. as he reports from our headquarter office in new york city, i'll be updating you on my travels through singapore, and hopefully malaysia, thailand, hong kong, and the philippines (again).

in the meantime, let me show you around.

nice

After a relaxing two nights in Marseille, we took a shitty train ride over to Nice. Not expecting much, and after a little girl throwing up on the train and an old man that smelled like big foots gooch, we finally made it. We left the main train station and walked about 15 minutes..our hostel was located 2 minutes from the beach, clubs, and casinos. Heaven.

First night was epic. Got some dank dinner (lamb and steak)and walked down along side the beach. Restaurants, bars, casinos, clubs, and stores seemed to be open almost all night. After being in sketchy Marseille, this was definitely a nice change of pace.

Met some really cool people the first night and proceeded to drink on the beach, head to High Club, and a cuban bar.

monte carlo

Second day in Nice and we decided to take a 30 minute train ride over to Monte Carlo, Monaco. Best trip of my life so far. Getting off the train we walked around and headed straight for the casino.

Upon arrival there were no shortage of Beamers, Benz, or Bentleys..and the occasional Maserati, Ferrari California, and even a McClaren.

We decided to check out the Grande Casino and test our luck. The casino was epic..really fancy with a couple of blackjack, roulette, and baccarat tables. We walked to the back where the high rollers ball out and gamble thousands of dollars. Over-looking the French riviera and out into the Meditteranean sea while gambling was a site I would have never imagined.

First time in Monte Carlo, we decied to DIFTS (shout out to troy) and Kevin bank-rolled me his last 50 euro. Thanks buddy. After playing a few hands of blackjack, I am proud to say I am forever a winner in the Monte Carlo. (fck you Vegas)

We decided to chill out and watch some more sick cars pass by and make our way back for another epic night in Nice.

< most expensive Coca Cola i've ever purchased

back to NICE

The second night was awesome, came back to the hostel (Hotel Meyerbeer) and siesta'd for a minute, got some cheap dinner (MacDo) and bought a few (8) bottles of Rossayyy.

< shoutout to Carmen and Pete

Epic night, shoutout to all the friends we made and if you guys ever want to come to NYC, you have a place to stay.

good times..headed out to Milan next..check back for more pics and updates and enjoy. (hopefully the gallery will be up soon with all our pics) Until then..

10 days, 7 hostels, 5 cities, and 2 asian guys..

marseille, france. what can we really say bout marseille? madrid was crazy and barcelona was definitely a good time. why marseille and not paris you ask? well we're 2 asian guys in their 20s who dont really care for the eiffel tower or the louvre. if we wanted to peep them, then we're seriously content with just googling imaging them. instead, we decided to follow the french riviera path with our first stop: marseille.

before we even being to tell you the adventures we went through, keep this in mind. we TOTALLY forgot to book hostels for the 2 nights we were gonna spend in marseille. so while in barce, we booked 2 different hostels due to unavailability of rooms at the same hostel for 2 nights. we were kinda desperate so we booked, dipped from barce, and made our way to marseille

i (kevin) left the barce hostel early to catch my flight at 9am while marlon slept in for his flight at 3pm. the first hostel in marseille was literally IN THE BOONIES. as mentioned in the last post, it took a 45 minute bus ride to the train station to a 30 min train ride to another 20 minutes bus ride (fml). i finally arrived equipped with just my useless iphone, strictly used for directions. as i sat there waiting for marlon, i was contemplating this leg of the trip and kept asking myself, "why the FUCK would we book a hostel so far out of the city."

after 7 hours of waiting with nothing to do but explore a tiny ass town that consisted of a BP gas station a few little shops, marlon FINALLY arrived. getting to this hostel was a true test of our survival skills. after making it to the hostel, we both agreed, we are qualified to audition for that show "the amazing race" because it was that serious. oh by the way, this "hostel" was really a bed and breakfast in the countryside. 2 asian guys in the country at a bed and breakfast in france. no homo.

hey.. at least we had a pool lol. it was a well needed break but the next day came and we were ready to hit up our hostel in the city center. we still really didnt know what to expect from marseille, but when we got there, we were impressed by the city AND our top floor hostel with a balcony overlooking the city. kinda.

seeing the port and the mediterranean for the first time, mind = blown. the main port, viuex, was surrounded by restaurants, bars, and filled with a ton of boats. definitely seemed like a sick sopt at night, EXCEPT, marseille is super sketch at night. wouldnt wanna be walking around there after 11pm. regardless, it was legit.

dinner? the freshest seafood we've ever had in our lives. literally. peep the picture and video below:

marseille was legit and a relaxing break from partying, more partying, and hopping cities. i guess we should say we needed it? but not really..

next stop off the french riviera? nice, france and monte carlo, monaco. one epic life defining hand of blackjack, steak and lamb dinner, and seriously two of the SICKEST nights ever spent off the mediterranean coast. you can read all about that in our next update.

peace for now

barcelona

barcelona was epic..from tapas, museums, churches,beaches, to 1euro boxed sangria and booze. our hostel was pretty close to las ramblas (the main strip with a bunch of restaurants, clubs, pickpocketers, and hashish slangers)

some spots to definitely check out include Sagrada Familia, a huge catholic church in the heart of Barce, but it wont be done until 2020 by some Japanese dude lol..

Montjuic,the MACBA, and the beaches were all dope and a must see..

all in all barcelona is a really fun city, lots of places to go and see..we will definitely be coming back. ended the trip with some dank breakfast (cafe con leche and croissants) and buying some fake ray bans..holla

shoutout to nicolas, julie, and emillie..our friends from colombia and canadia. hit us up if you need a place to crash in NYC..vale vale

marseille

The next part of our trip starts with a fucking amazing race style adventure..we both took separate flights from barce to marseille and didnt realize the hostel was in the boondocks..

with no electronics, maps, or any idea how to speak french it took us 1 plane, 2 buses, and 3 metros to find this place..

after kevin waited for over 7 hours by himself again LOL..I finally made it to the hostel..worth it.

come back soon for updates on the rest of our southern france journey..and don't forget to check our galleries and leave us some messages..

madrid

madrid was sick. we stayed at a hostel pretty close to sol, apparently its the city center. there are protests going on because of spain´s 20% unemployment rate. ouch.

shoutout to april and felicia for showing us around. hitting up kapital, a 7 floor club, and las ventas bullfights.

mmmm.. steak

after 2 sleepless, epic nights, we planned to take a 6am bus to barcelona. sike, we woke up at 12pm and took the 2pm bus. it was 8 hours = marlon playing plants vs. zombies for 6 hours straight. no, im not kidding.

barcelona

so we arrived in barcelona around 10:30pm, but marlon fked up the hostel reservation and we only booked 1 bed. shit.

don´t worry, it worked out though. no, we didnt sleep next to each other.. shoutout to kaitlin and her roomies for taking him out and letting him crash. kevin was in the hostel.. all alone LOL.

aight. thats good for now. we´re gonna actually be productive and hit up some museums, churches, and all that shit. thanks for reading and check back soon for another update.
