https://youllhavetowalk.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/week-18-england
A busker's journey. Week 18 : : England. And here’s the final tally:. Six countries and 56 cities in four months of traveling. Not bad, eh? But now we have to head back to England. And we’re not exactly sure. We’ll do for three months of Shengen-zone exile. Last time England didn’t treat us so well. Is it time to look for some side-hustles so we can sustain ourselves? But we made up our minds. We dump Crudbot the (? In London, we get a heroes welcome from our friends. And on the 18th week, The Cack rests.

England vs America | youllhavetowalk
https://youllhavetowalk.wordpress.com/2014/06/02/england-vs-america
A busker's journey. People are always asking me, “What’s the difference between herein England and America? So I realized I needed to form some stereotypes in order to better represent myself at the bar. And defend England. In a way. Next time an Englishman asks his English question: “Why would you come here from America? I’d rather be in California! In England, alcoholism doesn’t really exist. The Northern greeting: Hiya, are you okay? Or sometimes just, you OK? Serves as a rhetorical question to engage...

A busker's journey. Reflections on Busking Western Europe (part 3). Let’s do a little more talking about this summer, shall we? As you read in the first post, we learned a lot about what it means to travel poor in a foreign country including get used to eating bread and cheese and learn how to collect bottles. Right, that’s covered. We also learned a lot about what it means to busk Europe. And that is…. 8230;busking Europe is very similar to busking the United States. Challenge 1: Where to play. San Seba...

Hitchhiking in England | youllhavetowalk
https://youllhavetowalk.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/hitchhiking-in-england
A busker's journey. Hitchhiking in England is. A) a jolly good time. B) illegal, but the cops are too polite to fine you. C) impossible with backpacks in those tiny cars. D) get off the road you bloody American Wanker! We had our first encounter with British “traffic police” the other day. It was a jolly good time! They were so sweet. Steve, the older gentleman, even took photos with us. In fact, the cops were so nice, they were apologetic. Oh, how nice! And are you liking England so far? Yes, I suspect ...

One Year | youllhavetowalk
https://youllhavetowalk.wordpress.com/2014/04/21/one-year
A busker's journey. It’s been a year since we left the states. Last year, around this time, we were recovering from the flu while balancing on our European land-legs. We were equally confused about how to navigate English street signs as we were about how to properly use the fifteen-hundred different types of coins. The British still had a noticeable accent. But you can sort of ignore it if you cover yourself, close your eyes and daydream about your next academy award. We’ve come a long way…. The element...

A busker's journey. Reflections on Busking Western Europe Part I. Reflections on Busking Western Europe (Part 1 of 3). The summer’s newest addition: Crapette. I’ve been meaning to write a reflection of this summer’s busking adventure. Meaning to, but I’ve had a hard time getting it done. Do I talk about all the highlights? Is the daily grind important enough to reiterate? If I didn’t like a certain spot, can I confess this? How do I include the moments of pain without eliciting pity or disdain? Ambitious...
