Bucket List: Europe

Edit: After making this list I really wish that I lived in Europe. Europeans have NO IDEA how lucky they really are.
I have been meaning to do this for ages:
  • Louvre on a Friday night: from 18h00-22h00 free for students
  • Visit fairytale castles Neuschwanstein and Linderhof, built in French Rococo and neo-Romanesque style by eccentric King Ludwig II and hidden deep in the Bavarian mountains.

  • Monter la Tour Eiffel: deja fait avec ma belle cousine, Rosemea.
  • Ride along the Highway of the Sun, crossing the Castelli Romani, dotted with enchanting medieval villages, then, continue across Naples’ historic center, before visiting the ancient city of Pompeii.

  • L'arc de Triomphe: avec Maria et Stefano
  • Go to Duplex Nightclub: free before 00h30 for girls, 16e.
  • Mixte Nightclub
  • Notre Dame Tour: Suprisingly free, yet such a long line to get in. Have to go in the morning one day.
  • See the Tour Eiffel light up at night: at 22h00 and 23h00- done this at least five times
  • Faire une nuit blanche: x 3 already :P
  • Berlin: My friend Viktoria lives there, but she won't be there when I go. Perhaps, she can recommend some places to me.
  • Discover the wonder and mystery of Windsor Castle, home of the Royal Family for 900 years, then step back in time to Stonehenge and the elegant Georgian architecture, Roman spa and Pump Rooms of Bath.

  • Learn more Italian: at a rate of knots. Oral Italian anyway (no innuendo intended)
  • Learn more German: Daniel or Viktoria.
  • Munich
  • Tate Museum, England
  • La Belgique
  • Holland: ride a bicycle, Anne Frank Musee, take some beautiful photos, look at the prostitutes in the red light district, meet some beau gosses hollandais la-bas. I am going to assume that all Holland-ish (je rigole) people are stunning, just like that Dutch girl I went to school with. Curse them!
  • Ski-ing: Maybe I won't have enough money for this, maybe I will...
  • London
  • Do some more drawings of Paris, fool: Already bought a nice sketch-book and pens for this purpose.
  • Rome: I have lots of Italian friends here and I think that most of them come from Roma.
  • Decorate my appt
  • Get a table
  • Send some postcards.
  • Switzerland?
  • Edith Piaf's former appt.
  • Les marches de puces
  • Buy something at the Belleville markets
  • Centre Pompidou: Free, generally open 11h-18h (10h on w/e, 20h Thursday-Saturday).
  • Get portrait done in Montmatre: did this as a child, would be interesting to have a comparison.
  • Climb to the top of the Sacre-Coeur
  • Visit Sacre-Coeur
  • Chateau de Versailles: Should have gone when the weather was nicer. Damn.
  • Les Invalides: Gratuit pour les residents de l'Europe moins de 26ans De 10h à 17h, (17h30 le dimanche)
  • Musée de l'Armée 
    Hôtel national des Invalides
    129 rue de Grenelle, 75007 PARIS
