Oh, talk about the weather! I drizzled almost 24 hours a day in most cities I visited! The worst thing in my trip!

I had to leave by november 23 because that was my window of freedom, but I did catch a lot of interesting weather conditions like a lot of snow in the Estonian countryside (on the way to S.Petersburg, that was October 11) and hail in Amsterdam (roughly November 20), though I had seen hail here in Santos and São Paulo too. And there was some icy snow on the Tatra mountains (Kasprowy Wierch) near Zakopane, south Poland, which I climbed by cable car.

Not to mention the very weird feeling that it's always 5pm in northern Europe during dalight this time of year, because the sun never really goes high in the sky, and sets by 4:30. In Saint Petersburg and Stockholm its amazing!

One of the best surprises was the city of Vilnius - absolutely amazing. The worst thing was the expensive bureaucracy to get the Russian visa, some US$100 and you have to get invitations from hotels.... and then register it once you arrive in every city - even Russian citizens have to register their papers if they move to another city!

Next year I wanna go back to work in Europe as a journalist (which is my degree) or maybe to study.
