So Chris and I have finally embarked on our famed Grand Tour of Europe's nether regions. We hope to keep this page updated both as a way to keep our legions of admirers informed of our activities but also as a record of our last days should we meet an early demise {I've been having nightmares about disappearing down uncovered manholes in Odessa}. With our Bickpicks mounted, Hos-tels fully reserved and cheap alcohol at the ready we've already begun to conquer Eastern Europe on $0.87 a day. Feel free to be a fly on the wall as we humiliate ourselves and others throughout Hungary, Romania, Moldova and perhaps Ukraine and Serbia.
