Well, Italy and Germany. I took two weeks over there for my honeymoon, and let me tell all the Americans on here that have never been. Go. It was almost like taking a college course, but you get something out of it, so much to learn. I figured most people do honeymoons in the tropics, and I have a timeshare in St Maarten in Feb, that this would be the perfect opportunity to go over the Thanksgiving break, and week after. We landed in Rome and stayed for three nights, and took a private walking tour of the city, it was great. then left there and went to Florence for three nights, and while not as great as Rome, it was still a beautiful clean city. But bring your wallet, the place is expensive. We then went to Venice for two nights, which was not enough. Got tickets to the museums, walked through the Doge's palace, etc. Place was awesome. Smelled a bit at times, but great never the less. then we stayed one night in Verona, which I could have done without, but hey, it was a cool place too. We left Verona on a train to Munich, stayed there for two nights. It was awesome, the Bavarian people were great. Went to a bunch of Christmas markets, and drank Gluwine. I tell you what, the Germans take christmas seriously, not the commercialized bullshit we celebrate here. Left there by plane and spent the last two nights in Berlin. Did a walking tour there as well, saw all of the sites, it was great. Went to two christmas markets there as well, got interviewed by some German news station, not sure why, maybe to make fun of Americans.Just wanted to let everyone know it was the trip of a lifetime, I have a totally different outlook on the world now. You realize how little the rest of the world cares about us, and that they have there own set of problems, and a different view on ours. Met some very cool peolpe, and made some great memories, I highly recommend it. On a side note, my wife and I were commenting on how well everyone was put together, no fat slobs, or sloppy dressers. I guess it is from all of the walking, Americans are lazy. And finally, how do you guys in Germany not have killer gas and shit your brains out from the food? It was great, but I was farting nonstop, couldn't imagine hooking up with a chick and here having bubble guts all of the time from the food. Any comments and discussion on this topic woulld be welcome.
I've been several times since and the indigenous people are being pushed out big time. It's changed a lot in the past six years or so. Still a good time and I'd recommend going.
I don't say, "Excuse me, my car is broken." I point to the vehicle and say, "Auto kaput."
Wonder how this holds up today...
I always can spot an american tourist by how sloppy they dress. Oversized polo, cargo shorts, ugly sport shoes, optional cap.
The major cities in Europe are still great to see. A lot of history, culture and events to enjoy. If you wish to see a more traditional Europe less affected by globalization, you'd be better off visiting Eastern Europe though.
self indulgent twaddle
I was starting to think the new media was sensationalizing until I read the OP was in 2011. Europe was really taken down in 6 short years.
you revived a 5 year old thread just to confirm your own smugness about the world - you will do well here
Exactly. I've been back several times, usually twice a year, since then and the big cities are nightmarishly worse than before.
Fuck, man. Did I miss the best Europe had to offer, then?Aware me on where to go/see/do in Europe in 2017. Your description from 2011 made it sound amazing.
The best is yet to come.
LMAO!!!!!!brb germany, 40% of kids under age of 5 are migrant born.smfh
