Today I got to open a couple of late presents for my birthday, both of which relate to me going to Europe next year. The first one is the Let's Go Europe book my parents got me. Thanks for suggesting it Mithalwen....it looks very helpful. It reminds me a bit of the useful AAA books my mom gets for our vacation, except it's bigger and of Europe ( Read more... )

Some people are simply stupid... you provide clear evidence that they are wrong (e.g. the occurence of homosexuality in nature) and they pretend it's not true. Satan-infested penguins? Yeah, right.

Weeeeelll, you know, I'd differentiate between Socialism and Communism; there are those who see the former as a second-best compromise on the way to the latter, but I actually see it is a point of balance between unworkable extremes ( ... )

But Europe really is better than the US. Now, I don't completely hate this country, but it has so many problems. I constantly dream of one day moving to some country in Europe when I finish college, but with the career path I've chosen, I just know I'm probably going to have to spend several years in smoggy L.A. first. Ewww..

It absolutely is. I just can't let Mac think I'm only after a way into Europe...;)

I know it hasn't got the pretty pictures but the information is soooooo good ... they are very accurate on safety and prices and as you see there is all the stuff you hope you won't need but if you do..

Yeah, I've been reading through it and it seems very helpful. It's nice to have this so I won't be traveling through all these foreign countries completely clueless on what to do. Thanks again for the advice. :)
