if you wish to experience France without the French i'd suggest that you head to Lyon, Paris or Marseilles


This... Paris was the most disappointing city I've ever been to.

Sometimes it felt like I was in an American ghetto.

Walking down the streets, the stench of raw sewage just involuntarily drifts up your nose. The epitome of romance.

A good rule of thumb in France is the bigger the city the shittier the people.

I've had good experiences with Montpellier though. France is lovely in the countryside.

@Nihlathak: Impressive, what's your bw/height?

@OP: The correlation makes a bit of sense, but liberalism and physical strength are obviously not mutually exclusive.

I can bench press 1.7 x me. I don't really care much for ratios like that though; being able to Bench 400 at 200 lbs is a lot more impressive than benching 240 at 120 lbs to me.


Edit: Eh, actually prolly closer to 1.8, although not quite.


That'd be a neat trick.

Everything is so expensive there as well. Only went once, while stationed oversea, and wasn't too thrilled.

Prague and Amsterdam were both worth repeat visits.

Expensive and ugly.

Prague is cool as hell and I think one week in Amsterdam was enough :lol:

Well the cafes in Amsterdam were a welcome respite from Army life :lol:

And I really liked Eastern Europe. Budapest was a treat, but was only there briefly...and from a taxi cab vantage point Skopje has no discernible traffic laws, including circumventing traffic by driving up on the sidewalk.

Things started to get weird though upon going east further. Like really foreign to me. Western Europe seemed barely different than the us in cultural mores and folkways, but once we got into the Ukraine-region things started to seem really bizarre and communication got considerably harder (since us Americans only speak one or maybe two languages).

I really wanted to see Sofia Bulgaria because of its age and history...but it was the late 1990's and we were told that it wasn't the best idea for American soldiers to vacation there.

I haven't traveled in a long time.

Amsterdam isn't the most fun city in NL anyway. Utrecht is #1 imo, followed by Maastricht/Nijmegen/Leiden and then Amsterdam along with Den Haag/Rotterdam.

Oh and I'm visiting Prague this summer, any tips?
