Eurotrip

Yes.. because ive only been there 8 times.. i must be biased and obviously not relying on my own experience :rolleyes2

You've missed my point completely. Not even if you'd been there a thousand times would it give you a right to generalise on such a massive scale about any one nation. Noone even has the right to say that one thing is true of all the people in their own country.

"All the English have great respect for the royal family."

Perhaps not the most apt example, but I can think of at least 10 people I know who don't fit that bill off the top of my head. To say that the French as a whole are arrogant, and to mean it...that to me is far more arrogant than the examples of their arrogance you've used.

Sorry. Going off on a tangent. Zipping it now :3

I'm gathering information on Europe because my husband and I plan to spend some time there in Summer 2009.

So, queries:

1) Have you visited Europe? Where did you stay? What did you do?

2) Has anyone stayed at a hostel? Any recommendations on that?

3) Do people tip in Europe?!

4) Anyone fly from the US west coast to Europe recently? How much was an airline ticket?

5) Someone explain this "rail pass" thing to me?

6) Other information. Tell it to me.

ETA: I'm mostly interested in money-related info and specifics, like where to sleep.

1) No.
