Anyone been to Europe??
Fri, 06/10/2005 - 15:49
Where’s the best place in Europe to meet other travelling Americans, such as myself? Where are the best American restaurants to go to while in Europe? Should I be proud and make it obvious that I’m a proud American, or would I put myself in danger? What cities should I visit? What will the weather be like?
Any help would be appreciated!
PS- should I pack my hair dryer? Thanks a ton!!
This sounds suspiciously like a troll to me. But just in case it’s not:
Americans are everywhere, sample the local food instead of trying to find American restaurants, with your attitude everyone will already know you’re American so might as well be proud, choose cities based on your interests, weather will vary based on time of year and part of Europe, and leave the hairdryer at home.
I haven’t been to europe yet but all my friends said that singapore (I think that’s in the country of copenhagen but am not sure) is filled with people like US. Always wear clotehs that have lots of stripes and stars on them. That way people will know you are an american and will instantly be in awe of you.
not only that but seeing stars and stripes will make them speak english.
Oh, and if it seems like they can’t speak english after all just start shouting. That always works.
The ones with clubs, drugs or hookers or a combination of those. yesWant help? take it to the pub
Americans are shot on sight in Europe.
Wow BeeLo sounds like you have a great adventure planned.
Words of advice:
Put American Flags on all your clothes, backpacks and other items so you can be found easily by the embassy in case of emergency.
Bring plenty of American Dollars as it is accepted everywhere.
Dont even bother to learn another language as everyone speaks english.
Everyone in Europe loves Americans so no problems.
Weather will include typhoons,blizzards,hurricanes,tsunamis and other interesting weather phenomenon.
Have a good trip!
LOL Yep, it’s all about cooking the boot.
Please. Refer to McDonalds by its proper name… The American Embassy.
Come play in the pub more often lankin. cheer the place up a bit
Beelo: Hi, nice to meet you. Your questions are very important ones, I would advice against anything that says you are american, such as patches on your backpack, t-shirts and stuff. Some people may be honoured to meet an american and treat you better than any other tourist, but most of them will be bitter because they envy you, you might even be a victim to a terrorist activity because they hate the fact that America is the most prosperous nation in the world.
Bring lots of batteries and film, you can’t buy any of these in Europe.
Be careful when you go into the plantations, you might be in danger of being kidnapped.
And whatever you do,
DON’T GO ON A NIGHT TRAIN ! ! !
stamps feet out of habit
Say…should the Herr bring his American condoms. He hears that condoms are hard to find in Europe because they don’t practice safe sex!!!! Can’t chance a bunch of little Herr’s running around Europe, ya know???

Paris, Nice, Arles, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Madrid
This is obviously a joke….a bad one at that.
This isn’t a joke. I repeat, this isn’t a joke.
Do they sell hairspray in Europe or should I bring my own? And gum. What about gum?? I like gum.
All I wanna do in Europe is basically hang out with other Americans. Is that cool?
I haven’t been to europe yet but all my friends said that singapore (I think that’s in the country of copenhagen but am not sure) is filled with people like US.
OMG hahaha!! I’ve gotta see it to believe it
I’ve never been so glad to be Canadian! Now lets have a beer.
For some reason Europe is still stuck in the 60s and it’s all about spreading the luv. It’s basically one giant orgy. I guess they think it’s too expensive to keep buying condoms so they gave up. That of course stopped manufacturers from producing for the european market.
Of course it’s cool to hang out with other Americans. What other reason could there possible to go to another continent?
They get Canadians drunk only so they can steal the maple leaf patches from their backpacks.
You’re gonna have to pack all the gum you think you’ll need, because European gum just tastes different and that can’t be good. And remember not to drink the water! And only go to places that loads of Americans go too so they can’t single you out. And always wear your camera around your neck so the locals can see how rich you are!
Oh, great tips, thanks Seraphim!
Well, am I bold or bald Walter, which is it? This is my first ever trip, I need to know what to pack and where to go and what to see! Make up your mind, your confusing me
LMAO!
hmmmm, then what would be the capital of Copenhagen…. Oh, I remember. Duh.
the capital of copenhagen is of course Dubai. That’s why tax is so high in copenhagen
It’s very bold of you to go to Europe (after all, those 3rd world countries are dangerous and filled with terrorist) and your bald which is why I don’t understand why you need a hairdryer… unless of course… no wait, let’s not go there. Minors might be reading this
Tsk Wa1ter. You know the capital of Copenhagen is Kodiak Wintergreen!
I thought the capitol of Copenhagen was Carlsberg!
come on JonDD. Everybody knows that Kodiak makes cameras. How could a factory be the capital of a country?
Maybe clunker’s got a point though
Carlsberg, Copenhagen’s capital.
It does have a nice ring to it.
BeeLo,
I am an American guy and my parents won’t let me go to Europe unless I am traveling with other peeps. If we travel together it will be a great opportunity for things!! I like other Americans well enough, but mostly I am looking for hot, easy European girls like my friend told me about. So we should prolly stick to those places – i hear Barcelona (the capital of Copenhagen) and Amsterdam (for drugs!) are the best. If you have any European friends (who are girls) let them know I will be coming soon. Are you hot?
p.s. I am 53.
Well, I just asked my mom and dad and they said that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to meet strangers on the internet. I could get raped or something. Maybe next year when I’m 15 we can travel together! I’ve always had a "thing" for older men! Just keep my email address at britneyspearsbiggestfan@hotmail.com and talk to me next summer! Like totally.
Hi BeeLo, welcome to EuroTrip.
Here are just a few suggestions/comments to make your trip more enjoyable:
1) Go to France. The Parisians in particular love Americans and are always happy to practice their English.
2) If you’re into hash brownies and weed, Amsterdam is the place to visit and it’s TOTALLY LEGAL there. In fact, you should definitely bring some home in your bag as a good souvenir. I recommend carry-on luggage instead of checked baggage so that you can offer some to the airline security personnel at the security checkpoint. Those people are always so serious, so I imagine that a good mellow buzz will just cheer them up.
3) If you arrive by train into Rome’s Termini Station and are assaulted by gypsies, there is no need to take extra precautions. They just feel sorry for Americans ever since 9/11 and want to welcome us to their country with hugs and kisses.
4) When you visit museums, art galleries, and ancient ruins, be sure to use a flash when taking photos. This helps capture the finer details of the subject.
5) Most tourists don’t know this, but it is actually safe to drink the water straight from the canals in both Amsterdam and Venice.
6) The prostitutes in Amsterdam’s Red Light District pose so sexy in the windows because they really want you to take a picture of them with your expensive camera.
7) Don’t go to London. They speak a different language, have yellow teeth, and still have the Black Plague.
8) A very long but worthwhile daytrip from Europe is to see the oil fields of suburban Fallujah, Iraq. To get there, just hop aboard an Army jet leaving from one of the US military bases in Germany.
9) Europe is very small so the weather is the same everywhere. Therefore, if it is hot and sunny on one of Spain’s Mediterranean beaches then it will also be hot and sunny in northern Finland.
10) Regarding the hairdryer, it is one of the true essentials for backpacker-style travel. An unfounded rumor has been circulating that Europe is on a different electrical system than we have in the states. That’s not true. If at first the plug for the hairdryer doesn’t seem to fit into the socket, just push hard and you should be able to force it in.
When are you going to be in Europe? I will be travelling there all summer and will be happy to show you around. We can go clubbing together or at least meet for a drink. I know some great places that serve Absinthe. I’m told that it is unavailable in America, but I don’t really understand why—it’s less than 100 proof and tastes just like Zima. My name is George and my email address is ilovewhitewomen@spanishfly.net.
i always bring a hairdryer!
Don’t forget to bring small gifts from america to give to the under privilege children of europe that you will meet during your travels…stamps, stickers, US pennies, and chewing gum are all acceptable gifts.
The europeans will be delighted with gifts made from seashells like necklaces and bracelets. Don’t bring scalps and hair, they freak out, remember, they are unevolved.
Jester — I disagree. The most welcome gifts are American coins. BeLoo should take a BIG bag. The natives are in awe because they’re so unusual and have actual value in Europe, besides.
They don’t let fat people into Europe Beeloo so you might as well forgetaboutit!
BWAHAHAHHAAHA That’s soooo funny. It’s sooo original.
No wait, it isn’t.
Never mind.
Good advice here. Let’s keep this thread going.
I give it a BUMP!
We already covered that Skillet.
Europe is stuck in the 60s so you can bump anybody you meet.
Herr, you’re a pussy so you don’t need male condoms. Just take your birth control pills and pray you get lucky that some man would want to fuck you. But you’ve already been fucked by everyone at San Quention correctional prison. You’ve been branded as a "
rison booty" and you know why. Apparently you gave up your butt very easily, without a fight. NOW, they have female condoms so maybe you should get those for your butthole. But don’t get those confused with the ones men use because they aren’t long enough to fit up your butt hole or anus/anal cave. Men have a penis, so you wouldn’t fit in that catergory. You are a butt pussy and I recommend you try using spermicidal creams/jellies or suppositories. Anyway, good luck and hopefully you will get lucky and get some from somebody who doesn’t care what they fuck. Just don’t fuck an animal because you will be turned in to the authorities for animal abuse.
Yeah buddy, you’re a troll. But just in case, Stupid, I recommend you put on all your red, white and blue and then walk thru a neighbor where all Middle Eastern people live in any given European city such as Paris. And make sure you tell them you are looking for Osama bin Laden’s apartment and see how much love you and friendly help you receive. You’ll be amazed. They will direct you right to his door step. And I hope you take your sunscreen with you. You’ll need it in Afghanistan. Good luck.
Apparently some people have trouble telling the difference between a troll and satire.
Nudge, nudge…wink, wink.
come on Clunk . . . look at who posted and then tell me you are truly surprised . . .
Point taken.
