I could have titled it differently but I figured that would grab your attention more easily ;) Anyhow I was looking for a place to go on vacation before I "move" to Chicago and Pensacola, and was thinking about heading over to the Europe scene. Is there really anything to do over there thats worth a visit? I was thinking about it and thought eh maybe I'll ask around first before I read some pamphlets that are 98% bull**** anyhow. If I was to head over in the spring what would there be to do?

Well, in Europe you have Italy, Spain, France, Germany, UK, Sweden and Belgium etc. etc.

Spain is great although it depends on where you go. If you go to a tourist hot spot, it will no doubt be a dive. Weather is good and people are friendly. I went to Barcelona and that place is great. Although you have to watch out for the street crime there. It has a relatively bad rep for muggings and pickpocketings and stuff like that.

Italy i have never been to but it seems like one of the most cultured countries. Loads of **** to visit. You probably already know the main places there, just as well as i do.

France is great, although if you are gonna go there, go to the south part. Its hotter there and its generally nicer. Or Paris, is the exception in the North. Paris is great, loads to do, they have like thousands of restaurants and bars every ****ing where. Generally speaking the north has worse weather and is more "industrial". Like when you turn up in France from England you are greeted with like 5 straight miles of factories and **** like that, in Calais.

England is ****ing great. London you will love. I would definetly argue that London has some of the best history that you can visit, and basically relies upon tourism so it is really well adapted for tourists. West end is like the entertainment capital. You can pretty much do anything there....

You also have Buckingham Palace, the various Parks and loads of stuff like that. However if you are going to be driving, watch out for the congestion charge.

Germany, i have never been to, but it seems ok from what i am told. It would be the lowest priority for me if i was visiting Europe. Perhaps "Dude" can come on here and promote his land... :)
