The British were total assholes when I was over in Europe. The French, for all their bad reputation, were incredibly sweet for the most part. Italians just kinda didn't give a gently caress.

To be fair, they were about to elect David Cameron when I was there, that was half their problem.

The UK had cool buildings and stuff, but the beer sucked. I had thought they did stouts there but the darkest thing any given pub tended to carry was an ESB, which as far as I can tell is beer which was made wrong on purpose, as a joke

The Netherlands was close enough to Belgium that it had Belgian beer everywhere so I was happy as a clam there

I think the big problem was I was on a tour that limited me to London. If I'd seen some other towns, I probably would've enjoyed England more.

The countryside is nice but the people there are not any nicer (see: earlier posts)

weirdly the only "parents immigrated straight from the netherlands" Dutch people I knew were all really short, and they said their parents moved because they wanted more opportunities (being dirt farmers in the agribusiness dominated shithole we lived in)

Yeah a large part of the problem was that I would just go to whichever pub was nearby and seemed to have decent atmosphere, and they all had pretty good atmosphere, but poo poo beer

I never really planned any particular excursion around what pubs were nearby. Scotch being cheaper there was nice though
