It's finally happening, in two days time I am jumping a plane to mainland Europe and then I am spending nearly a whole month just bumming around Europe solo going wherever I please. I have spent the day buying bits and bobs and changing my money into Euros and have been learning a bit of the lingo. Este oso come fresas. I have a beach towel, clean kecks, a backpack, an interrail train ticket and I even bought a selfy stick. The world is my lobster. Over the coming weeks I will be posting lots of pictures up in this thread of various octopusses etc I am eating and you will probably get to see my pasty brit-nips at some point or another as I chill on the various beaches as posting my snappy snaps will no doubt help to pass the time in the various lovely hostels I intend to stay at. Will I end up dead in a ditch in Latvia? Who knows, but it will be a fun ride and I will document it here. What I could really use right now is suggestions of some summer beats to load onto my ipod as well as some good reads for my kindle. I begin my adventure by flying into Madrid this coming Friday, where should I check out whilst I am there?

As an American who was recently in a few different places in Europe for the first time, I will give you this advice: If you ask for an ice water in any restaurant a nearby American will loudly inform you "THEY DONT HAVE ICE HERE" in such a way that makes you want to slap them, however the waiter will still bring you an ice water. Also if anybody says "You're not fat enough to be American!" in a joking way, it is apparently offensive to say "You're not drunk enough to be German!" in response. HTH

And some bread and beer. Have a picnic outside in the park, no one gives a gently caress if you drink in public.

This guy knows what time it is. Zombiepop posted:gently caress you go home! we dont need your kind here! Also go to Poland, or Berlin. Time permitting, I'm mostly going to be going to the hotter parts of Europe I think, Spain, south of France, Italy, Croatia maybe. But I would like to try a nice big spicy bratwurst.

Be sure to talk and laugh as loud as you can. Europeans find it an endearing American trait.

Is Cadiz nice? Cadiz is really nice. In about a month it's going to be a ghost town and it's better that way. And that's plaza españa. You could also visit the alcazar there as it's where they filmed the scenes in GoT for the Dornish palace
