My trip to Europe that is. Went to Paris (BTW spen if your still wondering Arc de Triomph was to celebrate one of Napoleon victories, and after WWI it was used for the grave of the unkown soldier) saw all the sights there (everyone knows what they are so I don't really need to tell them). I had a very different view of the French than Spen, I thought all the sterotypes of the french were correct. The were rude, arrogent assholes. I speak french fairly well but it is canadian french and the French looked like I just took a shit on their shoes when ever I spoke because I basterdized their language so badly.

I saw the French Grand Prix which was fucking sweet. Then I left to Spain. The Spanish are much nicer than the French. If anyone is looking for an interesting challenge try ordering a meal in Spain that doens't contain ham. Madrid was great but very hot, Barcelona had a great beach with hot naked women. Plus any country that sells a litre of Heiniken for .89 cents is automatically one of my favorite countries in the world. Italy was great saw all the sights there as well.

I loved Amsterdam. It was more than just the drugs and the red light district, the people and the culture were great. I couldn't do justise to it b trying to explain it, but everyone at some point in their lives must go there. But of course every now and then even I had to stop and notice the smell of urine, (dutch guys for some reason love to pee on the street).

The only reason I left Amsterdam was to see the Rolling Stones in Hamburg. I tickets for the floor so I stood in lone for 12 hours to gets good spots. It was worth it, I was staning right by the railing. I shook Mick Jagger's hand, and caught one of Charlie Watt's drum sticks after the set when he threw them out into the crowd. One thing I am very curious about Germany is how they have so many hot women there. The entire German diet seems to consist of sausage and beer. In the 5 days I was there I gained about 6 pounds. But yet the women seem fit and slender.

I had an hour stop over in Toronto yesterday, and I tried a month ago to get that layover changed to 3 days so I could see ACDC, the Stones, plus many more there but since Air Canada are assholes they said no, no fee could change it. I really hate Air Canada, they also lost my backpack. I hope I'll get it back tomorrow.

Also I have no idea why anyone would think I lying about going to Europe as suggested in other posts. I rightfully deserve my reputation as a "Drama Queen" (I will try to change that) but I have never lied and don't really know why anyone would think that I did.

I don't know about a liter (I'm American, we don't use your newfangled measuring system here) but there's a bathtub of the stuff in the back.

Speaking of Urine and Heiniken...they're the exact same thing!

Spanish men tend to be arseholes, so you mucst have dealt mostly with the women like I do.

What did you think of the traffic? Are those people nuts or what? You slow down so you can turn in to grab some petrol, next thing you know *beeeeeeeeeeeeb*, you've got fucking horns sounding at you from all directions, and then some fucker zooms by on a motorcycle wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. And you see entire families of 5 riding on one moped. Mainland Europeans are NUTS.

I love Hamburg. I have some family that lives there and I go about every two or three years to hang out at the Reperbahn which is their red light district, but also houses some great bars with great live music.

I am glad to here about Spain as I always wanted to go there and have it on my 'To Do' list. I really would like to be one of those assholes that flies ther to do the running of the bulls.

We'll see.

I don't mind Heiniken, not the greatest beer but definitley not the worst. Although I may have been brain washed by the Heiniken brewery tour I did.

Now that I think of it I did mainly deal with Spanish women.

Drivers are insane. I was once walking down a little allyway cramed with people and I thought it was a pedestrian only street becasue there were people all over it. But then a car comes driving down it blaring its horn, when passed, people had to cram against the wall to let it by. IT was going well for the driver until another car came for the other direction. The 2 guys driving each got of the car (barely for the doors were just able to open in that amount of space) and started to yell at each other. I walked away before any conclusion was made.

The only reason I went there was to see the Rolling Stones. But I met some guys from England at the concert who told me about the "Red Light Madness" festivel at the Reperbahn. It was mainly a biker thing but it was still a lot of fun. The biggest mystery of my trip took involved that. I woke up on Sat morning wondering how the hell I got back to my hotel room, then I rolled over and saw a fairly hot girl. So not only do I not remember getting home, I don't remember getting laid or even meeting this girl. Now I think we walked to my hotel for I just developed my pictures and there were some of her.

If you do go to the running of the bulls, plan it out at least 6 months in advance for Pompola is very crowed at that time (which is the reason I didn't go, I was in Spain at the time). I met some guys who ran though. One had a broken arm from jumping over the wall and landing on it, another had a great gash in his leg. Many others were fine and they said as long as you were not a dumbass you wouldn't be hit.

I had a beer in Munich that was practically black, and really thick. I drank about six liters of it.

And you can buy liters of beer in the US.

Amsterdam rocks. The vibe is like New York city except that there are canals all over the place and they have socialized medicine (I think).

I would live there if I could.

Moments after stepping off the train, I was approached by a dealer who tried to sell me something in about seven different languages.
