I will be leaving in september with a friend of mine for one final fling of irresponcibility before adulthood. We'll fly our of washington DC into London, and travel all around the continent as log and far as our money will take us, haveing wacky advetures and in general having a good ol' time. Also, apreciating culture and history.

As many of you here on the forums live over there, I figured it might be interesting to meet some of you in person, if you are willing. Maby get lunch, or a cup of tea, or whatever. I'm not asking anyone to take us into their homes, just maby talk for a bit at a cafe, as I'm ganna be in your area anyway, and maby give some advice, as a local to some tourists.

I'm starting out in London, but after that, all of England, Holland, Belgum, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, France, and Ireland is fair game.

Anyone interested?

Also, general advice as to your personal area is apreciated, as well

Well, since no Scandinavian country is mentioned, I'm off the hook.

I have two pieces of advice for you, though:

Do not bring white socks with you. If you do, you'll be tempted to wear them, and wearing them you'll look like American tourists. And that's not good.

Take your shoes off when entering someone's home. I've noticed some Americans not having gotten the memo on that one.

Just drop me a line when you're in Dublin, I can show you around a bit if you want to. :)

Congrats on the european youth tour
Welcome to the low rung of the american upper class ;)

ditto. it also makes a good excuse for me to meet other NSers from dublin. :)

Harlesburg does not appear to be on the list. :eek: :confused: :(

Last time I checked the map, New Zealand wasn't in Europe.. has that changed? ;)

When you say all of England, do you mean up north too? If so, you could always meet up with our famous Manchester NSers... There's a lot about the city that people down south (who may try to put you off) don't know about it. I'd be happy to tell you anything you needed to know if you're coming this far up. I moved out of the city few years back and now I live in a nearish village.

If, after you've done the rest of the UK, you go south out of London to get a boat over to France or Belgium make sure you go via Rochester and Canterbury on the old pilgrims way.
It's old and cool. will give you a break after all the clubbing up north :p

Last time i checked Cabra West was a smart arse has that changed? :D

Harlesburg is independent of this so called 'New Zealand' and is not Zealand or Zeeland in any nation similar to Holland either!

Of course!
Although it is hidden by a cloaking device.
It is West of Ireland and is the true Atlantis. :eek: Arrrgh he knows too much!Kill him kill him now.

Well i could change my location to "Propping up the Bar" or the tried and trusted "In front of my Computer".

Just drop me a line when you're in Dublin, I can show you around a bit if you want to. :)

I shall most certainly do that. I'll find me a computer, come on forum, and get in touch with you.

I'll be sure to get in touch with you as well, thanks.

Oh, I definatly plan to spend some time in Manchester. I have a friend who lived in England for a few months, and she said it's an amazing city. I'll let you know when I'm in the country, should be early Sept.

Why have you ignored Scotland?

Well if you happened to pop down to Morocco at that time Im going to be there. Have a nice place on the med. You can come and hang out for the day beachside.

I wanna visit Scotland, my friend does not, for some reason. I'll probably drag her once we get over there, though

Cheap flight into Inverness then go south (after you've seen the loch ness monster :rolleyes: ) to Aberdeen, Sterling, Edinburg then cross to Glasgow and south back to Manchester and Liverpool. Easy day out. :p

Made my plane reservations today. I'll be arriving at London Hethrow Airport on Sept 16th. A few days after that, I'll be going up to Manchester.

Any Londoners out there willing to show me around? Or Manchester-ers, for that matter?

I'm ganna be gone 'till August 15th. Going to North Carolina, then South Carolina, then Key West. I'll check on this thread when I return
