[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are trashing some fairly fun places. Vegas, LA, Disney. Come on, you can have a great time there if you have money to spend. Wayyyy better than any city or small town in most of Europe. I've been basically bored to tears traveling and living in Europe.

You see 2-3 eastern european castles and you've seen them all. Tons of poverty, sketchy gypsies and countryside folks, tourist traps left and right. Food is merely decent. Alcoholics everywhere. I'm talking Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary (at least some spicy food in Hungary I guess).

The germanic countries are the most plain vanilla, boring places ever. Terrible food in Germany and Austria. People are so stiff everywhere. Not much interesting architecture thanks to getting bombed all to hell. Wow, Vienna has an opera house. Ok, never seen one of those before. Berlin at least is a somewhat "happening" city but probably the only one. Skiing in the alps is fun but you can ski in the US too.

London felt like America but with worse store and restaurant hours and an indian food restaurant on every corner. Wow a big clock tower. Amazing. The small towns throughout ENgland are snooze fests."Bed and Breakfast #253, coming up!"

Stockholm was almost as boring as a German city except they have that cool waterside amusement park. Some decent restaurants. But come on, Abba museum? Old town (brownish buildings with no personality).

Outside of smoking weed, Amsterdam and the surrounding areas are a letdown. Wow, you can bike! If I wanted to bike I'd do it at home.

Belgium I guess at east has liege waffles, strong beer, and jenever. Some nice architecture.

I'll give Paris and Rome a thumbs up because the food and things to see are quite good. I did legitimately enjoy these cities.

The greek islands are so-so. Tons of tourist traps but at least the weather and scenery is nice. The sea is waaayyyyyy too cold, though. Give me Hawaii or Puerto Rico any day over any European beach destination!

If someone gave me the option between Disney, Vegas, or Europe (Italy and France excluded), Europe would be my third choice.
