So I've decided to take a mini-vacation to Europe Feb. 1-3 and need an opinion.
My objective is to eat some good food and see a few sights. I am torn between Ireland, Scotland, Greece, and Portugal... So, cast a vote. P.S. - tickets to Europe on that weekend are ~$500 if anyone is interested -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

i think hong kong is still definitely its own little world.
my nephews are german. and hey the german education system is fucked as well. my oldest sister (raised in germany, educated in germany) didnt know where canada was until she moved to america with my parents. they like telling that story. i was just more taken back by my nephews not having seen a black person in real life. but when i think about it, other than an American military man (who would spend most of his time there on base or around it) i havent seen a black person in germany. though i do know they exist! you can go up north in america and people dont even know what mexican food is! how do you expect a japanese person to know anything about stuff like that. but they do love KFC! when i was there i just kept thinking "for reals? kfc?... for real, come on now" we've got better exports than the colonel -------------------- Little monkeys making money

[A] i think hong kong is still definitely its own little world. [B] my nephews are german. and hey the german education system is fucked as well. my oldest sister (raised in germany, educated in germany) didnt know where canada was until she moved to america with my parents. they like telling that story. i was just more taken back by my nephews not having seen a black person in real life. but when i think about it, other than an American military man (who would spend most of his time there on base or around it) i havent seen a black person in germany. though i do know they exist! I'm still trying to figure out how [A] relates to [B] or how [B] relates to anything said already <scratches head> As for the German education system it is fucking good, I have NO idea what that is all about... seriously, it's fucking good, it's insane. Probably up there as best in the world. -------------------- ![]() |
