Stay away from people trying to sell you stuff on the streets. I've noticed these people in italy and france. They don't exist in germany, though.

 

And wtf? No Berlin? The future capital of Europe :P

When I was in Berlin, nobody tried to sell me stuff, but there were a lot of people who tried to make me sign a paper and donate money.

OT: The London Dungeon is very fun and entertaining. Actors show you the stories of Guy Fawkes, the plague, Jack the Ripper...

I'm only going to be in London to get a tattoo.

Dude, you're cramming in too much! That list is like startung in Seattle, going to LA, to Houston, to New Orleans, to Washington, to Chicago, to New York or something. Europe isn't THAT small. You won't be able to see much of any location.

Nu tip is to avoid the usual tourist traps, don't go to the Louvre in Paris; you don't wanna stand in line for two hours when you have so little time in each city. Maybe just wander around. Or make a short list of places you wanna visit and see in each location.

In reference to the above, I'm mainly going to be getting tattoos, so the short stays are kind of appropriate to what I'm looking for. But I also want to see a bit of stuff while I'm there. And yeah, I'm not really that interested in the museums or tourist traps of that nature, but more like small hidden gems, or anything occult.

In that case I can recommend this website for you! It's amazing, really hidden gems there wherever you go. Just insert the location.

My advice is go watch the movie hostel and be careful about where you stay and that you may be pulled into an underground torturing chamber controlled by the wealthy and powerful.

Bring one of your American guns with you, also invite Padib so he can watch your back. Those Hostels are dangerous!

Pretty much 😂

Oh for sure I've been all over atlus obscura the past couple months, but there's some things it can't tell you.

Like, I can't remember exactly but I remember someone telling me to stock up on tylenol or something while I'm there because it's like a dollar or something. Or that there were these eyedrops that change your eye color but only sold in europe. There were some other things but I can't remember for sure.



The best advice you'll get here is take public transportation. You pay by the liter for gas in Europe, that's 3.8x what you'll pay in the US.

Did prof ever come back?

Yep. I was in the military stationed in Weisbaden Army Air Field, decided to go to Amsterdam by car. Cost me roughly $120 to fill up (it was a dodge neon srt4).



takes pics, and selfies with strangers in it. A selfishie.
