I am asking here because there are some fairly worldly motherfudgers inhabiting this place
I am heading to europe in june for a month and a half or so
basically I want to know what I should do (to an extent, of course)
I like castles and feats of ancient architecture
I like quaint towns with polite people
I like pleasant old timey bars in old parts of town, but a couple of night time hotspots would be sweet
I want to visit a cliffside town
I like socializing (tourists around my age, but not massive hotspots with fat people and cameras)
I also want to go to the 24 heurs de mans
I am not looking to learn a new language, phrases to get me by, yes, but places that speak english en masse would be better, I only have a couple months at most

Go to Berlin
Go to Bruges
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I wanna go see Europe so baddddd.
I envy you.
We've got castles!
Lakes!
We're close to Sweden, Norway AND Russia! There's plenty of places you can go driving against people using very questionable vehicles, the country is just beautiful if you like nature and such. People along the coast know a lot of English and if you stick to the western coasts you will hear plenty of Swedish. In the eastern parts prepare for Russians.
On the minus side nothing much happens here and after all the castles and nature and all that there isn't much else here.
Colin Farrell is super sexy and this movie is super good
just throwing that out there
Do what I did, save
I'm going totally self funded during a uni holiday
I'm sure I will someday.
Probably later than I'd like.
But then that is my own doing.
I'm already so far behind.
I may tell the registrar at law school (and my girlfriend, I guess) to just get right fucked and disappear to Germany all of a sudden.
I'm struggling to keep it back until they give me grades this semester
Oh Ed and I were talking about this. I'm starting to plan little vacations so I might try to work this in
What type of castle is that? the star shaped castle? I did some research on them a couple years back but can't recall them
Do it do it do it
they are more difficult to control than they are worth in E:TW
that's all I know about them
If you're in Berlin, we should have a drink! Or twenty!
as long as you're on the continent you can't spit without hitting a castle. Some are cooler than others, of course. Our local is frankly shit.
Personally I'd steer towards moderately- to well- populated areas, especially if you only speak english. The countryside can be fairly isolating. June shouldn't be too tourist-heavy in most spots, but the big cities get hit hard from May onwards, especially in the warmer areas. Other than that ... well, most of my favourite places to hang would be in France, but so many cities and countries are worth checking out, it's hard to recommend one thing over the others.
you can do a couple months worth of partying in one night, if you try hard enough
Don't do that if you have enough time.
And don't think about renting a car, the railroad system in Europe gets you everywhere. (Expet if you stay longer)
You won't find many Taco or Burrito selling places, but Doner kebab everywhere.
charm people, woo them
never spend a dime

Seconding that - Prague is pretty great, but I hear it's a bit of a pain during tourist season. You might be early enough. And if you're heading east, then Budapest is amazing.
just a solid exemplar of each type of culture would be sweet
and should I move towards portugal, for some reason I really want to head there
as for drinking with ya'll, I will get my general idea formed, then I will probably start something up
I would like to say Belgium, but I may be hitting up england for a few days to get my bearings before I head down
I have family history in belgium and luxemburg, otherwise it's a free for all
kidding. Amsterdam is fun even if you don't want to do the party-tourist-weed-thing. Lots of lovely small pubs and weirdass art shops and awesome museums and cultural history.

We should do an Oktoberfest PAX.
But we'd have to set a date and reseve tables a year in advance.
The best type of PAX is the kind where we wander around drunk and blackout on some nice grass or sand and chat till the early hours
I know this because AUSpax
Americans will never understand this
"Just act like someone from the prison island and everyone will love you"
mechanically reclaimed lamb scraped into a pita bread
no thank you
Does this mean it will work, or it won't
Blake is correct
you are demonstrably wrong and terrible
Sand would be a problem but the Oktoberfest has a grassy hill where drunks sleep.
yes in this straight earth, no in this gay earth
