The Travel Advice Thread

It's probably that way for any American traveling abroad to any foreign country.

 

[AWdeV]

Yeah, Canada is cool.

 

[Wolfang]

If you're travelling abroad, people will be a lot more open if you're Canadian, than if you're 'American'.

 

[Deserath]

I heard that isn't necessarily true anymore, will Europeans really take to us different if we say we're from the states instead of Canada?

 

[Wolfang]

If you speak loudly and make lots of American-ish noise and go like THE CARS ARE A LOT SMALLER HERE LOL


then yes.

otherwise, not visibly.

 

[Deserath]

So you're referring to the generic obnoxious American Tourist couple?

 

[Wolfang]

Which are quite common, yes

If people from Russia are loud, it's not as bad, since no one understands them, but Americans forget that 100% of Western Europe understands English.

What to take with you on a trip through the sahara:
****ING EPIC SHADES
****ING EPIC SUNSCREEN
****ING EPIC BOERKA-ISH THING AGAINST SAND STORM (covers everything except eyes)
****ING EPIC DESERT SHOES
****ING ****TONS OF WATER
****ING EPIC LIP BALM

In my case, it would make a difference. Instead of "Bloody canuck" I'd say "Bloody yank."

There's ****loads of obnoxious Canadian touristy people too.

 

[AWdeV]

Yes probably, but they get mentally classified in the annoying-yank section.

 

[Wolfang]

I think Canadians are considered more European (civilized) over here 

 

[Deserath]

They only seem more civilized because they're our Fancy Top-hat that knows some French.

So far it's just an idea, no plans so far but a probable idea.

I'm thinking on going on a roadtrip with friends, down to denmark trough germany. France as well and ultimately GB, iv'e been going trough routes and locations. But so far all i can make out from those routes is that they will take me from one place to another.

>_<

So I was rather hoping some of you locals could suggest places to go and visit. What to do and such.

 

[Bulle]

Well... Specify! What kind of stuff do you want to see?

That is a) not a top-hat and b) Canada is actually a lot bigger than the US. If Canada IS a top-hat then the USA is a veritable gnome beneath it. :3



Yes, Eino, specify! Our resident Danes and/or Jerries may be able to help you out with some neat ideas if you give them a rough route. You can always just take some time for each place, look around the countrysides, check the cites and maybe go for the standard "impressive buildings" tourist-y attractions. Or go to number 2 here.

Nuremburg.

 

[AWdeV]

Better yet, the Nürburgring. On account of it being actually interesting instead of dreary history you can look up anywhere.
