Devilush Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 thats awesome (the money and not your girl getting fucked up). you know what you should do? travel all around by train. it doesnt take that long and the sights are just beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 hostels on the cheap. go to markets and bakeries for food at least 2 out of 3 meals daily do as much walking, free bike riding as possible then budget $175/wk+ per person to vacation comfortably..roughly the euro is currently bending the dollar over so don't expect your money to go too far in touristy places like paris and london. AVOID any and all food and drink places near tourist attractions. they will rip you. paris was incredible. don't forget the louvre. spain is amazing..if you're all around, you shouldn't miss that or italy... at least rome.. i reccomend getting lonely planet or rough guide Europe current edition asap and start reading.. www.lonelyplanet.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_dowmagik Posted April 21, 2004 Author Share Posted April 21, 2004 roughly, how much does it cost to stay a night in a hostel? as long as we can hump and not be disturbed we dont really care how fancy the place is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 get the freakin book! it's gonna be different ...everywhere! some hostels have curfews, private rooms, or not, bathrooms, or shared..you have to look into it this books are only about $30 and between all the maps, tips on where to stay/eat, how to communicate, train info, museum info etc, they're invaluable.

Fabo 2 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 coming to london will just eat your money away. Don't expect it to last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 yeah, london is expensive as hell. im in the middle of planning a summer in europe myself. unfortunately im running into money issues. yet another reason to steal your girl from you. www.ryanair.com with that site you can basically afford to go anyplace you want. it's so cheap, its almost obscene. most flights for under 10 euro each way (roughly $12.50 US). i would highly suggest rome/italy. thats where the bulk of my time will be spent this summer. the more '1st world' country your in, the more expensive it will be. go out into the middle of no where, or in countries where tourists dont flood to, and it gets silly cheap. i stayed in plenty of super dope hotels in vietnam for $6 a night. but really dude, you got $26,000 of someone elses money, live it up!

[/url] England doesnt use the euro. The euro would be better in fact compared to the pound which seems to fluctuate between $1.60-$1.80 per 1 pound. London is spensive but its not impossible. Hostels are a good way to go. And I highly recommend filling out the forms at customs to get the VAT tax back (save your receipts). VAT is something like 8% which is like totally crazy and stuff.

DR+DELUSION Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 IF YOU GO TO EUROPE AND DO NOT VISIT ITALY, SPECIFICALLY CAPRI, I'LL KILL YOU. it's paradise. walk around all day guzzling limoncello and smoking euro cigs and while getting a tan and breezing through designer boutiques and posing for pictures on other people's yachts. any small island that has gucci, prada, cavalli, lv, valentino, max mara, versace, armani, zegna and others within a mile radius of eachother is heaven on earth.

Nekro Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Purchase guidebooks! Read "Europe through the back door" by Rick Steves before you go and get his guides to everywhere you g. Book your rooms from his reccomendations. Do your homework! Personally, I didn't think amsterdam was nice at all. You couldn't tell who was there for the drugs and who was there for the sex... Kind of icky. If you're going to Belgium, go to Brugge and skip Brussels. Learn french, you'll be happy. Everyone in Holland and Belgium speaks english.

Devilush Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 ^^learn french. even if its the easy words to get by on, they'll like you better. go to italy too, its one of my fave places in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 ^yeah or at least try. the frenchies were way cooler than everyone claims.. i massacred their language, but they seemed pleased i was at least attempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilush Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 yea i took french for 4 years and learned the easy shit. i wish they took us to france when i was learning it. i would have mastered that language by now! i like the french. i met a really beautiful boy that sold hair products in saint paul de vence because i was trying to speak french to him. he smiled at me but i think he was thinking i was an idiot. i'm sure of it now.

SteveAustin Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 I had a complete fucking blast in London. It was completely bad-ass. As a matter of fact...I hated it when I came back to the states.

T.T Boy Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 give us a ring if you come to roma. check out bavaria, its slept on alot. its a beautiful part of germany. small cities are where the funs at. switzerland is dope too, go to basel and float down the rhine. oh and capri is overrated. bologna, padova, genoa are beautiful cities in italy. venice is overrated, stay a day then get the fuck out.
