Fat Woman With Fake Eyelashes...

by coceng

Vienna is a safe place, no danger whatsoever. No gypsies breast-feeding their babies, no hippies holding banners promoting their lifestyles. Visiting Schonbrunn Palace is a must, definitely. Be warned that the place is always full of people ! That's what my friend Joe said to me.My advice, please don't take a shower in the morning that you are supposed to visit The Schonbrunn Palace. Don't even put a perfume or an after-shave. Why ?My (bad) experience :I bought my ticket, waited for my line & entered the place. One room after another, walking slowly as schoolgirls, schoolboys, tour groups, couples, un-married couples etc were doing the same in the long long queue in front of me.In front of me was this tour group maybe from Japan & there's this fat woman with thick home-made eyelashes reading the texts to them.I was feasting my eyes on the amazing interior decorations of the rooms, one by...

Food for Vegans?

by gothsi

Part of the most frustrating factor of travelling and dining out can be when one has specific dietary requirements.Here is a look at the most commonly found foods in parts of Europe, and the availability of Vegan and vegetarian optionsNote on food in Europe:Most Europeans, in observing the countries I have been to, and also the opinions of friends, do not eat the 'traditional' foods of their own country on a regular basis, especially in regards to young people, big cities, and dining out. As like most ot the world nowadays, food has become an international affair, with offerings such as Italian, Turkish, and British cuisine being the most common in all fast-food type dining.I will file some more specific info on my travel pages under each country. My thoughts on the countries I had been to:(ranked most likely to find organic food in stores)GermanySwitzerlandSwedenDenmark(ranked most...

Monaco police

by b1bob

I became even LESS impressed with Monaco when this relaxing afternoon of "fine" photography came to an abrupt end. I snapped a photo of a police officer directing traffic. Since my granddaddy was a deputy sheriff of Halifax County, Virginia, I have always been interested in all the different police uniforms and police cars. Since I found out later that it wasn't illegal to photograph a policeman in Monaco, I figured this guy didn't have a good side for me to take, but this policeman chased me all over the tiny principality and I was running as fast as my young legs could carry me. Everything from that point to the train station was a blur and I was jumping over barriers like they were nothing. (Of course, I was pushing 20 back then. If I tried to jump those barriers now, I would rack myself like that hapless soul on Wide World of Sports.) I made it to the train station and, with my...

Currency 2003

by Galahad

For those of you from the States the euro zone must seem expensive and the UK even more so. Be warned to bring enough money with you, even we in the UK think the euro zone, is expensive at present. It is 13% more expensive at the end of May 2003 than it was in Jan 2003.

Whitsuntide in Renesse, Netherlands

by elbe

Be careful if you plan to come to Renesse over Whitsuntide! If you plan to do a drink- and party-trip you’re right in this period. But if you just want to spend some quiet days at the beach you’ll be very disappointed. Many young Germans from the Rhineland go to Renesse or Domburg over Whitsuntide to have four days full of party and drinking.

Taxis

by b1bob

Don't let this happen to you: I got taken for a ride (figuratively and literally) by a Madrid taxi driver. He charged the equivalent of $50 U.S. for a ride from Barajas Airport to the Universidad Complutense (near Moncloa). Make sure the driver is legitimate regardless of how tired you are after a long flight. (This is not only a Madrid problem, folks.) Nowadays, the metro goes clear to Barajas (it didn't in July, 1990), so you don't have to fool with it.

Walls & chains

by b1bob

Because most people were a lot shorter in medieval days, tall folks mind your head when touring medieval walls, castles or fortresses. I learned this the hard way. Also, to keep folks from parking on the sidewalk, some towns or businesses erect chains. If you have to cross the street in a hurry, mind the chain. Don't make the same mistake I did.

by A2002

I was told and did that and did not have mishaps:1. Avoid the gypsies in Paris. When I saw them, I kept a distance from them and avoid eye contacts.2. Becareful in train stations in Italy, especially in Rome. If you are looking for directions from the train station, get out of the station and only take out your map somewhere else. Look as if you know your way. Avoid children too. They are skilled pickpockets!!!3. Avoid crowded places. Maybe I get a bit paranoid after hearing the stories and mishaps that others encountered in Italy. Even tourists that I met on the train while travelling are also telling me the stories. I kept my wallet right in my sling bag and always put my bag in front of me with my hands on it when in crowded or tourist area.4. Avoid taking out your wallet or money where others can see that you have lots. I keep some enough for the day in my pockets. When I need it,...
