Train. You get into the centre of every town/city no problem.

Can anyone thats been to Europe give some advice about getting around? Would it be better to hire a car or just use the train system there?

My skiing technique is reminiscent to how one should snowboard

With 2 items to use instead of one :-k

It's my first time snowboarding. Heading to Japan at the end of February, I'm going to probably break my leg :lol:

It's on the to do list. This is probably going to be my last international holiday for a while as I have to pay off uni debts and such but I would love to go and snowboard in NZ during their winter.

Learn to snowboard you poofs.

Yeah I think I'm heading to an Osaka game while I'm over.

I'll probably be in Japan for a few months from June onwards lads.

I'm getting there on the 3rd and leaving around the 20th. If we end up in the same place we should try and catch a J-League game

lol I get there on like the 10th.

Heading to Japan in August. Aw yiss

I dont care what they say about a Zombie Apocalypse and the Walking Dead, a visit to the city of Christchurch in New Zealand is proof of what a town can look like in a post-apocalyptic, zombie apocalypse setting

Clicky

Haha, do they do a good yolosouv?

montreal, berlin are about the greatest places on the planet. if any of you get a chance to live there for a bit - do it!

nepal is great.

new zealand is sweet as.

i miss europe, and i didnt get enough of the canadian wilderness when i was there.

I was staying in the Hotel Downtowner, which is smack bang across the road from it. I've checked into my hotel room, peered out the window and just seen the neon sign which says "Lambs".

It was love at first sight. :lol:

burma right? ive slipped across the border on the back of a ute when i was hitchiking through thailand. it was during the floods a few years ago and all the roads were getting swallowed.

im pretty keen to get back before it gets hammered by drunken dickheads - a la thai islands/bali --

Looks awesome. Will definitely have to look at that.

Please refer to the yolo kebab thread :lol:
Stalactites on Lonsdale St is an institution, in fact most places along Lonsdale St (which is the Greek 'district') are very very decent

Having gotten back from Melbourne last week, I highly recommend 'Lambs' Souvlaki restaurant on Lygon Street in Carlton.

Just saw these. Thanks mate! Kalimera looks good, Demitri's looks alright, recommend it?

Thanks mate!

i didnt visit any strip clubs......

CWBush is in Africa at the moment, his photos look awesome!

A bit similar in prices to here really, depends where you are. If you're going for an extended time have a look at getting a JR ticket which will let you on unlimited JR trains - but be aware, there are competing train companies so one unlimited ticket will only apply to that company. But the train system is as good as it gets - no need to travel by any other means for a lot of the country.

I had a cracking time in Riga, I did slightly prefer Tallinn but I loved both

I live in Stockholm so you catch the boat. I went to Tallinn but stayed inboard. Been to Helsinki a couple of times. Not so much to see.
I would recommend Stockholm in the summer.

Interesting with Riga. Perhaps Tallinn is the better city? Lisbon also looks pretty nice.

My last 3 trips have been Coventry, Dusseldorf and Copenhagen.
Coventry was as expected.
Dusseldorf was below my expectations, crap
and Copenhagen wasn't as good as I remembered.
My brother lives in Edinburgh so I've been there a bit and it is quite beautiful.
Everyone goes on about Barcelona. I haven't been there, but I have been to Porto. It's very very beautiful. Hilly. The river and bridges and all the port distillieries on the other side of the river bank. They also have strict laws about food.... So expect to wait longer but you get hand cut chips and a few times we had to wait for the butcher to come on his moped but its really worth it.

And stay away from Riga. Waking up in Latvia is not really a nice way to start the morning.

Been in Germany 5 years now. Unfortunately, I've started taking the proximity to other places for granted. While I've seen quite a lot of Germany, I've still never been to Spain, Switzerland or Ireland. Three places I'd like to say I've visited. Numerous London, Berlin and New York visits have never disappointed and Edinburgh exceeded my expectations the most though I had quite low ones before visiting. Which places have exceeded your expectations or disappointed you?

Marseilles is the Napoli of France. I'm sure it's beautiful but i'll be staying fucking well away from it.
