Who here lives in Europe?

[robina]

I think I'll throw myself in the 'European' pool too, even if no-one notices. I'm from London, England. You probably all know this already but it's very, very diverse down here (except for where I live, about 90% black). Wouldn't mind travelling more around Europe one day, have so far been to Italy and France so far (albeit only briefly to both countries). Ah well...

*...continues skinny-dipping...*

and where bouts do you live maybe we should have a forum trip down there
( my guess is an area of london which would be down the country for me )

Lol! Well i'm in a pretty well-known place (mainly for the wrong reasons) called Hackney, East London. Not sure how far that is from you.

To coin a phrase from Dr. Cox out of 'Scrubs' - you re-he-he-he-he-heeaallly don't want to have a forum trip down HERE, of all places in London!

Having said that though, it's actually improving. Maybe because I've moved to a different part now, or because the 2012 Olympics will be nearby, but I haven't heard about anyone being shot or stabbed around here for a while...

I'm glad you are doing good in London. Just spent five days there four weeks ago and loved it.

 

[fromrussiawithlove]

Only Italy and France, but briefly in Italy because we touched down en-route to Nigeria (that's what happens when you fly with Alitalia), then again it was in the '90s. Any recommendations Soulthinker? I'm considering Spain or Portugal...

PORTUGAL, PORTUGAL, PORTUGAL!
Unless you intend to go to Ibiza or a party town like that, I'd advise you to go to Portugal. Along with Italy, it's my favourite country in Europe and I feel like I've been to almost all of them

Also Spain's wank

Yeah it can be really good, depending on what part you're in. West and Central London are winners in my book. Minus a few places, you're normally better off avoiding South and East London.

Lol! Why so?

Ah, yeah Ibiza! Thanks for reminding me, I knew there was a good reason why I wanted to visit Spain . And yeah, Italy wasn't bad. I've only been to Rome though.

Where are the best places to visit in Portugal, fromrussiawithlove???

eh bout 3 and a half/ 4 hours south of me then

cant say ive ever heard anything bad about hackney

 

[Soulthinker]

I've been to France and Italy. During my stay in London I saw a lot more French tourists which changed my mind on going to Paris. I have not been to Spain or Portugal. I never forgot their win against Holland and their treatment of Lewis Hamilton.

Really?? I dated a lad from there that moved to Manchester and he was extremely glad to leave there. He told me some stories... not exactly number one on my holiday destinations list!

It's the people, mate. At least in Catalunya. Very cold and unfriendly, unless they're working in restaurants. But even then, they're still extremely rude by Brit standards. Some are quite racist too so you've got to be careful about where you go.

Lisbon was amazing for me. My friends and I went in the summer, and the beaches are great, the party scene is fun, people are friendly and everything is cheap

Lol! Really? There was a time when I'd hear nothing BUT bad things about Hackney. That was yesterday

Seriously though, it's sort of getting better. Still a terrible area though, but at least less people are getting killed. Can't wait to move...
I do know of one or two areas within Hackney that aren't total wastelands though...

Yeah there's always a lot tourists, normally taking pictures of St. Paul's Cathedral or Trafalgar Square. How was Italy? And how did they treat Lewis Hamilton in Spain???

...And slowly Spain drops off my bucket list. Although, my uncle said Barcelona wasn't bad. But if it is like you said, I might have to reconsider. Portugal, on the other hand, sounds splendid though, especially the beaches. Yeah, definitely going to look into it more. And possibly Holland.

In further regards to my "beloved" hometown, Hackney...I have plenty of (horror) stories, so I'm pretty sure the guy you dated wasn't far off

 

[Soulthinker]

The Spanish treatment of Hamilton was not good. Some even have some tried to have nooses at them. Also they do monkey chants.

Yeah, just found out. Jeez, didn't know racism was THAT rife in Spain. Disgusting.

I'm a big fan of formula 1, and i see how spanish and alonso fans behave when someone is defeting him.

i think its more about trying to make hamilton loose control than being racists at all.

Even if that was the case, it's still stupid and disgusting. Surely they could find more tasteful/less racist ways to jeer Hamilton.

 

[Soulthinker]

True Generic BritGuy,there are other ways to jeer someone with referring to his race.

Eu sunt romanca, dar locuiesc in State de zece ani. Sper sa vin acasa pentru o saptamana in ianuarie, dar nu sunt inca sigura. O sa stau in Bucuresti la fratele meu si o sa merg cateva zile la Turnu Magurele. Locuiesti pe undeva prin apropiere?

Ar fi minunat daca ne-am putea intalni si tine legatura. Nu stiu nici o alta romanaca cu aceasi preferinta pentru baieti. Aici am grupul meu de prieteni, dar nici unul dintre ei este roman. M-as bucura tare daca am reusi sa ne cunoastem.

Crezi ca poti sa urmezi linkul pe care il am listat in profilul meu ca sa putem lua legatura. Nu cred ca e o idee prea buna sa punem e-mailurile personale in forumul acesta international.

Buna! Ma bucur sa vad ca mai sunt romance prin preajma.Eu am parintii in Bucuresti si am fost si in state de cateva ori.Si eu tot in Bucuresti stau asa ca daca esti prin preajma, da un semn.Imi poti trimite mesaj cu adresa de email sau id-ul de mess.Mi-ar face placere sa ne cunoastem.Pupici
