yeah if you hang out with a bunch of geeks

the britmeet was possibly the highlight of my trip, and i'd go back to england for another, but im never going back just to visit the country

there's nothing about england that makes it a good tourist or travel destination

a) it's cold, rainy, bitter
b) the people are very unfriendly
c) it's about as exotic as the toilets at campus
d) attractions are for the most part limited to one of the most expensive cities and every brit at those attractions will talk about how great the british empire was etc
e) british girls are by far the least attractive in western euroe, and possibly even the whole wide world
f) due to the girls being so ugly, the male population evolved a terrible taste so that they could fuck without being disgusted and so all the males have horrible tastes
g) stuff is expensive and bland
h) the food is either bland or tastes like shit (hooray for fish and chips!)

england has got interesting stuff but nothing that surpasses cities like Paris or Rome or other southern european countries that also have FRIENDLY PEOPLE GOOD FOOD CHEAP PRICES AND PRETTY GIRLS

altho i would like to see stonehenge... just too bad greek and roman ruins are far more interesting

Though England has its little good things as well like for example:
- Their services actually work (opposite to Italy)
- Emh..... uh.......... hm......... I think that was it...

Well, I've only been to London once, so I don't really know the city very well, but generally the rule is that if people go there, it's expensive. Virtually everything in Paris and Rome is expensive, except for the places that are in less visible streets or are far away from the center.

Despite not knowing London very well, I think I can rightfully say that everything else in Europe pales in comparison to Paris and Rome.

yeah don't go to England. It's terrible. The ONLY good place in england is the centre of London (and a partial coolness to obscure villages that're still stuck in the 1800s where it's stillcommon to see toffs riding around on horseback). Everything else is like wasteland.

England's a beautifull country, not a word against it.

Seriously though, i'd want to visit Iceland. There and Russia.
Also Japan, but mainly because of how completely bizarre it seems to be.

Unless you're talking about Moscow and St. Petersburg (which are totally awesome), there's no other reason you'd want to go to Russia

The place seems to have a surreal air of grumpiness.

And nobody does Dark Ambient like the Russians.

Moderate tempratures in summers icy winters lots of fish to fish with your fishin hat.
St.John's Is the Capitol and is the oldest City in all of north America (if your 19+ then get Shit faced on George street, with more bars per sq foot then anywhere else in the world!)

We have a rich artisic history in Visual and Musical Arts ... very friendly people and very strong alcohol

There's nothing wrong with the meat in India - you just don't get a lot. The only thing you need be concerned about, I mean concerned enough to avoid entirely, is raw vegetables and this is about the same anywhere you go travelling in the third world. Meat in India is just limited to scrawny chickens and mutton. I had catfish in a rural part of the country and it actually wasn't that bad, but you can't expect to get a big freaking steak or 8lb chicken or anything. It's generally entirely safe though, as long as you're not stupid about where you're getting it. Also, India is only cost effective if you're not picky about where you're staying and how you get around. Sure, you can hire a smelly, hot little autorickshaw for the equivalent a buck after you haggle with the driver, but a lot of people would prefer a taxi with AC and these cost real money. Shopping is expensive there, don't be fooled. The shop owners in tourist destinations KNOW what tourists are after. You have to travel into the country and rural areas to shop more cheaply, and most wouldn't want to because there isn't much to see in these places.

BUT I DIGRESS. India is not a weekend destination. Nor is the Middle East, unless you're getting there FREE with the navy, though Marcus wrote a nice post on it. You want a good weekend trip, I dunno, follow RPGer's post.

WHY SO SERIOUS HAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA
