1. Europeans need to shut the fuc up when it comes to criticizing American style. Three pieces of evidence:
a. I saw a large number of French men wearing boat shoes. I though my 55 year old boss was the last person in the world with a pair, but apparently that are all the rage in France, even among the younger crowd.
b. Camoflage style clothing seems to be all the rage in Europe, for both men and women from 15 to 50, particularly in Italy.
c. and the worst…there is absoulutely no excuse for this one…I'll steal a quote off of another wbsite to describe it…(this author is right, Barcelona was far and away the capital for this haircut)
europe is all about the rat tails. this phenomenon, also known as 'fag tags', seemed to be infiltrating every major city we visited. paris was more of a 'new age mullet' type deal, but when we continued though germany switzerland and spain the bad hair was everywhere. barcelona appeared to be the capital, with men and women of all ages taking part. there were dozens of skids and punk rockers with mohawk/fag tag splits. normal looking people, with otherwise decent style, would lose all credibility by shaving their whole heads, except for the deadly tail.
2. It's probably best not to backpack a snow covered trail in the Alps in late May. You can very easily get into a life threatening situation.
3. Italians seem to be confused by German looking American women who speak Spanish in hopes that the Italians will understand her because "Spanish is close to Italian)
4. When a guy with a pale face dressed in a freaky suit and beret wigs out your wife by touching her and gesturing to her and not speaking to her, and you react by spitting on him to defend her honor, and he reacts by responding "Go home to America, immediately" and pulls out a mirror and hold it up to you and says "asshole", you end up feeling a bit silly when you realize later that you have spit on a street mime, but still it feels pretty cool to gety a mime to talk.
5. The people you will see on a nude beach are almost inevitably the people you'd like to least see on a nude beach.
6. And damn does it feel good to be back in America, free to here American music instead of Eurotrash music. Hell, it would be good to come back to Britpop.
