I loved Paris and Amsterdam, the architecture, history, food, wine, everything, the new things that aren't around here in the US. I could have lived without a good dose of French attitude but on the other hand I was super surprised how awesome the people in Amsterdam were (minus the pick pocket).
Great experience and I'd do it again for sure.-
Cool! You visited Amsterdam!
I live in Rotterdam and I visit Amsterdam so now and then...sometimes it's a bit too crowded for me. It really a touristic place.
I visited a few cities in Europa. All very lovely and divers and I still have many more to go to. I would love to go the States in the near future....but this topic is about Europe

Last time I visited Colombia, the military presence was enormous everywhere you went, that was 2000.

I love Europe for millions of reasons (at least). Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. The joie de vivre in France and Italy especially is very real. Plus Europe has a far longer history and Renaissance art and amazing palaces and castles and manor houses to explore. And the food in the lowliest cafe is always great. (Don't know why their fruits and vegetables are tastier than ours, but they are).
And let's not forget the Alps. The first time I saw them I had taken an overnight train from I can't remember where and when I woke in the morning and saw those gigantic, pristeen mountains in those incredible colors, their beauty knocked me out.
I don't think Europeans are as driven as Americans either. I can't imagine them "networking". They seem more open to enjoyment, more relaxed - of course it could be all the wine they swill. And what great wine it is. -
Because I served 30 months in the Army there from age 17 to 20. Years '56 - '58. Weekends in Germany, base town of Kaiserslatern. 30-days leave a year traveling France and Italy. Feel in love with Paris. Took 4 leaves there during my tour. Seeing a magic world - unbelievably removed from my growing up small Ozark mountains town.-
Rivy who did you feel in Paris? did she feel the love too?

My coworker is from Europe. He is always talking about how great it is. So we ask him why he lives in the States than, and soon, the greatness of Europe loses its appeal with each excuse he gives. -
cuz of EURO -
Apart from the indigenous population, Australia is totally a migrant nation. After Israel, Australia has by far and away the biggest proportion of people born overseas, or born in Australia to foreign parents. Families came from Britain, Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Malta, Russia, Netherlands (and more recently from India, Vietnam etc).
Our population was 7 million in 1950 - today it is 22 million. Most of the growth could be attributed to European (and more recently Asian) migration.
Going to Europe is like going home - catching up with all the cousins, eating familiar food, seeing cities that were important to our parents, grandparents and great grandparents. After 5 years in Europe (way back in the early 1970s), I would never like to struggle through a winter there again. But I do want to spend every spare penny I have, holidaying and touring in the European summer. -
What winters?
One attraction is being able to cross a border in little time and put your languages to use. -
I lived in Greece for a year about 27 years ago, I loved it. Siesta in the afternoon, the food, cool lifestyle , the food, .. a lot of travellers and tourists though... and the food's good
Copenhagen is my fave city in Europe, beautiful people inside and out-
I can't remember what I did 27 minutes ago.
