Title: Kalam in EU
Post by: Kalam on January 15, 2016, 02:03:50 pm
Or really just Germany, next month. Maybe Ireland (because ryanair flights are cheap), Poland, Hungary, and Lithuania or something. I don't really know.

Convince me I should visit other places! Tell me what towns I should visit, where your favorite doner is, etc. Cheaper is better.

I'm looking for food, beer, and hiking spots. In that order. Historical infrastructure is a nice small bonus. Okay, I'd also be willing go a little out of my way to grab a beer with one of you.

Bavaria is great for hiking. Austria as well. Spain is the most beautiful country in whole Europe. Switzerland is like heaven on Earth.

Really, anything that isn't too much on the east, or too poor like south Italy. I advice you to go to Netherlands, France, Great Britain (just don't try their regional food, who'd like to get poridge when you can taste normal food), Ireland is a good choice too, Spain and Portugal are good if you like spicy food, hot weather and beaches. If you're looking for hiking and beers/food, I'd advice Germany, France, Spain/Portugal, and the North of Great Britain.

If you are limited with your budget, check this site, and decide if it's worth or not to go somewhere (UK and Spain appear to be good deals).

Islands ain't in Europe. Continental or bust. Also way, way too many ugly, inbred people live on those islands. Probably the reason why chadz choose Ireland, he wants to be the most handsome fellow in British Commonwealth.

If you decide to go to Hungary for some weird reason, make sure you don't go to a restaurant on Váci utca, place is notorious for overcharging and tricking foreigners into paying more. Even with threats if they feel like it. Hell be careful in general, my fellow countrymen are like hyenas when they see a foreigner.

Spain always nice. Prague or Budapest if you looking for something slightly more eastern (cheap as well). Avoid Scandinavia if you're on a budget, but go to Norway or Sweden if you want good hiking (if you have the clothes for the weather).

Copenhagen might be an alternative for city sightseeing, close to Germany yet very different (awesome city in general).

Karneval in cologne.  get drunk and party with two million people in the streets and in every pub or club. 

feb.4th is weiberfastnacht,  the official day of the year where it is mandatory for every girl to become a total slut, but in a good way.

rosenmontag on the 8th is the second best day. 

inbetween those dates you can either visit the festivals at all the small villiges around or visit historical sites which are all over the place.

I highly recommend a hike through the siebengibirge
(click to show/hide)
and visit a bunch of ruins,  even from the siegfried saga and snow white,  castles,  wwII ruins like a V1 launching site, old chocolate chip cookie bunkers,  weird ruined mansions in magical forests. in the winter,  if you are lucky,  you might even find ice forrests.

pics of places you can all visit in a one day march in the siebengebirge:

(click to show/hide)

alternativley you are welcome to visit me in my new home,  bavaria. but only if you are into snow,  we just got a lot of that.  I live just around the courner of newschwanstein

(click to show/hide)

also, germany and austria have a great tradition of drunk skiing and partying,  so you are welcome to join me in that as well ^^

last but not least,  I highly recomend sothern spain as well.  fly to malaga,  rent a motorbike and travel east : )

If you are into medival castles and scenery go for a tour along the midle rhine (looks weird. the german name is Mittelrhein) It is a part of one of europes major rivers beautifully carved into the land. you find castles (ruins to undestructed&renovated )every few kilometers and it is home to some of europes best wineyards. So don't forget to get into one of the many winepubs.
Apart from that just go to spain. enjoy the sun,friendly people, and the awesome tappas you get with your beer.

Know nothing about Czech food tbh, probably some mix between German and southern Slav food (basically Turkish/Lebanese mix of dishes, tasty oriental stuff).

The Germans have good food? ahahahah SINCE WHEN? Unless you consider trans fat sausages as food


Kalam my friend, your destination should be Greece, and deep inside you know it.


Do you want food? We have the best of it

Mousaka, pastitsio, tzatziki, souvlaki, EVERYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES!

Do you want culture? Then come to Athens, the culture capital of the world!

We have more than 300 Museus you can visit, damn it!

Do you want archaic museums? Visit the Akropolis one or the Parthenon one!
Do you want medieval museum? Visit the Byzantine museum!
Visit sights from the most famous battles, Hotgates, Parthenon, Salamina the list is fucking endless!

Also, we have the best weather in europe! Everywhere is snowing/raining, and here in Greece we wear t shirts cause we have sun all day long!


Plus, the prizes are really down this time of the year!


And then if you arent satisfied with Athens, you can go to Istanbul Constantinople, to see even more Greek architecture, it's not like the Turks have built anything themselves  :lol:

Krakow in the winter is very cold, for southern visitors. We are just not used to it, it's not just the temperature. Temperature can be just as low in Belgrade but feels different. Nowhere near as harsh like in Krakow. Don't want to imagine how it is in Finland or Sankt Peterburg during winter.

Yeah. Its a pretty bad time of year to visit. Europe is not really at the top of its game during winter. As a person who favors solitude and thinks of architecture as nothing more than "meh", yeah, Austria, Switzerland or Norway. If it really has to be winter.

If you happen to visit (or simply go through) Brussels, try this place (no I'm not related in any way): https://fr.tripadvisor.be/Restaurant_Review-g188644-d3568277-Reviews-La_braise-Brussels.html

If you go through Belgium, try to find cuberdons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuberdon).


About food: I don't understand why would anybody recommend Germany. You have to search for hours before finding anything somewhat refined, and almost all the good restaurants are kind of boilerplate modern.

In Spain and France, avoid the Mediterranean coast. You need to know the locals if you want to find spots that are not full with tour operator cancer tourists. That said, Barcelona is a classic, and is well worth a visit (although it's hard to find decent Spanish food there). Brittany and the Northern Spanish coast are nice places to visit if you don't mind bad weather and if you like seafood (I recommend trying Galician octopus). Extremadura if you want a fucking desert. Madrid is pointless. Portugal for the best coffee of everywhere in the world (sorry, Italians).

Finally, I'm sorry Molly but Northern Germany is a shit place to visit. The only great thing there is the architecture. Copenhague on the other hand...

Europe this time of year! :D

I haven't been much around, but I really enjoyed being in Cadaques off season couple of years ago. Mind you these places are off season now, so you will have the place mostly to yourself. The whole area is beautiful.

Cadaques:
(click to show/hide)
Girona:
(click to show/hide)


Might be a bit cold there now, but so will the rest of Europe.
Temps right now in F:
(click to show/hide)

In the end It really depends what kind of journey you are looking for and what you expect. There is just so much to see. Every country has something to offer and you can't even cover 1 big city properly unless you have lots of time. :) Besides, the weather will probably be atrocious!

Since it's this time of year I suggest you do a southern trip along the mediterranean. It would be horrible and very expensive in the tourist season, but now it should be very relaxed, and cheaper. You get better weather (still chilly though) and there are lots of non-summery attractions and history to see too. Besides you can get a mediterranean narrative/history from it! :)

I suggest starting in Valencia or Barcelona, traveling by bus and train along the coast, into France and Marseille, Nice, Genoa, either Milan or Turin until you get to Rome. You can end there, and stay forever, but if you have lots of time and money, fly to Athens, and check out Istanbul as well.  Take a boat to Corsica or Sardinia.. Use the tripadvisor app aggressively when choosing restaurants and hotels!   You will have great food, museums, history, great nature, and not freeze your ass off in ice-cold rain and snow like the rest of Europe is right now. It's not fun to travel in such conditions.

Take a northern hike next time, in the summer!  Right now the European plain is just flat and rainy. If you love wintersports and snow, I guess the alps and northern countries can offer you extremely expensive skiing.. nice, but expensive as fuck.

(Then again, maybe I'm biased because I could really go somewhere warmer right now!)

Edit:
Read your first post again. Looks like you might be in for something cheaper than my proposed epic adventure! :D It would arguably supply the best food possible though. Well Eastern Europe is cheap! The only Polish cities worth visiting are in order: Wroclaw, Krakow, and maybe Warsaw, but I don't like Warsaw.. Vilnius is also a beautiful town. Skip Slovakia. Prague is great, so is Vienna, and I heard, Budapest. If you feel daring, and want the hardcore Eastern Europe, as in not nice, but hardcore: Maybe Minsk? :D  (And since you are in the area, Berlin is an awesome city. )

hmm looking at the map here:  Also.. the Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest axis is not bad. And perhaps more variation like that, in stead of scurrying around in a cold and dark Eastern Europe, or travelling along the mediterranean. Athens + Istanbul should also be good. Maybe mix in some Balkans.

That looks so delicious and Kalam will probably enjoy it. However, I can't eat that anymore. Came to that point in life where my body won't tolerate fat (from meat or milk, doesn't matter), spices, chocolate, white sugar, tasty stuff like that. After 25 years of eating tasty food, it said enough. Even if I ingest a little bit of that kind of food, severe nausea kicks in. Followed by a bad cough, feeling like crap for two hours after meals. Not sure yet what's wrong with me but since I've kicked out food my organs protest against, I feel a lot better.

So, any healthy German food you want to recommend? :D

So before this, I had no idea what to do because I had no idea where to find information without using Google Translate. Now...well, now I've got a lot of information to process. Whatever happens, I start in Rheinland and will be in Berlin on 20 Feb, if that helps with any suggestions. I'm going to go look at train tickets and then come back here with a proposed plan, if you guys don't mind.

In regards to food, I'll mostly be looking for street food and whatever locals eat with some regularity that isn't an international franchise, etc.

@Panos: I'm not opposed to a retsina. I didn't even consider Greece before, but I guess that's why I made this thread. Will see if I can fit it in.

@Heskey: Definitely considering Glasgow, at least.

@Thomek: Cadaques seems great. Transportation requires further research, though Poland and Prague seem more likely at the moment.

@Christo: Thanks for the warning!

@Jacko: Yeah, Scandinavia seems out of my budget.

@Torben: I may be there by the 8th. We'll see.

@BlackxBird: I'll probably visit Bavaria.

@Utrakil: Will consider the river and winepubs thing!

@Cassi: Czech looks like it's getting higher on my list.

@Kafein: Will do if I find myself in Belgium.





Title: Re: Kalam in EU
Post by: Thomek on January 16, 2016, 02:07:05 am
Ok so if you will start in Berlin, you can either go south or east.  :)  Do you know for how many weeks you plan to travel?

I'd say the south route have more to offer:

Berlin Epic city
(Wroclaw?) Epic city
Prague Epic city
(Brno?) ??
Vienna Epic city
Budapest Supposedly nice.  (Touristic, so should be able to find cheap flights to most destinations.. Check though)

East is:
Berlin Epic city
Wroclaw Epic city
(Lodz! Kurwa come visit me, but only after 23 of February, got exam! ;D)
Warsaw Blargh, but theres nowhere else to stop.
Vilnius Very beautiful, cheap small city. (I suggest you might want to catch a cheap flight from here to somewhere else. Maybe to Barcelona or smth? Then bus (or expensive supertrains) north, through France and Paris and I guess you might return from Netherlands.)
MINSK The horror! Might be expensive to get out of it, might need Belorussian visa, idk. But you will get to experience the hardcore eastern europe. Don't flaunt your american-ness!

Don't go to Minsk. That's still old commie country with dictator who's ruling for over 20 years. It's like what Yugoslavia used to be under Milosevic. It is the last Soviet country.

Also you need to know that bigger European cities are too big for quick tours. For example, you need at least few weeks of outdoor activity to see everything Vienna has to offer. I was there for 10 days, free as a bird and barely scratched the surfrace.

They don't give a fuck. Ton of Chinese people living in big western cities, millions of Chinese tourists visiting those cities throughout the year. Another thing, people who live in big European cities tend to mind their own business to the point where you can walk naked and no one would look in your direction.

Prague, Vienna, Budapest, can't go wrong with either, and will probably give you most value as far as sightseeing goes (plenty of good beer and food to be had in all of them).

As for hiking.. what kind of hiking are you looking for?

I think you should decide if you want to make a beer/food/city/historic sights trip or a hiking trip.

For the first part I'd say the nicest city is Prague and/or Istanbul (at least for me)
Prague has cheap and extremely good beer/food atop of that, Istanbul has different cultural experience (I'm not sure how is the situation there now with all the refugees etc. though).

For hiking just save up time and go to Nepal, its extremely cheap, the only thing you need is to get a reasonably priced flight ticket. 14 days there is cheaper and better than 14 days on vacation in lets say France, but you should definitely go for longer time. Its once in a lifetime experience (unless you go there multiple times of course ^^)

Post by: ecorcheur_brokar on January 16, 2016, 07:46:31 pm
From all the cities I've visted I would most recommend Prague and most of my friends say the same. Those of my friends who favour another city usually favour Berlin but they say you have to know someone there if you really want to enjoy it.

Everything in Czech is cheap, beer, food, party. And everything is good, beer is good, people are cool, city is beautifull, girls are beautifull and food is good.

Know nothing about Czech food tbh, probably some mix between German and southern Slav food (basically Turkish/Lebanese mix of dishes, tasty oriental stuff).
In Prague at least it's mostly similar to german but with some more spice. Lots of meat. But not really comparable to turkish, balkanik food.

My experience with cities in Germany and England are very variable sometimes lots of fun sometimes boring. And for southern Europe and France, I don't think it's the right season to come, you could enjoy it way more another time in summer.

Why she wasn't arrested for "indecent excess" (if that's the correct term)?

Fake tits. Seems to me like typical case of exhibitionist who found a way to get naked in public without being persecuted. You can call it art or protesting, if you like.

Stupid fucking symbolic protest. Only reason she isn't being raped by assholes as she stands there being filmed is because of men protecting her. Pointless except for self-promotion. If anything this would only enrage and encourage the people it's supposed to convince. "You should respect western women and values, here I'll get naked in public, in broad daylight with cameras on me and probably police right around the corner" So brave. I'm sure those muslims totally learned their lesson and respect western women and values much more now.
She should've just gone the route of most other western feminists, blaming the outrage over the Koln 500+ sexual assaults and rapes (and Stuttgart, Hamburg, etc, people always seem to forget this happened in multiple german cities, for some reason) on white supremacy and racism and the inherent rape culture that our awful western capitalist patriarchies perpetuate.

oberyn,  where does all that hate come from :'D

Actually its just the thing, she can do it because our culture, society and constitutional state protects her as a person and her form of expression.

showing off those beautiful titties is a celebration of what we are and what we cherish. fuck yeah!

So after a lot of deliberation and some delays, I'm probably going to Germany. Starting around Kaiserlautern, heading to Berlin, then Bremen. I might go to Prague depending on ticket prices, from Berlin. Cut down 'Food, Beer, and Hiking' to 'Food, with some Beer'.

Alternatively, I might randomly end up in Italy or Turkey, at which point I'll be really lost.
