I've been here for about 10 days and have already visited 3 countries including the UK, Ireland and France. My itinerary for the next few months includes Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Italy, Greece, Malta, Southern France, Spain and Morocco.
Some things I have noticed thus far about Europe:
1) The roads are much smaller and windy.
2) In the U.K. I am convinced there is no speed limit
3) The people are very friendly and welcoming to Americans
4) There is much cultural diversity and a more accepting, cultured outlook on the world here than there is in America (im looking at you, Trump)
5) Brits love the American accent, before now I never thought I had an accent.
6) Pizza is a universal language
7) They eat more burgers and fries in Europe I feel more than we do in America
8) they pretty much have the same stuff over here we have in America, but there is more refined and higher quality. Example: A McDonald's burger here cost nearly the same as it does in America but it uses real meat, instead of the pink slime crap they feed us in the states. Also, the processed food is much better since they ban substitutes such as high fructose corn syrup.
9) It is impossible to find basic drip coffee, yet espresso is everywhere and anywhere
10) The Irish drink more than Buffalonians do, but that's a given.
That's all I got for now, but I'm sure I will add to the list as this trip progresses.
Throughout the coming weeks, I will be using this blog as a journal of sorts. I will most likely blog day to day. If I am too busy, i will blog about the specific country I'm in.
Thank you for reading and I can't wait to enjoy and share this journey with you!
