Europe (Continental) - December 2006

I know Jay Leno loves to show stereotypical Americans for laughs. But I can barely get three words out when I'm in Europe, before people start speaking slowly and addressing me with the tone one would with a child.

Are stereotypes that powerful? All you have to do is watch UK Big Brother, to know there are ignorant people in every nation. Can you get to know Americans as individuals before the assumptions take hold?

What European country would suit me.

A country with few smokers

A country where people drink alcohol without getting drunk or violent

A country where people are friendly

A country with strong sentances for killers, rape, making fake money etc

A country where people respect the law

A country where people respect other religions and don't insult other peoples beliefs

A country where woman are not cheap or easy

A country where men are not streotyped as being hard and violent

A country where men are laid back and have a laugh without woring about there image

I know thats proberly asking a lot but does anybody know a european country where it is 70 -80% like that most of the time.

Did u see the news? Modern Education Lecture..Did u see the bigoted religious people who made the women and men seperate to sit and started a campaign for canceling İstiklal Marşı and And in the schools! I couldn't believe this..They crabed Kemalizm during the lecture and complained about Laiklik subject in religion lessons! How can it be? My eyes were really full of tears because of my anger to them..

What do you think of this? Comments please..

I have a friend who is travelling to Western Europe for her first time. I am not sure what holiday gifts to give in order to "enhance" her trip. She will be travelling by herself and she will be on a Contiki Tour. She will be there from mid-December to early January. I think she will likely visit the UK, France, etc.

What gift idea do you have? Thank you!

Soon I will be going to the Netherlands and I will be arriving in the amsterdam airport. It's my first time flying out of the country and I am just wondering what I have to do when I get there? I mean, they don't randomly strip search people right? What kinds of questions do they ask and do I have to fill out forms of some sort? (ps: Going to visit a friend... not for the drugs ;) )
