Europe (Continental) - September 2007

I watched a documentary recently about Norway. They showed a few 'Merry Christmas' posters condemning materialistic approach to the holiday. They showed a woman whose hands were tied with a pearl necklace behind her back and a few more interesting designs. Does anyone know any links to those posters? Apparently, there's some government office whose main aim is to promote sensible spending habits among Norwegians. Thanks a lot!

Ok - so I'm going to Krakow with 3 friends - late 30's, early forties. My friends husband has been ill lately and is not able to walk very far (virus has attacked his joints) so the question is - where is best for us to stay - old town square area or Jewish quarter. We plan to to quite a bit of sightseeing so which area has most to see. Also, where are the most (and best) bars and restaurants? If we stay in the old town area are we likely to be in the middle of rowdy stag parties etc or is it ok? Love to hear your experiences, thanks

As a nation we have if not one of the highest divorce rates in the world then the highest '' affair'' rate !Why is this?Do Greeks simply enjoy the pleasures in life more than others?Do we lack self control?Are women more promiscuouse than in the past?Is marriage not taken seriously?
Whats the problem?

Well, how about this: we had forgotten the Venizelos family! Apparently we have a come-back from that side too. Is anyone called Trikoupis, he would be a great next candidate for president of any of the big political parties!

I'm particularly interested in what the lifestyle is like for finance professionals.

From what I gather, Switzlerland is quiet, laid back, good money, low tax, clean, efficient trains! Is this an accurate assessment?

What is it like to live in Switzerland?

And specifically for those who work in finance - is it much more laidback than working in say New York or London?

I'll be traveling in Ireland and throughout western and southern europe in october, and would like to know what to expect the weather to be like so I can pack acordingly.

I've heard that italy is nice but somewhat rainy, but nobody I've talked to knows much about what ireland or the check republic is like that time of year.

I don't want to not take warm enough clothes but I also don't need to waste the space if I won't need them.

any advice would be great thanks.

For example: I love it when someone says, 'We eat a lot of tomatoes in THE TURKEY.' (i giggle) Or 'I FEEL MYSELF tired.' (again, giggling)
Also, tell us the funny mistake we foreigners make when speaking Turkish.

I am traveling to Athens in 2 weeks for 3 days of sight seeing. I have what looks like a great hotel located 5 minutes from Victoria Square, near the Victoria station at: 62 Filis Street, Athens 104 34, Greece

The location is not mentioned in guide books which instead recommend Syntagma Square and Plaka/ Monastiraki.

If someone who knows Athens can ofer an opinion as to whether Victoria Station is a suitable choice (we are young in healthy, so don't mind some walking).
