Europe (Continental) - September 2007

For instance I know Fance has free health care, but the taxes are high...does France have high property tax, high sales tax, or both?
What about Germany, Great Britain, Austria, etc.
If you only know about one country that is fine.
Thank you

Because I don't get it. I mean like Portugal is for Portuguese, Ohio is for Ohioan, and like Canada is just for weird people, so why is Portuguese spoken in like not Portugal?

I raised the question of torture in Greece and had a bizarre response which mostly criticised me, assuming I was Albanian. This is very strange. I am not Albanian, though of course I absolutely deplore the recent torture of Albanians that was broadcast on YOUTUBE.
Certainly, many of the alleged incidences of torture in Greece involve foreigners and often Albanians, but not all.
My question remains:
Is there any media coverage or news about the trials of those men accused over 3 years ago of torturing Afghans? Mexicans? Is there news of any progress in the case agaisnt the police for brutality agaisnt the Johnsons (beaten up in 2003), any compensation for the Planespotters (2002-3), any progress in investigations into brutality and the murder of gay people in Spices bar; any compensation for the false imnprisonment of truck-driver Wilson (2003); Joseph Okeke( electrocuted by the police in Pallini); progress in cvases agaisnt abuse of Greek Nationas protesting against conscription

Well I got a connection, so I'll be taking a train to Central Station and pass my time in Amsterdam. I'm planning on taking a one-hour canal tour. Besides walking around, any particular suggestions? Thanks! (Not interested in art museums and had been to Anne Frank before).

I am flying to Norway Friday 9/28 and have 15 nights holiday before I fly back to the US on Sunday 10/14. Since I have sort of planned this trip spur of the moment, I did not consider that Norway is so unbelievably expensive. I travel on a tight budget, usually staying in cheap hostels and these are not so cheap in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger where I will be visiting. Food is also expensive. So I am thinking of cutting the trip short in Norway and make my way to Germany- will my dollar go further there?

I've always found myself rather interested in politics, and I remember that as a child my father always encouraged me and my brothers to get involved (not necessarily to be members of a certain party, but to be as he said "active citizens"). Lots of young people though, consider that a waste of time. What do you think?
