"Europe bashing
*French bashing (though I do like those)
German Bashing"
I actually like the French and I love Europe. I'm just not to found of their governments. Now the Germans, well I don't really like them much. Terrible Food.
I agree with you in that I like the French and I love Europe.
The French are fun to bash, though, they are so....snooty French. The Parisiens out-snoot the other French. It's fun to watch. They have FABULOUS food.
I jusr got back on a tour of Germany. I found them pathetically polite, not only to me, but to each other, amazingly honest, also very warm, extremely helpful and very friendly. No, I am neither a foxy young chick nor a wealthy tourist. I am a slightly overweight middle-aged woman wuth a modest credit card limit.
Their food isn't terrible, or you really went to bad restaurants. But, it certainly is uninspired. Even the English food isn't terrible anymore. I guess both countries have either gotten smart about their food or have hired Italian cooks.
Germany is, however, the dessert capital of the planet. Austria is only second because it's considerably smaller.
GeezLaweez, I outgrew my jeans within DAYS and I am NOT a big dessert eater. I was silly enough NOT to bring the jeans with the elastic waistband. Lol.
