    I've been railing twice now! Places to go are Budapest, lake Bled (slovenia), Munich, Krakow (GO THERE!!) and Rome!

    I'm off to Boston for 4 months to hang with plastic paddies who will tell me all about the troubles! Hurray! After that moving straight up north to Toronto for the year to study!

    Have you been to Serbia? The people I was talking to said that itwas very scary. People would just stare at them and shout stuff, they left after one night. Think it was Serbia anyway...or Montenegro....:confused:

    No, never been! Went to Croatia and passed through Bosnia. I would avoid Serbia at the moment. Europeans (western Europeans) may not be too liked after our support for the Kosovo split. Having said that, I have heard no bad things about Serbia at all from people I met traveling. Besides, there are plenty of other places to go if you're nervous about it!

    Also, Croatia is beautiful and the women are unreal! Seriously, the majority of them "a left nut" scenario....

    Go East. West Europe is both a waste of money and a waste of time. You can't see Rome in 2 days! And its expensive. Like staying in Austria was €20 a day for a dump where as staying in any Eastern country is easily half that. And the beer is like €1!!

    Go to Berlin though... great citeh...
