    Really, I would get into Football if I was an American going to Europe. Most everyone is, and Football matches are great fun to play and to watch.
    Yeah, Armenia is the place to go! You heard it here first. Go Armenia! Even Irish Armenia!

    Personally, I'd say come to the UK and you can easily and cheaply travel to continental Europe if you wish. If you prefer the continent then go to the Netherlands, Germany, or Scandinavia. Don't go to France or any of the other 'Latin' countries unless you know the languages well. This especially applies to France because, beautiful country though it is, they will treat you as shit as an 'Anglo' and expect you to speak perfect French all the time.

    Go to Beautiful Bosnia. I hear you can't find cheaper Organ Harvestors or Prostitutes than the Lovely University of Sarajevo. Just be careful, if you get tangled up with the wrong girl, their family might point a gun to your head, force you to marry and send you packing on a jet back to the US.

    ...All Jokes Aside. Don't go to Bosnia.

    On a Side Note: Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia are fine. I'm still not quite sure how I got through the checkpoint in Dvor... but I'll never speak to my comrades I went in with again. Getting in was fine... but getting past the ONPROFOR back into Croatia was hell. At one point we we're determined to Hike Back into Croatia if we had to and ditch the vehicle. The only thing that saved us is that we were young, stupid, and didn't speak the Native Language. The French Officer at the security point was kind enough to let us back through, without any ID or Paperwork and told us kindly to never come back. You could just tell by looking into his eyes that he wanted to jump into the Car with us.

    If you ever do consider the former Yugoslavia, go to Slovenia. I'm not saying
    that just because I seemingly am the Slovenian Ministry for Tourism here, no.
    The language may cause you to lose your hair, your tongue, and possibly an
    eye, but it should be worth it.

    Being a native of Scotland, I would turn you away from coming here, but many
    people come here, and [suprisingly] like it.
    it's the **** that happens while you're waiting for moments that never come
