Now, I know this will be precieved by some as either being arrogant or ignorant but here it goes.

I have some bad things about Europe. It seems some people just assuming that Europe is just one massive "discotec." To people who do not go to Europe because of this preception I tell them that I have lived in Europe for 12 years either living and or working in 4 countries. I have been as far west as Spain through to Poland and let me tell you I have not been to 1 night club!

To people who are going to Europe with only the clubs in mind I say there is so much beauty both natural and man made in Europe. When you arrive in Germany, instead of going straight to a club, why not go to the Brandemburg gates or walk down Unter dem linde strasse? When in France why not go and see Paris? Walk down the river Seine, see Notre Dam and by all means check out the cool small downs especially in the north.

By all means, kick back have great beer and wine and of yeah sure go to some clubs if it floats your boat but if your in Ibiza do yourself a favour, take a friend and go to the other side of the island-the non club filled side. You never know you might be suprised.

I don't mean to sound like a jerk here. I just really like Europe and I feel that many people sell it short by not giving it, what I consider to be a fair shot.
