I wanna go all around Europe. /sigh :C I'm so jealous.

Yeah... you can definitely BE jealous . I want you to come to europe someday and then I make a guided tour throughout Europe for you... :D:D:D:D

Have you got the postcard yet? Anyway, it's not really expensive. The train ticket is 320â,¬ (about 350$) for 22 days, which is a really great offer. We really didn't want to get on this expensive ferry but it was the only one who brings us to Holland in time. (it's 50â,¬ per night which is not really much actually) We generally sleep at youth hostels or at friends' places so we save a lot of money too. I expect that I will spend about 1200â,¬ on this trip. My parents gave me 200â,¬ and I worked one month for my father (950â,¬)

I just today got your postcard from Brugge. I'm glad you're having a wonderful time!
Anyway, that's really cheap for a trip throughout Europe. My band is going to Europe in 2 summers from now, I think it'll be to London, Paris, Alsace(?), Venice, and Berlin. I'm looking forward to going ^^

[Ruto]

Wahhh I am so jealous XD

It still seems like a lot to me though. Maybe it's because the job I work at pays me about $7/hour before taxes -.- I can probably go once school's finished. Dunno how long that will take.

Yeah! But wtf is Alsace? xD Never heard of it. You should also come to Vienna! 5 hours from venice by train.

I think he's referring to Alsace-Lorraine, which is a territory in France (I think).  It's historically famous because the Prussians took the land from France the Franco-Prussian War and used the territory to trick Austria into declaring war against Prussia, which permitted Prussia to unify Germany.  France took back Alsace-Lorraine after WWI, but if I recall correctly, the Germans occupied it again in WWII, so I'm not sure whether it belongs to Germany or France, but considering that that the Allies won WWII, I would presume France.

EDIT: Actually, I lied.  I was getting Alsace-Lorraine confused with some other territory Prussia used I think.
Just researched it, Prussia used Schleswig-Holstein to instigate the Seven Weeks' War against Austria.

Actually, not Alsace, we're going to Lucerne. I get  those confused for some reason

Alsace and Lorraine are separate Regions... Alsace is the easternmost Region in France

Alsace and Lorraine were used as a battleground between Prussia/Germany and the Kingdom/Empire/Republic of France. I love Lorraine food since it blends German and French foods together (Quiche Lorraine) and I love the blend together. The Capital of Alsace is Strasbourg, which certainly isnt a French name.

I do too! I'll probably do this after I graduate from Grad School and before I go to work..

I am just going to rent a car, fly into Madrid and travel throughout France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the Low Countries! And then I will Fly out of Paris! I Probably would go to Poland and Lithuania at a separate time!
