literally everyone hates morocco

Lisbon is supposed to be really boring. i have noticed that american tourists always insist on going to edinburgh and ireland for some reason.

 

[shakahislop]

go up into the pyrenees

 

[yyaldrin]

you could get an interrail pass and just go to all the places mentioned here

Seville: king of the hot cities, 38 degrees when I went (this was October too), v cool African/European fusion, some really good art and churches etc, and a lot of good food if you know where to look, lots of cafes where you can sit in the street sipping beer and reading a brick like Beckett biography 10/10

 

[shakahislop]

go to istanbul instead of paris

 

[luka]

whatever you do dont go to spain and dont go to berlin. that would be my most urgent advice.

 

[shakahislop]

get a flight from any of the above and go to jerusalem old city. it's half an hour drive from tel aviv.

 

[luka]

go to istanbul instead of paris

theyll just try and sell you a carpet or something

 

[yyaldrin]

and don't come in winter, or if yuo come in winter only go to the most southern points of europe, palermo, sevilla, cyprus maybe

Berlin: I'm noticing a theme here it was Horrendously Hot and we had to lie in a park, there are lots of parks, there are lots of clubs but they make you queue for ages and then won't let you in unless you're a graphic designer, didn't even get to explore the museums, there's a lake there where six pack clad lads cavort for the madchen, didn't like it here as much but 10/10 for effort

corpseys been on too many holidays. its grotesque.

 

[Corpsey]

I'm one of the least well travelled people I know as it happens

 

[yyaldrin]

do you always travel alone or with the lads?

 

[Corpsey]

I suppose there's a whole genre of psychogeographic travel journalism where the journey deliberately visits the Spanish equivalent of Ipswich

just shows the sort of gilded circles you move in. grotesque.

 

[shakahislop]

obviously you'll be coming to oxfordshire, in which case go to wantage, go to wallingford, go to berinsfield. don't go to bicester or anywhere in the cotswolds

 

[Corpsey]

And goes a step farther by pretending its better than Madrid?

 

[luka]

i think that's owen haterleys career (oliver craners bete noir)

 

[shakahislop]

try to talk to people in henley on thames and see what happens. try to tattoo them
