Things I Learned in Europe

  • People in Paris let their dogs poop on the sidewalks.
  • Lourdes is like Baguio City.
  • A Mini Cooper is actually a mid-size car.
  • If you want to order regular Coke, you have to say "normal Coke." All others are abnormal.
  • The French language is sexy.
  • So is the Italian language.
  • I think the Germans are mad at me.
  • The Handmaids are crazy... and I mean that in a good way.
  • The real Maria Von Trapp made a cameo in The Sound of Music.
  • Walking around Paris with a backpack containing your laptop, SLR, hard drive, cables, water, etc. is not good for your back.
  • 8-hour layover in Rome's airport = boring
  • Take Dramamine 30 minutes before riding a plane or train.
  • Condoms are sold at sidewalks to tourists.
  • When Filipinos in Vienna say something that sounds like "aso," they're not talking about a dog.
  • Before dining in a restaurant in Lourdes, learn French or Spanish first. Your English is useless there.
  • European chocolates taste much better.
