Anyone ever been to Europe

[TheBigGuy]

and yes, a military PCS to the Land of the Square Doorknobs counts.

A layover in an airport on the way to somewhere else doesnt.

[Kellanved]

1. Does living there count?

[boilerbabe]

6. I f I were you, I would stay right where you are, this country is a mess

I have been thinking seriously about moving to maybe Germany if there are job opportunities there...
XXXOOO

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I spent time is Russia, when it was still the U.S.S.R.

Right now that's looking really good to me.

2. I was born and raised in Europe and I also live there -can I vote?

:D

[brook]

3. Most assuredly.

Went to Europe to inform my husband I was divorcing him because he claimed he couldn't hear me on the telephone.( You have to know that I had moved from California to New York to be closer to him because he was in Europe). For a long time after that, we all kept track of who was married or kaput - when and with whom - by what country was hosting the Winter Olympics. Now we're all too old to care. Thank God.

5. that's a trip!

I just go there whenever I can, whether I can afford it or not!!
Germany, France, Spain, HOlland, England, Switzerland so far.

Check out International Living's website, though I fear they may be a capitalist tool...

8. Sounds like you've had some good times.

Gonna check out that website...I would love to go back and do my own thing. I can joke now - but that other trip was really a PITA. I mean, you're supposed to be in love in Paris...and there I was - plumb outta everything! :)

10. Last time I was there was '99

me thinks it's time to go again!

[kathee]

11. I miss it!

I spent most of the eighties in Greece and Germany. When I got back, I remember wondering what "Where's the Beef" and Spud Mackenzie were. Totally missed it.

Id have to say I liked Greece the most. My son was born there, and I named my daughter after my Greek Landlady. It was cheap, fun, and WOW what a view we had! Behind us was a small mountain with a little church on top where everyone would walk up to it at Easter. In front was the Med. Sea. Lemons were grabbing-distance from our second floor balcony. We were invited to all "name-days", downstairs with the landlord. Loved it, miss it, wanna go back!

18. My parents tell great stories about Greece.

The little house we lived in had all marble floors, a big fig tree in the back. It sounds so lovely.

Hmmm...I can get my Greek passport back, if I want. But, I can't live there - they'll draft me into the Army! :scared:

[ProudGerman]

12. Spent 5 years in Germany

The beginning of the last year I was there, the wall came down. One of the few advantages of being an Army brat.

I went all over Germany, and only crossed over in to Austria once I believe. I miss it more with each passing year, I simply have to go back one day.

[protect freedom impeach bush now]

14. Lived, worked and went to University there.

I recommend it highly.

[supernova]

15. Eastern and Central Europe

Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, both Germanys before unification.

Lovely. I must go back.

[cmf]

16. Been to Asia and South America...

But never been to Europe. Go figure.

[GOPisEvil]

17. I was born there.

Born and lived in Athens until I was 2.
Then we lived in Fulda, West (at the time) Germany until I was 4.

Don't remember much about it. :-(

I need to go back. Someday, when I've got more disposable income. I might never come back though! :D

[geniph]

19. Never been able to afford it

Hell, I'm lucky I've ever been over the U.S. border at all...and that's only to go to Vancouver and Victoria in BC, and once to Banff in Alberta. The only place in Mexico I've been is Tijuana, which I'm told doesn't count.

[BonjourUSA]

20. I was born in Paris and I live in the south of France, on Med. side

:toast:

[supernova]

21. Oh, rub it in why don't you!

:P :D

You are lucky, BonjourUSA! Maybe on my next trip I'll get to France!

[BonjourUSA]

23. You'll be welcomed

Go in Paris some days and visit other places. It's more beautiful

[Maine Mary]

22. Does a 3 hour layover in Brussels, Belgium count?

After all, I did step outside of the airport just to say I was there. :eyes: But other then that, no. Just flew over.

Someday, I'd love to visit.

[bikebloke]

24. My heart is in Europe

Been there several times. My attitudes seem to mesh right in. If I could've found a legal way to stay, I'd be there now. Perhaps I shouldn't have been too wise, veering away from paper marriages for residency.

[BonjourUSA]

27. It's not very difficult for an american to get "legal way to stay"

:-)

[Kellanved]

28. exactly

Far easier than the other way round.

[Aristus]

25. I had the time of my life over there and can't wait to go back.

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, The Republic of Ireland, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, East Germany before the reunification, Italy. Man, I loved it there. The owner of the ice cream shop in the town in Germany near where I was stationed was Italian. Wonderful person. I miss all the friends I made there.

[JanMichael]

26. I lived in Krakow, PL for half of the 90's.

Travelled around the rest of Europe quite a bit too.

[MaineDem]

29. Many times

Starting in 1969. (I'm old.)

In fact, I was in Europe in '69 for some big news stories. The moon landing, Ted Kennedy and Chappaquidick, the Manson murders, Woodstock :-( .

[BonjourUSA]

30. For the best and the worst !
