With the US State Department issuing a “travel advisory” for Europe...

The above is a link for any Americans traveling to Europe, and how they can best be safe. Some of these steps are a little...er, "biased" such as Number 8: "Don't look American." Yes, I know you shouldn't be doing the obvious like wearing the American flag, eating apple pie, and chanting the name of your sports team, but really now, I dunno if American tourists stand out too much. Maybe our accents, and maybe we say "color" rather than "colour" but really now.

Some of the rules are actually decent, like "Avoid Embassies or glamorous hotels," and then there are some that just make me shake my head.



That's just me complaining about life. Europe is awesome and stuff, and visiting there would be cool, but for now, I'll just relax in my humble abode here in Washington.



And now here's a bluegrass cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets"

  6. Why would you need to disguise your American-ness in Europe? Odd.

    Funny though. I'm also surprised that a website called "Christian Science Monitor" isn't a joke or an empty domain.

  16. I've been told by Canadians that I look American no matter how hard I try.

    In any event, yeah! What use do we have for embassies in a foreign country anyway? XD
