need help w/ "To do" list

[modestmike]

My friend and I are leaving in 2 weeks for europe. We are going to traveling in Germany, holland, spain, italy, france, hungry, sweden, and even slovenia. To make our trip more interesting, i thought it would be cool to compile a list of unusual things to get accomplished while in europe. To give you an idea of what i mean, some items on the "to do" list are : a kiss from a nun, a picture with a prostitute (just a picture), drink a drink served from a coconut and a beer from Mc Donalds...ect i would really love some suggestions on things we could add to the list. The more the merrier.

Thanks!
Mikey

Some of those seem a bit random. To be honest, in my opinion you won't need to make your trip more interesting. Things like a kiss from a nun and a picture with a prostitute will be pretty difficult to get - nuns take a strict vow of celibacy, whilst I wouldn't want to deal with a pimp after taking a photo of one of his girls....

That said, you should take into account local customs, attitudes etc. What may be acceptable in the US may not be acceptable in a European country and vice versa. I really think you need to be careful with this kind of thing.

Sound advice from Muvver. Whilst we know what you're trying to achieve modestmike, I'd suggest you look at compiling a list that is less "frat-boy prank" in style and more attuned to specific places and idiosycracies in Europe - along the lines of a beer in McDonalds (something you can't get at home), so you're on the right track there. (Royale with Cheese anyone?)

Have a think about things like: the types of food you have heard of and would like to try, eg Bratwurst and Sauerkraut in a beer hall in Munich or a Lampredotto sandwich from the markets in Florence (careful, it's definitely a "local specialty"), or real goulash (not what we think it is) in Hungary; scenes from movies then track down where they were shot; why not download GFE Gary's picture and take him with you too?! pretravel.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=nontravel&action=display&n=1&thread=5332
Without being a wet blanket, you'll have just as much fun and are less likely to offend locals or end up in the dungeons of the Vatican!
