2. Frites! And real Belgian waffles from a street vendor on the plaza.
3. My old house, the park, and the pubs.

1) 'Stralia, Sweden and Japan

2) I have a rule where I always eat the strangest, most vile foods on a menu when on vacation. That's led to me eating Alligator, Rattlesnake, testicles of various sorts etc etc. So... whatever falls under that category I'll eat.

3) Ayers Rock.

4) USAir... or perhaps just United

5) I only speak sort of fluent German - so no..
 
1. You have the summer and plenty of money to travel abroad. Where all would you go?

Italy, Russia, Germany, Sweden, England, and Japan...maybe Spain and France too

2. What foods would you be sure you got to eat?

I would wait until I got there and just try whatever. I'm not schooled enough in foreign cuisine (actual foreign cuisine...not just what we get here in the states that is labeled as being from X country)

3. What landmarks would you be sure you got to see?

I'd hit up all the obvious ones. I'd be most interested in the stuff in Italy and Red Square. I've also heard that there are still amazing gypsy jazz clubs in France that I'd want to see

4. What airline would you use?

I dunno, I've never traveled abroad and don't know much about which airlines do that and how their service is

5. Would your knowledge of other languages influence where you went? (i.e. would you be more likely to go to France if you spoke French)

No

3. I guess the Great Wall isn't very far off. I'd probably go see that.
4. Doesn't really matter.
5. Nope. But I'd probably try and learn the language a bit before traveling.

Whatever is indigenous to the region or something the country is famous for.

In Europe the museums for sure, and I'd love to see the ruins in Egypt.

The cheapest one. I'm not really picky.

1 - Australia, New Zealand (home of the All Blacks yay!!), Samoa, Fiji, Tonga etc... get some rugby games in!

2 - I'd have a go on whatever the locals are into.. within reason... no point going to another country and going to a McDonalds... not that I'd eat that shit anyway...

3 - Surfer's Paradise (is that a landmark?.. probs not..)

4 - Not bothered as long as it gets me there in one piece along with my unrifled luggage

5 - Not really, but I'd like to learn Greek, I think. I've been to the Greek Islands a lot and Greek is a really great-sounding language, as is Italian

5. I'm trying to keep up with my Italian, so it would be good practice. I'm alright with my Spanish, but it would be an experience to communicate with those using the Spanish dialect.

there's a story there harris. spill it.
I'm late, but I'll tell the story.

So me and my friends were hanging out at my house, and we get a call from our friend who lives right on the border of a relatively sketchy part of Queens and my county. I was too high to drive, so I let my friend drive, and I thought we would be out for only 10 minutes or so, so I didn't bring my wallet with my ID or anything.
So we pick up my friend, and less than a minute after pulling away from his house, we get pulled over by a packed squad car and a van with eight officers in it. They all jump out and surround the car, and when we rolled down the windows, they told us they thought our seatbelts were off. (They were on, by the way.) So when they saw that our seatbelts were on, they asked us to step out of the car. I was sleeping in the front seat, and I was still half asleep when I stepped out of the car. I fidgeted a bit because I didn't know what was going on, so they handcuffed me. When I tried to explain why I didn't have identification, they put me in the van.
While I was in the van, they found a roach clip buried all the way in the bottom of the seat cushions of the backseat, and my friends were brought over also.
They drove us to the station in Jamaica (Queens) and locked us up until 3 in the morning. It sucked.
