European Listerine is definitely stronger than the US version
Yup, that's right. Arctic Mint also has less of a "sweet" taste. I wasn't really surprised by this discovery, but it was interesting nonetheless. Also, the european version is only sold in smaller bottles, and they dont yell at you on the label to take it twice a day. Mouthwash isn't really "in" in Europe. Although I did see a tv commercial for it.
Most European girls seem too good for their boyfriends. This is probably due to a lack of cool guys in Europe. I feel bad for them.
There is nowhere to get a late night snack, unless you feel like eating bar food. Is it after 8:30PM? You're pretty much out of luck. You can look around all you want, but you aren't going to find an open store to buy food. If you're lucky, you know of a vending machine somewhere...
The Euro is a creative currency. There are one and two Euro coins, and they are used very often, because the smallest bill is a 5. If you're used to dollars, you aren't used to using coins that much. This is also very weird when you often get change from transactions only in coins. The Euro bills are also different sizes, and the 50 doesn't properly fit in my wallet (it's too tall). Not that I walk around with 50s...
However, there is one thing that I find highly unnecessary: the two cent coin. Really? What a waste. There are 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 cent coins.
My favorite is the 2 Euro coin.
You can have a completely decent meal at a highway rest stop. I'm thinking of doing a food segment on this later, but for the meantime it is worth noting that I love French rest stops. They are often very well thought out, with activities and games for kids.
Oh good, a nice place to rest for now, because I like cutting things up into unnecessarily short chunks. Also, I lose my train of thought, and can't focus
Now to find a nice picture....
