i just got back from a 2 week trip through france and spain. below are my outstanding observations.

1. european women are beautiful. i'm not talking blonde southern california w/ body from hell beautiful. i'm not talking porn star/stripper hot. i'm talking take this girl home to mom, wears hardly any makeup beautiful.
2. americans are fat. it's actually gross how fat we are. i'd venture to guess that the majority of fat people that i saw in europe are americans. and after landing at dfw on saturday and seeing the bloating, i'm shocked. we are FAT.
3. thank god for religion. in my mind, there's no way we could enjoy the many gothic churches in europe had it not been for the corrupt and manipulative clergy and pope system that dominated european life in gothic times. popes were rulers of the western world. they were more powerful than kings.
4. bra as an article of clothing. european women consider a bra as another piece of clothing. it's not something naughty that you hide from others. on the contrary, you wear nice bras and show them off by wearing lowwwwwwwww cut blouses or tanks. god bless em.
5. speaking of bras, they don't wear padded bras. THO was a common occurrence.
6. topless sunbathing is not overrated. i haven't seen that much breasts since my last girls gone wild video. front the river banks of the gardon river in provence to the beaches of barcelona. topless sunbathers delight.
7. the boob job has not caught on. i hardly saw any women w/ boob jobs. but i'm sure if i'd gone to eastern europe, i'd seen much more. it was refreshing actually.
8. french food rocks. i changed my last meal request to french bread, fromage, sausage and pate. simple but incredible.
9. i didn't have a single decent paella meal in barcelona. i was severely disappointed.
10. we need more farmers’ markets in the US. you get fresh ingredients and tasty inexpensive authentic food. most towns we visited had daily or weekly markets. my next trip to europe, breakfast and lunch will be exclusively be provided for by the european version of the farmer's markets.
11. european women are attractive. yes their being beautiful helps, a lot. but add in the "i'm comfortable in my own skin" attitude and it's manifestation in how they dress to the i speak 14 different languages. they are overwhelmingly attractive.
12. i will never complain about american drivers again. every street is a formula 1 race track and every driver is michael schumacher. surprisingly, they get into very little accidents. i guess you are a better driver when you expect people to cut you off every 2 seconds.
13. french unions suck. we almost were stuck in paris because of a strike from the airport security people. some union is always striking in paris. unions should now be outlawed. they jumped the shark about 20 years ago.
14. catalonians are teh suck. rudest people in europe.
15. barcelona is europes version of cancun. the only redeeming things in barcelona are gaudi, bra is article of clothing and topless beaches.
16. johnny depp is a smart man. south of france/provence is heaven on earth. if i had it to do over again, i'd marry a french girl and move to st remy.
 
I'd love to go over there just to drive some clapped out mini-car mano a mano against the natives. But one thing I was wondering, did you notice any women over there?

asians are thin people, thanks to genetics. it takes a lot of work for a asian to get fat.

more observations.

17. paris gets better every time i visit. this is my 3rd visit and i enjoy it more with every trip. yes the parisians can be rude, but i find that if you make at an attemp at french and greet them with madame or monsier, it's all good. they are still nicer than catalonians.

18. i don't see how mexicans in cancun can still stay nice to americans. the majority of visitors to barcelona were brits. i couldn't stand them by the end of the 4th day. americans treat cancun like the brits treat barcelona. maybe that's why the barelonians were so rude all the time...

19. america needs centuries of history. european history rocks. wars, greed and more wars. but like i said, if it wasn't for the fock the poor mentality, then we'd never have such great buildings and architecture to admire.

20. you need to travel. it makes you appreciate home, and home is the mother ******* united states of america. this may be our last century as world leader, but we're going to rape and pillage the world before we are done w/ our say. ok, this last piece has nothing to do w/ my observations on europe, but i'm glad i'm home.
 
While traveling in London, someone asked me where I was from and I said Texas. His response - "Is that the one that's bigger than France?"

I think I laughed for a couple of days.
 
Just spent 10 days in Toscana and I was shocked how American the British and Germans tourists looked. Heavier than I expected when all you here about is how fat we are.

Some Italian woman hot; others not so much. All were very polite and loved Americans and HATED the French.
 
I have been to Europe many times and the thing that always strikes me is that so much of their news, politics, etc. revolves around the U.S while we, in general, could care less about what goes on in Europe..
 
great ******* post Crash...bravo!

Very entertaining and interesting...and I spent almost a year in Europe...

Your comment about our fatness makes me think of that scene in Super Size Me where the French lady is amazed at the sizes of our sodas at McDonalds. She says something like the small here is the large over there.
 
part of it is our culture part of it is that europeans walk every damn where. that's why fat Americans stand out. Everyone on my summer trip to Italy had kick *** legs and lost weight, skinny or not beforehand, after the trip was over.

you're overrating the women. yeah, I saw some hot Italian girls. Saw some ugly snaggletooth dogs as well. And I didn't see that many hot middle aged or older women. Meaning, they go to hell at some point, no matter their young hotness. So thanks but no thanks, I'm sticking with American women.
 
Having lived in Granada, Spain for 2 years, Tarifa, Spain for 6 months, and then Madrid for another 2 years, I enjoy this thread immensely. I'd often walk to work, and look around to realize that the last three buildings I passed were 3 times older than our country itself. I made it a point never to take for granted, the opportunity to go into a church and just look around, or duck into a small pub full of old regulars off the beaten path. Traveling, be it in Europe, or anywhere is something everyone should do in my opinion. It will really open your eyes, it did mine. Oh, and traveling by yourself is the best way to roll. Just my 2 pesetas.

Good post. I wouldn't trade anything for being a Texan, but as a country, we are a bunch of fatasses. It's a shame, but it is a fact.
 
gobears,

I was in Italy for a summer (Rome, Florence, San Giaminiano, Pompei, other tiny villas). I saw virtually no hot older women. Hell, any women that didn't make my wee wee run and hide were rare. The best one I saw was in Rome.
 
Montag- I just said more so..I didnt imply the hordes of hot women ala LA, NY, SF, AUS etc...

Even in this country there are more truly beautiful women in rural areas. Something about urban living takes something away from them over time.
