yech, for a real interrail experiance, it has to be eastran europe, the west just doesnt cut it....


on a finer note, romanian woman are some of the finest women i've ever encountered....

Apparently the best route is to start in Germany (to be awed by the quality of their trains) and then move on into eastern Europe for most of the trip, then back through Germany to France. That's if you have about 4 weeks though..

You really don't know what you'll be missing out on.

Also you do realise you'll be living in far more squalor if you travel the western countries? Your money goes much further in the ex-commy/balkan countries..
Take it from experience luv: a rank 15 bed mixed dorm with 3 snoring occupants in Vienna, now compare that to a large comfy apartment with a tv, kitchen, bath, view in Budapest.

Chick

ill take it into consideration...hows that

ApeXaviour

smells like placating bs

It's not something I minded much, not much one for the creature comforts. I was just attempting to appeal to chick d4ness (ie aversion to slumming).
But the above is true as I was travelling in a mixed gender group. So when we could afford better accomodation we took it, I wasn't complaining.

That's what dictionary.com is for.

Agent_smith and Apexaviour, how much did the inter-railing cost? How long did you do it for? Its something I'd love to do. I might be going to the world cup in germany in 2006 so I was thinking that would be a good time to do it. Just after the world cup.

Agent Smith

i spent abut 1500-2000, good holiday, so many memories, such as watching 2 girls tipping the velet in the hostel we stayed in in prague, while drink plenty of the green fairy


by the way, that stuff is rocket fuel!

Eastern Europe rocks, way better than the west. Chick you're wasting your trip if you go to France, I've been all over Europe, the further East the better. You can live like royalty for the same amount of money as a meal and a few drinks in Dublin

You forgot to say that they treat you better as well. You don't get the usual 'look' from waitresses in somewhere like prague that you would in dublin. You know the 'look' - the expression of constant distaste for everyone.
Yeah, the further east the better. We all know about france and the french (much to our detriment) - go further afield instead. If you see signposts for russia, you know you're on the right track.

Hey, I like the French, they rock! But yeah, eastern Europe is better, even from my brief experience of it.

Just thought itd be nice?

John

It is nice, don't get me wrong, I like France but you've your whole life to see France as it's probably not going to change much but the eastern countries will only be like this for so long. Already a lot of them are becoming more westernised. I just think you're missing out.

Agent Smith

in ten years time, the east and west will be the same,


go eastran europe

Chick

10yrs,,,,? what makes you say that

Chick wrote:

Their economies are improving a lot these days, they're becoming very poplular tourist destinations for westerners and a lot of eastern european countries joined the EU recently. They'll become richer and generally more westernised as a result.

Chick

oh crap, ok so

sleepingbeauty

im definitely gonna go interrailing this summer or the j1...my friends and i havent decided yet. but im thinking interrailing sounds better...ive been to the states, and all those eastern european places sound cool. tbh didnt really think of going to them, i was thinking france, germany, italy etc. but im def gonna mention it to my friends now!!

Agent Smith
