Christchurch New Zealand and the gateway to Lord of the Rings
Krakov Poland is getting better also.
Not too many popular stops in india, Thailand, Vietnam, China, or Japan.....
The French are too smug.
Surprised Barcelona Spain did not show up more.
What is your favorite destination in Africa? Cairo, Egypt?

Oh, snap.
How about Cadiz, in Spain?
Nice, older city, but still cheap because the tourists haven't beat it to death. Went there last Thanksgiving and stayed in an ocean-side resort for $100 a day, all inclusive, except for alcohol, and had wine or beer with every meal. My bar bill at the end of the week, drinking local beer and wine? $47. Total.
Plus, beaches are all public access, all the time. You can literally run for miles and miles without obstruction.

I was never really impressed with Helsinki. I lived in Turku, Finland for 6 months and made it to Helsinki a number of times, but I guess I never saw what was so great about it. And it helped that Stockholm was just a 10 hour booze cruise across the gulf from Turku - getting there was half the fun!
As far as Copenhagen - I spent 30 hours in an airport there after my flight was canceled and I never got to actually see the city! I would like to go back (just not to the airport... :wink
St. Petersburg is really cool - I went with some native Russians and not a tour group, so it was especially nice. I want to go to Moscow someday.
I would also add Reykjavik (and Iceland as a whole) to my list - that city is simply stunning!
Easy, Constantinople (it'll never be Istanbul to me, I don't recognize the Turkish Government after what happened in 2002).
Euro bottles of wine baby
(literally, 1 Euro)When I was in Spain my roommate and I went on like a month long strech where we split a bottle of wine every night for dinner (Our host mom accused us of being drunks because of it...)
Most nights we just got 1-2 Euro bottles... towards the end I splurged on a 6 Euro bottle.
It wasn't crappy wine either, it was pretty decent...
Be fair, they adjust to their local surrounds, I mean in Germany they have McBeers.
I hope it's better than the crappy beer they sold in Spain
My roommate got one and he couldn't even finish it. I think I finished mine but it was nasty
On a side note... one of the MdD's had a walk up window, thought that was pretty cool

I seem to recall sampling a friends and recalled it tasting like Becks, so just your German eqivilent to Budweiser.

Oh, yeah!!!! My local grocer carries all the Euro brands that are one Euro. I have Spanish, Italian, Slovenian, Croatian and German wines from time to time, and just love spending EUR 6 on a case....
And, hey, my wife thinks its good for me:yes: so she encourages my "habit."
The idea of mayo on fries freaked me out at first, but after living in spain for an extended period of time, mayo on fries really grew on me and now I love it.
