Dreadful Nonsense

"I've read your blog. it's really funny. you should write a column." - Jon Ronson


Today I have been in Holland, then Belgium, now France. Basically today we did a brief summary of our entire trip in one day.

The things I have learned in the last week, in no particular order:

- Vegetarian food does not exist in Belgium or Holland
- Computer keyboards in France have all the letters in the wrong place (so this is taking me a ridiculous time to type)
- Concert crowds in Belgium do not dance or show emotion during music gigs and seem surprised when other people do
- Concert crowds in Holland are well up for it
- Roadies can be nice and nasty in equal measures
- People in France and Belgium stare at you for no good reason ALL OF THE TIME
- Everyone in Holland speaks English
- I like goats cheese
- I can understand far more French than I give myself credit for
- The Guardian produce a European edition daily for easy access to war propoganda
- I quite like travelling, but I do not like train stations
- People on the Metro in Paris would rather see you die than help you with luggage
- Buskers on the Paris Metro bring their own sound systems, including backing track and microphones
- The Mona Lisa is quite boring
- I am very tired
