Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I`m on a tour next tuesday. My first stop will be Madrid and I`ll stay there for 2 or 3 days, then  we`ll be going to Burdeos, Paris, Florence, Venice, Rome and at last (but not least) Barcelona!  :beer:  Any recommendations or any gunner who wants to meet me?  :hihi: :)

it's great! Unfortunately I work so I can't go to any "gunners meeting" but I hope you'll have a great time in Paris, it's a fantastic city, the weather is charming right now, 25 ?c. 8)

Seven simple rules to make your stay as pleasant as possible

1 - Eat at McDonald's only

2 - Order your coke with ice

3 - Wear a Sox baseball hat, an I Love New York t-shirt and a flag pin

4 - Wear your camera / video equipment openly visible so it will be more likely to be stolen

5 - Complain about everything, for example: the AC's not working, they stole my camera, nobody speaks English - - -

6 - Boil your water

7 - Try not to meet any Europeans

You're not coming to England? Damn, you're missing out on all the fun. You could come and feed pigeons.

In Rome I guarrantee something will be stolen from you if you go on the Metro

Madrid...great place to kick off. But I'd save it for last.

I don't know what kind of trip this is, if you are with friends or girlfriend (or maybe both). but Madrid is sure a "the place" if you are in the mood to enjoy the night life. Everything starts there at around 11pm, so that should give you an idea of when it does actually finish? :hihi: .There are many things to do there. I wouldn't visit any museums though, I don't have nothing against art, but I think it's pretty fucking stupid to waste a whole day if you are gonna stay just a few dates. You'll miss the action.-

Ok, make sure you have a nice walk thru "Gran V?a". This is one of the most beautiful streets in Madrid. Lots of things to do there. Also you could try "La puerta del Sol" and its surroundings (if you have time, go see La Plaza Mayor & Madrid de los Austrias) Then we have Castellana (pretty much Madrid's business area) and Serrano/Ortega Gasset (Madrid's "Rodeo Drive").?

Bars and restaurants are everywhere in Madrid. Very spread out though. Try the streets " Principe de Vergara", "Santa Engracia","Maria de Molina.." you should have your share of fun there.

If you are in for a more avant-garde, bohemian area, try "Chueca".

If you want to go to a more alternative sort of place, try "Malasa?a".- Plenty of bars there as well, mainly rock music. Younger audience though.

Food? Try "tapas". THey ae very small portions of food, order 3 or 4 so you can taste different dishes. Try " Callos a la madrile?a" , " ensaladilla rusa", "boquerones en vinagre" ," patatas bravas..." you will like them all.

Well, that's a plan right there. Don't waste your time going to museums. Really, you want to have a taste of the city. The only way of doing so is by going out. Talk to people...madrilians are nice? : ok:


I live in Marbella though, can't meet up. But have fun!

if you see my ex-, tell her shes a slut!!

 :hihi: Yeah, mine too! I live in England and she lives in Wales, and you're not coming to England, but ...er...tell her anyway!

i'm in paris and often bored, if you want to have a coffee  :yes:

Thank you all!! Specially Ignatius, that was fuckin awesome man!  :smoking: I?ll surely go to listen to some rock music there! :beer:
