it always depends on which part of the country. I got nothing but meh for paris or the majority of england tbh but I think living in london or most of the french countryside would be a blast. I've been to spain and switzerland but I was very small and remember nothing.

I paid 9€ for a bottle of Kronenburg 1664 in Switzerland in what seemed like a pretty regular bar. No table service or anything.

How did you manage that? Switzerland is not in Eurozone.

he just kept putting his sad little bills on the counter until the bartender popped the cap off and handed him the beer

switzerland uses both francs and euros. all of our bar/restaurant bills had the totals in both.

Weird thing about this whole debate is that it sometimes seems to hang around the assumption that a relatively small livejournal community and a couple of blogs are somehow the alpha and omega of all modern day music writing.

I can understand not liking the sound of Gwen Stefani's voice but saying that Ashlee Simpson is a better singer really just shows that you don't quite grasp the concept of singing.

_why's personality and philosophies have a significant effect on the Ruby community, and also go a long way to forming the "public" impression of the Ruby community. If Wikipedia has an article about Ruby, it should have an article about _why.
