Who knew that the internet was good for more than home refinancing and genital enlargement? We’re going on a big trip and will probably come back poor but totally and completely pretenious. And isn’t that ultimately what really matters? We look forward to unfavorably comparing everything in America to Europe once we get back. “Oh, this Starbucks is shit compared to ______”.
Conversely, once we’re in Europe, Jake looks foward to unfavorably comparing everything to America. “You know, in America we put ice in our water. Dipshit.”

This is fun to read. Keep em coming when you can. No need to answer me – at least this time. This is just to let you know that I am following your trip and enjoying the writing.

How did I miss this section? I would say “In America, we have worked out how to eat dinner in a restaurant in under 5 hours and can actually go do something else with our evening.” Of course if those euros are canny, they could make a convincing quip about how watching Oprah isn’t really much better than stabbing yourself in the eye, and wouldn’t we really rather have spent that time sipping good wine in a restaurant? Heh. Anyway back to work.
