Boris:
"Historical sites to visit.
Cultural locations (museums/opera/symphonies)
Beautiful/interesting terrain/architecture
Good nightlife (clubs)
Friendly, helpful people."
Thank heavens for point 4. Otherwise I would have had to suggest you come to Mozart City.
"Food is also an issue. As a mostly-vegetarian, I may have problems in Germany, I think..."
You'll get along on Sauerkraut.
As for anti-americanism, most people in europe are able to tell the difference between the government and individual americans. If you want to be sure, wear a "Bush is a freak" sticker.
Dino:
Thanx for displaying yet again the power and idiocy of rightwing propaganda. It turned out that the blood patterns didn't match his story, and that he had a lot of family and job problems. He admitted to having shot himself and cooked up the story.
Of course, you didn't hear that on FOX news, did you?“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

Boris, I wouldn't worry about it. I'd be more worried why some people think this can be an issue.
But really, don't believe 'Americans can be targetted for being Americans' in many places. Sure maybe in some ME countries, but certainly not in Europe. You can always run into jerks, even some jerks who thinks that way. But chances are so slim to none.. Chances you getting in to trouble for being American are the same as me getting in to trouble being a Finn.. really. Also Berlin is a nice town, at least I had a great time. If you're into eletronic music, it's the place to be.
Also, I'd be more scared in NY than in Berlin.. or any other US city, because they are more violent. But I can assure you, that you don't have to worry about it. Just don't act like a jerk. Golden rule is, don't engage into political discussions in foreign countries, and don't insult local people.. but that goes everywhere. Don't worry, have fun!In da butt.

I'd like to also point out, that people who voice against US policy have pretty much nothing against American people. They separate gov and the people. I have never met a person in real life who are against American people. But I have met many people who are against its foreign policy. And you don't have to march everywhere yelling 'I'm an American and damn proud of it!'
I have been attacked by racists buttholes in Finland by the way.. when you go outside Helsinki, people hate you for being outsider. They just hate everyone who they don't know, and thats a lot because they know only 19 people..

Yeah, it's medias fault.. I think it's about the same if I come into the US (next week yay!), I think I'm not going to be targetted for being European. Same goes both ways. Even if I was from France, I don't think I would be in danger because of that.
Of course I can't say for 100% that it won't happen, as I can't say that for Boris either.. but it's about 99.999999%.In da butt.

In the US people tend to associate you with the views of your government. My Brother lives in US and is treated very well(except by irish Americans) because the UK is supporting the US. It doesn't matter that my Brother would be hard pushed to find Iraq on the map.Originally posted by Pekka

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

Well it doesn't apply so much in here. Anyway, who is going to know if you are visiting the place? I still don't believe I'd be treated any differently when I once again visit the US because I'm European. Nope, I will not. For one reason, I agree with the US in many things, and second of all, that is just pure racism if I get treated like crap. So, chances for it is IF I happen to bump into some racist people. I'm telling you, I'm completely safe in there, and so is Boris in here too. Some people might disagree with some views, but it was about safety, so as far it is about that, there's no problems. I'm not expecting lynching mobs running after me 'you dirty European'.In da butt.
