Watched World War Z.
Pretty enjoyable...
Only if the lady besides me will not scream every 15 minutes.

Some old lady reported my car and gave me a $60 fine for "parking in a residential area" even though the entire road was filled with cars and mine was the only one to get a ticket.

Thanks you ****ing *****.

Only in the US, I think.

the kids just went down to Oak Harbour for a few days with Grandpa and Grandma. I gave them the shopping list of junk food that can only be bought in the States:

Nutter Butter (cookies)

FlipSides (cracker on one side, pretzel on the other)

Kraft spray cheese (it says good source of calcium on the can :laugh:)

Sweet Maui Onion Rings (you can get the chips in Canada, but not the rings)

Bugles went missing for a few years in Canada but they're back... and better than ever!

I've never heard or seen of any of those things, except the cheese spray. :laugh: I'm not sure how true this is, but apparently the US doesn't have Ketchup chips?

Nope they don't.

Who needs ketchup when you've got these:

Another weird thing is they don't use white vinegar for anything other than a cleanser.... or maybe in a salad dressing... but never alone.

Ever had a sunomono salad with malt vinegar? Disgusting.

When ever my parents go on cruises they take those little packets of vinegar (that they steal from fast food places :laugh:)

Then there is the whole ice tea thing... they've finally caught up to the rest of the world and have what they call sweet tea, but ice tea to them is just unsweetened cold tea.

I got sick just imagining what those chips would taste like. The US sure seems to have the weirdest junk food...

I have no problems sending people the deliciousness that are nutter butters and flip sides provided they send me back proper corn pops (US kind is the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked), coffee crisps and crispy crunches.

:laugh: Too true.

We got those last time we were in Bellingham. Man were the kids disappointed.

Want some ketchup chips and white vinegar too?

Oh, also I believe you can't get Dorito's Zesty Cheese down there either. Best flavour of Dorito's

So more travel advice: second guessing if I want to do Krakow or not. It's just not that convenient by train going from Prague, and then leaving Krakow going to Budapest. I'm thinking if I'm going to do a night train maybe there's a different destination that might be worthwhile?

Some places I'm considering include Bucharest, Sofia, Istanbul, Athens, Kiev, or Zagreb. If I were to do Zagreb it would probably come after I do Budapest and Vienna, and just before I go to Rome. Or I can just keep Krakow. Thoughts?
