8. Best Meals, Weird Things, Cool Things

Best meals:
Barcelona - Paella and Mediterranean Food
Paris - Cheese and Wine by the Eiffel Tour
Ploemeur - Home made food by the Baduel-Crispin chefs!
Germany - none! (well... there's the beer...)
Switzerland - Raclete!
UK - Beer.... and a lebanese restaurant had good food too

Weird things:
- people driving on the wrong side of the road in the UK (never know which way to look!)
- parking in paris (mr. bean's car makes so much more sense now)
- scottish accent
- french fries are not called french fries in France, they're just called "fries" (the french in the name is implied...!"
- french fries are the typical food of all countries in Europe
- there are no "non-smoking" areas in french restaurants
- people in london go to the pub and prefer to stay outside the bar in the streets even with free tables, as it's the only way they can enjoy the few days of sun they have
- unfortunately dressed (in birthday suits!) people in Munich's English gardens

Cool things:
- bike system in Barcelona: rent a bike all over the city, so practical!
- seeing a bunch of kindergarteners take the subway in paris - poor teachers!
- great restaurants at Trocadero plaza, with even a better view of the Eiffel tower
- meeting cousins Elliot & Margot for the first time
- Uncle Pierre's flan, u la la!
- Elliot finally catching his dad on the beach and bringing him to the ground
