If only every 14 year old kid from the states would visit Europe, eh?

Yeh, tough seeing Buzzcocks these days. I'm all for old punks marching on (ahem), but tough for that unit to go on without Shelley....

It was one of those moments where I looked around and thought, Man all these people are really old (except me of course)!

Sounds like a killer trip so far! Not to go too far off into the weeds, but I think every high schooler should do a trip similar to yours at least once--even if it's just a domestic one. There are a bazillion life lessons in there. Thanks also for getting the Infant Sanchos on my radar, and the BR clip ripped.

Safe travels! I'm looking forward to the next update from the road.

Thanks, Kevin! And I couldn't agree more. Jay Bentley always says the best thing a young person can do is get a passport and see the world outside your frame of reference. It doesn't matter where, just go. Of course, not everyone can do this. But there are times and places where travel is/was forbidden, which is something the average American will never understand if they don't learn to look beyond what's familiar to them.

Really enjoyed reading this. I’m always surprised at how Modern English actually sound as compared to their pop hit anomaly. If I haven’t recommended you hit Massolit in Krakow, I am now
