it's nice but samey. great hospitality generally but also some real ****s out there with the religious nuttery.

Driving just under 3500km in 3 days gave me a newfound respect for distances too. shame half of my pics didn't work out because I got reflections back from the car window but doing 120km/h in places and winding the window down wasn't a good idea, as I found out the time I tried to sneeze out of there

Your camera doesn't know how fast you're driving. Air is clear. Learn to work your camera settings, Ian.

I can help you with this if you want

it's the aerodynamic changes that it makes to the car & the fact that it blows all of our stuff everywhere, bearing in mind we were pretty much living out of it for 3 days, so many of the pictures had this look to them-


See the reflection. not cool Have it over loads of otherwise good shots.





And out here, we have what is known as the 'bugs' We'd clean our glass down every gas stop but they were intense in places, it was like hitting stones or something as they popped over everywhere and even after one or two, they kinda spoiled it for me.





just not quite what I'd hoped for

You shouldn't take photos while driving 120km/h.

I was the passenger Also we compacted what would've made a nice 5 days driving into 3 so had few stops other than the piss, get gas (or rid of) coffee/food and let the dog go too.

He wasn't the one driving, of course he should take photos

120km/h or otherwise though, you can take good pics if you know how to use your cam.

*punches you both in the balls*

Burst mode was my friend for a lot of it. Would make for some good .gifs if I knew how to make them

oh and the stuff Ontario drivers do at 120kmh plus, ask Jen for examples but we saw one guy with one foot up on his dashboard, people tucking into meals, necking coffee, playing with their ipods etc. they're pretty brutal drivers mostly because they don't know how to use lanes properly. I'm sure they'd shit bricks if they had to drive here where there is an assumed slow/fast lane combination

Oh you weren't driving? Well then wind down your window you stupid, soft Pommie!

lol mentioned that elsewhere. carrying a car full of bags & shit isn't fun when doing that every few minutes.

That's why I included soft, otherwise you just would have been stupid.

Originally posted by Fledz Also lol at you saying we need to contribute it all to society. Do you pay taxes? No, because you don't have a paying job so how exactly are you contributing to society? Do you do volunteer work on a regular basis?

That's a problem in most of North America. Only place I've been where people get it is Colorado, where the speed limit is 75, and the Winnebagos going 60 have been forced to learn the concept. Everywhere else, the 'passing' lane is treated as the 'go a little over the speed limit and relax' lane. Drives me mad.

women putting on makeup in the fast lane...i threw my coffee at one last week.

the speed limit lane/fast lane/superfast lane concept is very-well understood in italy and germany...not so much in the netherlands, where everyone is driving a camper

Europeans are just better drivers in general. Their narrow roads mean they're used to squeezing their cars through tight spaces and negotiating quickly when drivers come the other way. In places like America and Australia, people have no fucking clue where the edges of their vehicles are, and they barely bother to make eye contact.

The other problem is that a driver's license is treated as a right, not a privilege to be earned. Europeans who can't drive adequately, don't. Contrast that to home; the amount of timid fucks who can't make a turn into incoming traffic is insane.

Word.

So, I've been doing a bit of exploring in Berlin's abandoned buildings of late. Today we went to Teufelsberg ("Devil Hill"). At the end of WWII, the British and Americans took the rubble from an estimated 400,000 buildings, built a huge fuck-off hill just outside the city, and put a giant spy station up there to intercept Soviet communications. It's the biggest hill in the city, and the view is great. I took about 60 photos, but only uploaded one because my photobucket keeps crashing. Enjoy it, fags.



One from google:



The square buildings below the domes have no walls and are full of awesome graffiti. You can actually still climb up into the tallest dome, which makes the most insane echoes whenever you move. The whole site has been completely trashed, but it's still really interesting.

nice...totally missed that when i lived in berlin last summer. the city's full of fantastic graffiti.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. The road system works so much better out in canada too generally with management doing as good a job as possible in many places, and things like being able to turn right on a red light (except in quebec I believe) helping to keep things moving smoothly, but they definitely have issues with lane changing, tailgating and brains generally, especially truck drivers who stick in the middle lane and make visibility from people going from lane 3 to 1 (or 4 & 3 to 1) so much more difficult. My sister in law actually said that she'd be very wary of driving some of the narrower roads we have here in places where you have to be careful because only one car can pass and there are places that you pull over at to let them through etc because it's such a foreign concept to many of their wide open spaces.
