ciao from Olbia, Sardinia, Italy (w/ world cup update)

ciao!

hey everyone. thought i'd drop in just to say hello from Sardinia, Italy! for some of you who might know i left for Europe last Friday with drgoodvibe to explore the amazing island of Sardinia in the Meditteranean by car. it's been nothing short of amazing! we arrived in London briefly for just 2 days and watched England lose to Portugal in penalties. it was pretty chaotic on the streets that afternoon as it seemed that fights were going to breakout over the craziest stuff.

anyways, we ended up in a small Italian town/village called Oristano along the western coast of this island where we watched Italy play Germany in the town square with a couple thousand of the townsfolk. When Italy won you wouldn?t believe the kinda pandamonium that ensued. The entire village came down to the square for an all night party. i cant even begin to describe it but hopefully we?ll hav lots of video footage to share when we get back. btw. driving here is CRAZY !!! we already ran into a little ?incident? on the road and i?ll be glad to get rid of this rental car here at the Olbia airport later today. despite all the madness on the streets and highways the beaches here are to die for!! relatively untouched by tourists with some real gems along the coastline if you go exploring.

so we?re off to Berlin on Friday to catch the World Cup finals in what should be a great match. after that it?s a short stint in Prague and then back to Berlin for Love from ABove and the Love PArade.

another update to come soon!!

arrivederci!

Lol. Italian, French, and Spanish drivers are the absolute worst. It's such a shock when you're coming from Canada, seeing the way they drive there.

That was precisely my point. Nothing is off limits there.

Not to sure about the rest of europe but in london they have cameras instead of cops to measure your speed and they have to give advance warnings on the road that theres a camera ahead. Now if thats not an open invitation to put foot, i dunno wat is.

Posted by Misanthrope on Jul-07-2006 01:09:

oo best thing in london, [not sure about the rest of england] is that you can flash your headlights at the traffic lights and instantly changes from red to green.

It's meant for coppers/paramedics e.t.c

yeah they are pretty disciplined in a maniac kind of way... if that makes sense...

here they are just retarded and drive all over the place... and no one calls them on it, so they keep doing it.

Posted by Cosmic Fur on Jul-07-2006 01:11:

It's not speeding. It's jus tthe way the drive - climbing curbs to get by, insane lane changes, driving in opposite lane, etc etc. And those scooters are just death. We had a 5 series BMW as a rental, and navigating through those scooters was fucking stressful in that tank. Some of them seemed to WANT to kill themselves.

hahah, I used to have trouble adjusting my "pedestrian" mentality from Canadian to Polish whenever I went back home. Finally I just started to think here like I would over there. Pedestrians right-of-way my ass

Canadian drivers wouldn't last 5 minutes on the streets in Europe.

think here like they think there which is roads are for cars and sidewalks are for people. Therefor when you enter a road that doest have a sidewalk (crosswalk) then you should get the hell out of the way of cars.

pretty simple really but toronto pedestrians seem to lack common sense in that department

as for driving.. yeah thats a huge adjustment because if u make one wrong move you are toast.
