I've met a good many Europeans the past couple of days, all very inquisitive. Politics does come up a lot, but they aren't expressing views so much as looking for information.
I was surprised to find that Scientology is not uncommon in Europe. Amusingly, the people I talked with about it first heard about Scientology through the South Park episode. They love South Park.
It's interesting how traveling between countries in Europe is nothing to them -- it's just a weekend trip to Tahoe or something. Because of the European train layout, traveling across Europe is psychologically less of a big deal than Americans traveling to a different state for a weekend.
I had trout for dinner tonight. Apparently, it's common in Europe to serve the whole fish (head and tail), rather than just the meat. My companions were amused at my surprise, and they had to tell me how to eat it. Interestingly, on the way out, the fish in the tank by the door resembled the fish I had, and I wondered if they just yanked it out of there for dinner.
