Romania has a miniature of the Eiffel Tower somewhere in the south of the country too. And the engineer Gustave Eiffel (the person that designed the tower) has also influenced the architecture of our country. For example he built a bridge named after him over the Prut river (at the border between Romania and Moldova, and in addition the Grand Hotel Traian in the city of Iași (which is located in the north east of Romania).

@19:20 "Everywhere else in Europe they'll call it metro" - Not true: In Germany and Austria, where they have very extensive networks, it's called U-Bahn (from Untergrundbahn), which is a literal translation of underground (rail). In Sweden it's known with a T from tunnelbana (tunnel rail). In other words, the idea of the "metro" is not as extended as one might think.

The word Metro or Metropolitan actually came from London, not Paris. The Metropolitan Railway in London (now the Metropolitan Line) predates the Paris Metro. Most people will say it was the first underground railway in the world. It is certainly the oldest, but the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the first - it now takes a different route into Liverpool not via that tunnel. "Subway" comes from the Glasgow District Subway which some people say is the second oldest in the world, however it isn't even the second oldest in Glasgow.

Friends are sending us photos in summer of them on holiday and we have to work and deal with tourists. But he said as long as you attempt to speak and be courtesy you will be fine.” Then he said “don’t find Americans annoying, but French Canadians trying to speak French…??!!!”

The Americans and the Canadians have a lot of stop signs because they have the 3 way and four way stops. Whilst in Europe you have one simple rule: right priority over left. And this rule does not really exist in North America, so they resort to the First in first out rule with their stop signs. I earned a lot of confused glares when I stoped on a parking lot to let a lady coming from the right into my road (I was in the left), because I learned driving by the European rule. Quebec for example uses Stop signs with the marking "Arret" and you can easily see Anglophone areas in francophone Quebec when they put up regular stop signs, like in Dorval, at the Rue Queen Mary in Montreal and in Westmount.

The Eiffel Tower. The one Eiffel offered to Barcelona before Paris. I remember. So Barcelona city council said no thanks and Eiffel who made some bridges in Girona then moved to Paris. In Barcelona now since then we have a Triumph Arch (l'Arc de Triomf) and it is very close to el Parc de la Ciutadella. So imagine having in the same city La Sagrada Família and the Eiffel Tower (la Torre Eiffel). Well, it wasn't meant to be.

I would have thought you also would visit the Statue of Liberty at Pont de Grenelle, since that is actually the model the bigger Statue of Liberty in NYC is based on. Also I would have thought you might introduce people to the Batobus, a ferry on the Seine which is public transport. So you have a cruise and public transport to some of the bigger touristic places at the same time. And as last: I would also highlight the Tour Montparnasse, where you can have a view over the city of Paris for a low price as well, but without the waiting times at for example the Tour de Eiffel.

I have to disagree with Janek on Prague being a big city. It is not. Usually you can reach any point in Prague within 15 to 20 minutes. Or in reverse, even during rush hour, you can drive from Malostranska or Smetanovo nabrezi (which is pretty much the city centre) to the edge of the city near Divoka Sarka in well under 20 minutes. Try doing that in a 'big city'. Again, Prague is not a big city, even though the Prague metro area has 1.3 million people, this city lacks the grand boulevards (no, magistrala is not a grand boulevard) and grand squares or roundabouts (no vitezne namesti is not a grand roundabout) you see in places like Brussels, Budapest, Warsaw... or indeed Paris or London. Prague, for some reason, feels small, it does not feel like one of Europes great population centers. It is very very majestic and beautiful though, 'big' it ain't

Why not take the train, I did it spring last year and it was a decent overnight journey. Frankfurt main train station does unfortunately suck, as the local council refuses to heat it up and so you are forced to sit there in winter clothing. Other than that, despite the tragic German rail network, it was a pleasant journey. Driving shouldn't be the first option, it should be the very last when there isn't absolutely anything else to choose.
