A goat roper worrying about the litle old french tradition of rioting? Rent a copy of MIZ and practise AUX BARRICADES! or point in the opposite direction and yell JERRY LEWIS!

Chris,

You must be pretty busy right now, you've forgotten you already teased me on this subject. Increase the ginko my friend. grin

I wonder if this subject would have gone better if I left out Paris and just asked for general riot tips? Or is being prepared for riots while in a strange city outside the subject matter of this board?

-Blast

I dunno, certainly some of the content on this thread (especially some of mine) really belonged on the campfire forum. I guess it doesn't always go as planned.

Absolutely OldBaldGuy.

I can go to mountains, desert, beaches, forests of all kinds without leaving my country. True we dont have a bunch of old buildings like the Euros, but I can live with that.

... and I can legally defend myself from MZBs.

Blast, good luck in Paris.
We’ve been there several times, most recently last summer. We traveled on the Metro all hours of the day without problems (except those 2 pickpocket attempts – unsuccessful). If you carry a Palm, a useful program for navigating the Metro is “MetrO” (available at http://www.nanika.net/metro/).

To further “pass” as a Canadian you can get a “Canadian” passport cover, actually any country, that will pass casual scrutiny.

Having a pocket phrasebook can help. I think mine is a Lonely Planet version (on loan), it’s more practically oriented than most phrasebooks.

Hi Blast,

From all the responses on this thread, it looks like your certainly going to have an adventure traveling to all those countries. As a Texan Oilman traveling to Scotland, why not get hold of the film ' Local Hero '. Same story line as in the film. This would probably be nearer the mark if you make it to Scotland. Just have a look around some of the fishing villages along the coast south of Aberdeen and try and make it to Braemar if you get the chance, but don't ask where you can get a Automatic Assault Rifle, you'll get some strange looks. Good Luck.
