Which cities in Europe should I visit if I can only visit three?
I’m listing here combination of offbeat and popular cities to visit. Some of these are towns, neighbourhood places, few small & big cities. Listing 3 is a difficult task. You can choose any three from these.Kokkari, a village in Greece about 10 kilometers from the capital city, Vathy. A place with virgin landscapes and overwhelming vegetation.Civita di Bagnoregio, ItalyThis town is only accessible by a long stone walkway that begins at the end of the road from neighboring Bagnoregio. It’s a frazione of the comune of Bagnoregio, 1 kilometre east from it.Archipelago of the Azores, Island cluster in Portugal (Offbeat)Witness the power of nature at Azores. There are nine volcanoes which are still alive here. This place has everything a nature lover will like dry calderas, craters lakes, fumaroles and thermal water springs.Another place from Portugal - Sintra - a resort town in the foothills of Portugal’s Sintra Mountains.The Mont Saint-MichelA small island commune in Normandy, France is located about one kilometre off the country's northwestern coast. Declared as world heritage in 1979, the place welcomes more than 3 million visitors annually to see a tower in the heart of an immense bay invaded by the highest tides in Europe.Bordeaux, FranceFrench culture, lifestyle & wine, Bordeaux happens to be France’s most elegant cities. It’s a UNESCO world heritage site offering quintessentially french experience.Not including Paris in this list will be a stupidity. And here it comes - a vibrant city filled with historic facades, food markets, shopping, cafes topped with frenchness.Hallstatt, Village in AustriaIts 16th-century Alpine houses and Gothic Catholic church sit on Lake Hallstatt's western shore. The place is popular among hikers & bikers during Summer.Visit oldest salt mine in the world, take a boat ride, explore cav world.Venice, Italy - A city miraculously built on water.The best time to visit this city is Summer.Rome, certainly not built in a day a tourist need minimum 3 -5 days to explore the historic extravaganza of Rome.Last but not the least a city known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades, legacies of the city’s 17th-century Golden Age - Amsterdam, NetherlandsHope this answer helps you.Reference: Telegraph & Europe
Should I read The Tale of Two Cities or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court?
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I have never even heard of that book but I can tell you I havent met a person who likes A Tale of Two Cities. I read that in school and I was the only one that liked it lol I must be a big nerd:P It is extremely hard to understand though. I only catched up to what was happening till the middle of the story. That is when it got interesting to me because i actually knew what was going on lol However, that book helped me to learn more about history like the guillotine era and its a pretty important and famous book too, but its up to you..
What is the farthest you can live from nyc and still enjoy the city?
Northern New Jersey, Westchester or Rockland County, NY, or southwestern Connecticut. They're all within 45 minutes' drive of Midtown, BUT you're going to spend pretty big bucks to live there. (FYI - Scarsdale is one of the MOST expensive suburbs to live in)
I am very introverted but love cities when I am surrounded by lots of people. Is this typical?
It’s very understandable.When you find yourself near someone in a small town, the expectation is to interact with them. You at least acknowledge them if not make small talk. In a big city, the expectation is that you don’t interact. The people near you put no social demands on you and make no personal demands on your interest or mind. And yet, the environment is lively.I think it is these social demands which tire many introverts most. The sheer activity will top of course but “hell is other people.”

How did you find out about Owl City?
For me, it was through the radio. I didn't start listening to it until 2011, and on the summer of 2012 the song “"Good Time” was really big and played all the time. I liked it, but never gave it too much thought until a year later.In the summer of 2013, I had a friend over at my house, and he showed me a song called “"Hello Seattle” and I instantly fell in love with it. I asked my friend what the artist’s name was and he told me, ‘Owl City.’ I knew I had to check this artist out.I went through the usual confusion about whether Owl City was a band or a singer, and realized that it was one guy, Adam Young, who did everything. That was pretty amazing. I researched Owl City to buy Hello Seattle and saw that the top hit was a song called Fireflies that I had never heard of before. I pressed the sample button and I was blown away at how amazing the song was.Four years later. I miss Owl City, but the music will be with me forever.
[COUNTRY BOYS ONLY] Do you country boys like city girls or country girls better.?
Not to sound like a total pig... All guys look for the same thing in the beginning: Good looks and a certain moral ambiguity. Fortunately for you, most guys (city or country) will not include any "poop" activities on the first date. Usually it is still a movie and/or dinner. Being covered head to toe in poop comes later. As a guy - a backwoods type guy - I would say we like a girl who is assertive. Try making the first move or asking him out. Good Luck!
