mattbellI want to make the last part of my trip more people-focused, as the typical sightseeing activities don't impress me that much anymore. "Oh look, you have a medieval castle and a 100m high cathedral in your old town, that's nice. Yawn." I have been scheduling *atypical* sightseeing activities, which mainly consist of extremely impressive sights or ways of quickly digging in deeper into a country's culture.
I have a 3-week unlimited railpass and rough plans to hit up Berlin, Amsterdam, and much of Scandinavia, but the train service in Western Europe is so good that I can basically get as far south as Spain in an overnight train from northern Europe. So basically things are very flexible and I can quickly show up almost anywhere for almost zero incremental cost.
i am curious if any of you can hook me up with the following:
- Any physicists at CERN who might be able to show me around the LHC.
- Anyone in the art/tech scenes in Vienna, Berlin, or Amsterdam.
- People working in alternative energy, energy efficiency tech, or other related fields in Western Europe.
- BASE jumpers in Switzerland or Norrway
- People you know who live in Western Europe that I would hit it off really well with, either locals or expatriates.
- Advice on the most impressive sights you've seen in Europe.. (I already have seen a lot in prior trips, but hey, if there's something that blew your mind, let me know what it was)
