Title: European Players?
Post by: putridbreath on May 16, 2010, 12:41:27 AM

Over the next ten days (May 17-27) I'll be traveling with my handbell ensemble to Europe (Austria/Hungary/Slovakia) with stops in the cities of Gyor, Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna. I have little knowledge about these areas and was wondering if there were any "must do" things in these cities or countries. What is unique to the particular areas or something I shouldn't return home without? In addition, I'd be willing to bring a deck and play Movie block with anyone interested in meeting up.  ;D (But it looks like my schedule is busy enough as it is  :P).

As for Austria, there's Elrohir in Salzburg who you could visit, but if you wanna see the richest country of the world, just come and visit me in Switzerland!

I don't know much about hungary, I know more about Czech Republic, Ukraine, Germany, France, and so on...
