1) The sausages taste funny
2) You can kill an enemy with the bread (okay, he concedes that might be fun)
3) The coffee cup is the size of a sip and he is a 100 sip man, used to Shit and Grits generous refills. There is NO refills in Portugal, France and Spain. He figures, if he drinks as much coffee there as he does back home, he'd have used up $1000 at $3.50 a sip.
4) Nobody understands his French (which he doesn't speak, LOL).
5) Exchange rate: US$2 = EU$1.05 back (ouch).
6) Small, Medium, Large, so easy. WTF is 35, 36, 37...48? (He was probably buying gifts for his girls. It's amazing how numbered sizes confuse a male).
7) Too many museums on too many hills (oh man, talk about serendipity. He snuck on a Viking/medieval/King Leonidas of 300 helmet-mask while I was struggling with my time-traveling Viking back home here! Must remember to try to get that pic from him to scan....)
8) The roofs were way, way, way up there and he couldn't inspect them while being mashed in a reveling crowd of thousands ;-).
You know, listening to him, it occurred to me that an essentially time-traveling Viking, even on some magic quest, would be quite vocal about the different foods he encounter. So, besides checking out the ladies, he would be eating quite a lot. You see how I get my ideas?

:) Ideas can come from anywhere. I heard today that one of Coldplay's songs draws inspiration from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
If your Viking is particularly discerning, he might even notice the differences in clothing... perhaps even appreciate certain places/times for their styles - for both men and women, of course. ;)
1. The sausages do not taste funny. RB just can't appreciate good European sausages. ;)
2. No you can't. :p
3. The coffee size is perfectly normal, unlike American sizes which ppl hoard down like it's water. :p
Monique,
Clothing? Never! Heehee. Mainly because I suck at noticing clothing. Food, yes!
Yovana,
I didn't like the sausages in Europe either. And the coffee cups are definitely too dainty for us blue-collared workers. If one of my big guys drink from one of them, he'd have to suck in down like it's a coke bottle or something, LOL. RB called them "spit-sized." Heh, I like that.
