Europe.  Which is the better deal?  Does anyone know if the banks in
Germany charge a service charge when using a debit card at an atm?  What
about using a credit card for cash withdrawals are there any service

I will be in Copenhagen for a few days and would like to travel around
by train.  Where can I get a map that shows the train routes?  I want
to go to the area around Skibby, how can i get there by train?  I
might need to stay the night, if anyone has been in this area is there

I think Martin is afraid to contact me by mail, because he is gay! And
he can't proof 'the air' he promissed me! Be a real man Martin!!!!
And yes Runge...you are very right! Cowards like Martin don't react on

anywhere in France.
I have sorted a stay in Paris then we travel to the Alpes for 5 days
(via TGV to Chambery then TER up the mountains).

positive economic news from Washington.

I've been invited to tag onto a road trip starting in Budapest ending around
Stutgart. I just have to get myself there and ante up my share of the
lodging and meals. I've been looking at air fares on Orbitz and CheapTickets
and trying to sort out if it would be better for me to fly ...

No comment, just a reminder to normal posters here, even if they're scarce.

He really is afraid to contact me by mail! Couldn't he do the
tranlation job he said he did! Never saw a proof of it!
The only thing he can do is cutting and pasting no-topic postings and
stupid comments in this NG!

Every time I see that post about "How would you rank European countries on
