I've travelled a bit, so I've decided to review the countries I've been to, well, namely how drunk I got in each one.

All names have been changed to protect the innocent.

France. 1* Rating. National drink: Wine.

France was my first experience of alcohol. At the tender age of 12, and under the supposed supervision of a teacher. My friend *dave* and I procured a bottle of red wine. Drinking ages are vague in France. We drank it, I ate the foam covers from a pair of headfones, we were sick, *dave* tried to kiss me. NEVER GO TO FRANCE.

The Falkland Islands. 5*rating. National drink: Stella Artois.

The falklands are a desolate pair of rocks located of the southern coast of Argentina. Needless to say I was not looking forward to working there. However I spent most of my time there dressed as a turtle (a suit made from a green sleeping bag). Whilst there I formed an elite secret society of hardcore drinkers known simply as 'Turtle Club'. Imagine if you will an orginisation similar to the Illuminati, but drunk. GO TO THE FALKLANDS.

Poland. 5*rating. National drink: Tskie.

Due to certain incidents I am not at liberty to discuss poland. GO THERE IMMEDIATLY.

Oman. 0* rating. National drink: Tea.

Hot, smelly and no alcohol. NEVER GO TO OMAN.

Estonia. 3* rating. National drink: Anything.

When I arrived in Estonia I was greeted by a man with a dog, taken to alittle room and given a cavity search, whilst I respect cultural differences a handshake would ha
ve sufficed. During my time in Estonia, *dave* climbed a hotel and stole several flags from poles upon the roof of the hotel. We were promptly arrested at gun point and treated to a customary Estonian greeting. And held in a prison cell until our flight home was ready. NEVER ALLOWED BACK TO ESTONIA.

Just make one post, holmes. Double, triple and quadruple posting are kind of a no-no.

yeah, its frowned upon. but it does make it easier to quote the one country rather than quote everything & then remove all the other crap when you only want to discuss the one country... such as:

I've been to Estonia several times, and it's never like that. Laughing

When was this? Before or after Estonias independence from Soviet Union? If that was in the early 90s, the story becomes somewhat possible.

The only real ways to get into trouble in Estonia today is to either booze & hookers or local mafia.

But really, Estonia is beautiful and nothing to be afraid of.

It was Nov 2004. Maybe an indication as to why we got into trouble is the fact I formed a secret society for hardened drinkers. I also make a point to venture from the beaten track when I travel, i find all tourist 'safe' areas insipid.

Tallin was indeed a very beautiful city, although very seedy in certain areas.
