[edit] How I Found Out About Wikipedia
When I was doing a project in school for Hurricane Katrina, I Googled it, and the first result was the Wikipedia Article. This was about May 1st. I bookmarked the page so I could go on the page quickly. Around May 20th, I was looking through my favorites list, and saw the Katrina article still there. I decided to go on the article again, and started exploring Wikipedia. I liked what was possible on Wikipedia, and on May 23rd, 2006, I officially joined Wikipedia.

[edit] My Trip to Southwestern Europe
From the 30th of May to the 5th of July, I was on vacation/holiday in Europe, seeing family and friends. Before you read on, I must warn you there is a 92.759% chance you will die of boredom reading this. Anyways, my flight included going from Salt Lake International→Hartsfield Jackson-Atlanta International→Zürich International→Zagreb International (Zračna luka Zagreb in Croatian). See what I meant about boring you? Anyways, I went to Bosnia to see my cousins and uncles and aunts and grandparents and all that familyish stuff. Then I went to Sombor, Serbia to see my grand-uncle, and then back to Bosnia to see friends this time. Then we took a ten hour trip to Verona, Italy (by car) to see more friends. Verona turned out to be a spectacular city. Then we took a train to Ancona, Italy a city on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Then we took a ship (called "Croazia Jet"—maybe "Croazia" is Croatia in Italian?) to Split to see the Dalmatian Coast. I saw the cities of Šibenik, Zadar, Vodice, and of course, Split. While there, I encountered 100°F+ temperatures (38°C+). Then I returned to Zagreb and went back home. This time I went like this: Zagreb→Brussels→New York (JFK)→and finally Salt Lake. That's it for my trip. I hope you're not asleep.
[edit] Things I Found Out About Europe
- Diesels rule. Period.
- Unlike us power-hungry Americans, you can actually find a car in the European market that has under 100 horsepower. And most of them are slow. For example, a smart Fortwo dci takes around 19 seconds to get from 0-100 km/h (or 0-62 mp/h). And it has—that's right—a measly 41 horsepower from its diesel engine.
- We're being crazy as the only country in the world using the Imperial system. Why don't we use the more senisble Metric system, like the rest of the world?
- European cars are different than our cars. They're smaller, less powerful, more economical, and geared more to what a car is really supposed to be: reliable transportation (instead of a living room on wheels).
- The war down in the Balkans has devastated the whole region. Eleven years after the end of the war, things are getting better down there, but it's still not completely good. I hope the whole region recovers soon, so people down there can have even better lives than before the war.
- You can never clog a European toilet.
