Europe can be summed up as thus:
Brian: "AMERICA!"
****************************
On the train to Prague: "We cannot go to Czech. Excuse us please."
Finally getting to Prague: "We are over 70 minutes late to Prague. Excuse us please."
More from the train to Prague - Getting yelled at by the train people: "You put your feet on ze chair! 13 euros!"
****************************
We got woken up at 10:30 in the morning (after going to bed at like 4) by our hostel in Prague who wanted us to pack up and move rooms. They woke six of us up, our group of three and another group of three.
When they first came in: "Wake up and pack all your things up! Check-out was at 10 am! You're late!"
Guy from the other group who also got woken up: "Is this some kind of sick joke?"
After we complained about their bad business practices, we got: "This is hostel! You never stayed in hostel before?"
Brian asks to speak to their manager and is told: "He's on holiday."
Trying to figure out when we can get the key to our new room: Girl from hostel: "You give key, you get key." Brian: "Oh great, so we can get our key now?" Girst from hostel: "2 pm."
***************************
"Hosed."

Me to JZ: "Are you gonna be able to let that one go?"

Drunk Brian on the streets of Munich after 3 liters of beer at the Hofbrauhaus: "Sprekense English? Sprekense Deutsch? YES! It's America!"
*******************************
At the Hofbrauhaus, our skeezy waiter to me:
First: "Are you here with your boyfriend? Which one is your boyfriend?"
Second: "Do you have a boyfriend in America? No? But you're so pretty. Well, it's good for me."
Third after I ordered a Fanta: "OK, I bring you your drink. With love."
Fourth: He gives me a piece of paper, I look at it and it says: "How long are you going to stay?"
GROSS
****************************
Me and Brian every morning that we had to check out of a hostel: "JZ, wake up. It's 10:40, check out's at 11." Five minutes later.... "Seriously JZ, wake up!"
JZ - such a morning person and we love him for it. =)

At the bar in our hostel in Berlin. Brian playing some defense for me:
Asks the guy bothering me: "Can you show me how to get to Brandenburg gate?"
Annoying guy: "I would, but I don't have a map."
Brian whips out his: "Oh! I do!"
Annoying guy: "You know....I don't think drinks and maps really work well together."
Brian: "I always found that drinks and maps go perfectly together!"
Yess....Brian rocks.
********************************
Also from the bar at our hostel in Berlin:
Brian leans the candle to help some guy light his cigarette,
Smoking guy to Brian: "You and me, it's romantic. No?"
Brian: "I don't think so!"

Waiter: Oh, for drink?
Me: No, food
He brings us the menus and five minutes later we try to order

There was a stand selling "American hot dogs" and its flag was decorated with both American and Confederate flag designs. I wanted a picture, Brian and JZ wanted to be in it, so they walked over to the stand
Brian to the hot dog lady: So, how much is a hot dog? Can I get free ketchup? Free mustard? How about mayo? (After he sees me take the picture) Hmm, nice flag! I'll come back later.
