Hi,

I'm from Europe and I'm planning a BASE road trip through the United States soon. I have a few questions...

1) Do you guys have stores where you can buy, like, stuff? To eat and drink I mean.
2) What about toilet paper? Should I bring my own?
3) How are the roads? Should I rent a 4WD car, or will my bicycle be enough?
4) I may pop over the border and visit Mexico. Should I bring gloves?
5) I'm also thinking about stopping by in Canada, should I bring shorts?
6) Do I need any vaccinations?

Thanks so much!

Actually there isn't anything worth seeing or doing in North America... you should just stay in Europe.

P.S. The Dutch welfare system apparently still pays you whlie you're overseas ;-)

1) Do you guys have stores where you can buy, like, stuff? To eat and drink I mean.

Just McDs.

2) What about toilet paper? Should I bring my own?

We use junk mail for that.

3) How are the roads? Should I rent a 4WD car, or will my bicycle be enough?

You need a harley dude, iit's America.

4) I may pop over the border and visit Mexico. Should I bring gloves?

Yes, latex.

5) I'm also thinking about stopping by in Canada, should I bring shorts?

Why not and have some bacon while there.

6) Do I need any vaccinations?

Just the one for AIDS.

Just for the record, that's a generic 'you', not a Jaap 'you'. I'm a (hard) working citizen paying money to the government, rather than the other way around.

And yeah, don't get me started...

It's a good post... and I have give you some ribbing for it... esp considering the circumstances.

Also for the record you're one of the best things that's happened to Canada... right up there with toques, maple syrup, poutine, tortierre, donairs, caesars, Tim Hortons, and the word "eh".

Just don't drink the water.

I'm in the US and planning a trip to Jaap's house. Anything I should know?

Seriously, the weather sucks in Seattle, I'm coming up to visit...
