Mal ,'Bushwhacked'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Barcelona was a fantastic city. Plus, you can borrow my guide books! I loved it so much that I am seriously considering moving there at some point.
One thing, the language you'll hear in Barcelona is Catalan (a mixture of French, Spanish, and the other Romance languages), as Barcelona is part of the Catalonia region.
I like good vodka, but I generally order my vodka tonics with rail
What's rail? I assume it isn't literally, like, a plank or something in your drink.
Rail means it's made using whatever the normal alcohol is for the bar, not the premium ones.
aka "well" liquor
Ah -- I had heard "well," but not "rail." Cool.
Rail/well could probably be used on those regional language maps.

With an added option for those of us who say "Have no clue what either mean". But I was raised by Temperance Union folks, so I'm woefully lacking in boozy vocabulary.
Barcelona was where I got food poisoning that landed me in the hospital for a week on my honeymoon! So um, I'd go with Prague.

Terrible that it was on your honeymoon!! My boyfriend was hospitalized in Paris (in his 20s) due to food poisoning. Thank dog he hasn't held that against Paris, or I'd have to go back alone. ;)

(What had you eaten, Jess?)
To this day, I have no idea. DH and I ate almost exactly the same things (and even when we didn't, we were sharing bites back and forth) and he didn't even get an upset stomach. It was a total freak thing.
[eta: Also, the vast VAST majority of food poisoning cases are from restaurant employees not washing their hands, not the food as such. So in that sense it really doesn't matter.]
