Wow, your pretty hard boiled. I'm impressed.
You've traveled, you like to eat and you wanna learn HTML..
You've been to all of these European countries....
The most european country I've been to is umm, Greece.
I've pretty much only been to asia... China, Singapore, Japan, Philippines, Malayisa, Nepal...
But look at us... we are such globe trotters.
Good luck on your HTML endeavors if you need help let me know.
