Really? I lived there for 3 months, and didn't find it dull at all. So many international people living there, most trying to get by and learn Spanish. So many friendships made. Not a lot of touristy stuff beyond the parks and museums; but the food is fantastic, the beers are cheap, and there's something to do every night of the week. Skip Madrid! Really?

I don’t mean to be negative, but these are the Murphy’s Laws of travel.

I traveled around Europe when I was studying abroad in Italy and I could have never imagined how much everything costs! You really need to be prepared with some smart ways to save money. I would recommend checking out this site if you're a student or faculty member to get some cheap airfare because that helps out a ton! http://www.studentuniverse.com/?utm_campaign=int2008&utm_medium=youtube&utm_source=comment+pj&utm_content=text These are some great tips!

My wife and I went there as backpackers and found it to be pretty expensive. We walked around for hours looking for a cheap place to stay for the night. We ended up coming back to the first one we'd found. Couldn't believe the price and our room still had strange blood stains on the walls. Don't miss Jim Morrison's grave though. We sometimes wonder whether the nutmeg we left for him (only thing we had on us at the time) is still there. We found it's sometimes possible to work at Hostels for food and board which is something my wife and I did whilst in Amsterdam. You just gotta ask as it's not something openly advertised. http://worldramblers.com Have to agree with you about Paris. My wife and I went there as backpackers and found it to be pretty expensive.
