Ok, this coming summer I will be touring Europe with a concert band for two weeks. I'm going to England, Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, and maybe another cpl. countries (I forget and don't have the info with me). Anyways, I had a couple worries and concerns.
1. Is theft as big of a problem in Europe as many claim? I've heard stories of large amts. of theft there. What can I do to protect myself from theft? What countries should I be the most careful in?
2. What will I need to charge my PB in Europe?
3. I currently have DSL dialup internet. I would like to have internet access while in Europe. What are good options? Is there a wide enough range of hotspots that I could just go to them, or should I get a temporary dial-up ISP? If I have to get an ISP, what should I get? This is only a two week trip, so I'd rather not pay an arm and a leg.
4. Any other advice for a 1st time traveller to Europe (I've travelled to almost all 50 states, but this is my 1st Europe adventure!)? Doesn't have to be computer related.
Thanks!
