Hey, well the gig I was supposed to get in December has rolled into a Worldwide Tour. I go to York, England in May for 6 weeks of rehearsal and tech and then off on a tour of Europe & Russia then Japan in mid 2010.
It doesn't look like I'll be home before May 2010 while the gear is on a boat to Japan. I've never really been anywhere outside of the US. When I lived in La La land Sherry and my brother took to me to TJ a couple times, but that doesn't really count. I need recommendations on power adapters, cell phone, etc...I currently use AT&T with the iPhone - it looks like it's supposed to work international, but I'm not sure if it's the most cost effective. Also, any experiences with monies, etc... Thanks! |

It's been almost 20 years since I lived in Europe and the Middle East. All of the advice offered applied then. (Except for cell phone use because there were no cell phones then. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) )
The advice on security measures is very good. There are some recommendations that I never thought of in the past. I especially agree with being polite and curteous to the locals, afterall we are visitors. The concept of the ugly American is unfortunately real and when you see how some Americans act you will understand why. I also agree with the advice to eat in small restaurants with the locals. Just like here in the US you can find some of the most enjoyable food in the low-key places. Have fun, Sean. This sounds like a great opportunity, one you will never forget. Oh, and thanks for the 914 tee shirts and very quick delivery! |
