    Oh, and I forgot to ask, when were you there last? How did you feel re: safety? My father is a retired cop, always concerned about that stuff. From what I can tell, it's no different from any other European city from a tourist's standpoint. He's calmed down a bit from his initial reaction ("are you out of your flippin' mind?") but it would still be nice to hear from someone who has been there first-hand.

    Tell the cop to stand down--very safe city as long as you don't hang in dark corners of the city...even pickpockets are more prevalent in other EU cities!

    PS--don't forget the online $20 visa!
