Yes! Hmm, though I still blame US banks. RT @travellinggay: @frugaltraveler You're right...#French machines are notorious #chip snobs!

OK OK, let's change that...RT @patrick_c: @frugaltraveler I would love to be retweeted in english, but it never happens!

Until 2 minutes ago, I'd never heard of the Legends Football League. Can I go back in time? (And why is it on Belgian TV?)

My French is rusty, so I'm hoping this "taco" ad reads "It will take you nowhere near Mexico." #Brussels instagram.com/p/ZbO9hwFqoe/

The group about to play an 8-euro lunchtime concert at La Monnaie in Brussels is tuning their 18th c. "period instruments" with an iPad app.

Looking at map and wondering how it could be 72 degrees in Berlin, where I was yesterday, and 46 in Brussels, where I am (freezing) today.

I'll be eating lots of frites in Brussels...need to offset damage. Jogging/yoga/salad/ suggestions? (No Brussels sprouts jokes pls.)

Brussels Metro ticket machines accept credit cards without chips. Don't see that much in European mass transit.

Hotel review sites (@TripAdvisor, @bookingcom) should require reviewers to disclose rate they paid. Would put neg reviews in perspective.

Is there an award for "City with the least free wifi"? If so, did Brussels win? (10 euros for 30 minutes in the train station?????)

The Frugal Traveler @frugaltraveler
Hello Brussels! Salut Bruxelles! Hallo Brussel! Or whatever. Lots of languages in the streets here. (Lots of rain, too.)

Fitting epilogue to my stay in Toulouse: wine, boudin de viande, confit de canard, coconut tart at Chez Raymond. nyti.ms/13Zvdoc

A cheese that's a dead ringer for a moldy burrito? Just one wonder at Xavier, Toulouse's renowned cheese shop. nyti.ms/13Zvdoc

If you're going to eat alone, you might as well be sitting next to a German guy w/ a French woman having an awkward date in English. #Berlin

Beach weather in Berlin! And plenty of public-transport-accessible lakes to choose from (in some cases well) under an hour from the city.

Hey New Yorkers: whining about a bike-sharing system (nytimes.com/2013/05/15/nyr…) is just embarrassing. It's called being a 21st century city.

You know, typical Sunday afternoon in Berlin: full band playing cumbia in U-bahn station. instagram.com/p/ZNvsVGlqmA/

The problem w/ not speaking German in Berlin isn't not being understood, it's being mistaken for ex-pats who've never bothered to learn.

In Berlin for frugal performing arts weekend #2 and the choices are astonishing (and some are astonishingly weird).

Hey @LateRooms, seems your app is unavailable for US-based iPhones. Is that right?

The Frugal Traveler @frugaltraveler
What a difference a day makes! Plenty of hotels on last minute booking apps in Berlin for tonight, legit 30% savings.

I can't get over how many ppl drink in airports. I need a beer like a hole in the head; I need an airport-priced beer even less.

Heading to Berlin to check out performing arts all weekend...whoa, this festival looks interesting: mpa-b.org. Anyone been?

Last minute resort, great idea from RT @onetwothreesy TONS of enthusiastic couchsurfers here.

And voila, a single 59-euro room opens up in central Berlin. Booked immediately on Booking.com's Tonight app. Nervewracking!

Live from the Barcelona airport: Drama in my last minute hotel apps testing. Berlin is packed, even hostels scarce.

Hey @BlinkBooking, if no hotel deals today in Berlin, dont make me wait til countdown ends to tell me. Just say so, so I can look elsewhere.

Eurolines bus Toulouse-Barcelona was easy, cheap (€38). Online booking only -ok, fine- but must print ticket -pain in the neck.

Whatever's happening in Berlin this weekend, it's making my last-minute hotel booking article interesting. Virtually nothing free!

Sorry folks-who-requested, pics of the Chez Raymond meal in my old fashioned digital camera, not my phone. Will post when I can.

Consecutive national holidays in France = travel complications. VE Day/Feast of the Ascension: good for Europe/Jesus, bad for me.

Squeezed into a table of regulars today at Chez Raymond, Toulouse. Four courses, with wine €12.50 ($16). Wow. #confitdecanard #boudin
