Steemfest sounds fun :) I hope someone live streams it.

I wish I could afford to go, maybe some day in the future when I'm more successful.

One cool thing nowadays is Google translate on phones. You can speak Dutch to it and it'd tell you what they said in English. and vice verses. When I was flipping channels one day, I heard of a paramedic using his phone in the back of an ambulance to help with the language barrier. Got to love modern technology.

I guess whenever in the future I do happen to travel to Europe, I'd need to switch to a carrier that's not prepaid and lets you roam internationally. I've also heard of people traveling to Europe buying a separate sim card locally if they have a unlocked phone. So maybe that'd be a cheaper option than paying an American carrier to roam internationally.
