I worked my way around Europe a few years ago (cuisine helper in Switzerland, painting walls in London, washing sheets in Israel).
About tourist cities and sights, if you are young (under 30), check out Letīs Go, a book printed by Harvard students; if you are older, try Formerīs books.
I really think (this is just an opinion) Americans must visit England and Holland. In the US, people's mind are driven by money; in Germany and other Teuton-Nordic countries, people attitude is defined by enforcement of the law (jaywalking IS fined in Germany); in third world countries like mine, people try to find shortcuts, other than hard work, to get their welfare. England and Holland, however, have societies founded in tolerance and respect to other peopleīs rights; British and Dutch seem to know that just by doing the right thing (regardless of money or law), the living in society will be better.
Again, this was just my opinion. No personal or country offenses intended.
