Honestly, you really can't expect a great entertainment industry from a country of 5 million. Canada is much bigger and they can't come up with anything better than Rush. :yawn:
Arcade Fire!  :mad:

I don't really get the obsession with Rush, I bet they're virtually unknown outside of North America.

A small overview of Europe.


Aren't Vatican, San Marino, Monaco and Andorra de facto also members of the Schengen area? It's not like the Vatican museum entrance has a passport check... ;)

From the wikipage that also has that image.

QuoteAndorra retains border controls with both France and Spain. Citizens of EU countries are required to have either their national identity cards or passports to enter Andorra, while anyone else requires a passport or equivalent. Schengen visas are accepted, but those travellers who need a visa to enter the Schengen Area need a multiple-entry visa to visit Andorra, because entering Andorra means leaving the Schengen Area.

Monaco has an open border with France. Schengen laws are administered as if it were a part of EU. Both French and Monégasque authorities carry out checks at Monaco's seaport and heliport.

San Marino has an open border with Italy, although some random checks are made by Guardia di Finanza and San Marino's Guardia di Rocca.

The Vatican City has an open border with Italy. The microstate has shown an interest in joining the Schengen agreement for closer cooperation in information sharing and similar activities covered by the Schengen Information System.[ Very exceptionally, Italy has allowed people to visit the Vatican City, without being accepted for an Italian visa, then being escorted by police between the airport and the Vatican, or using helicopter

That answer will not compute.

Which team did Bruno visit?  Was it Alabama?
