    Luxpjamer, I understand you!!!

    Nice effort, by the way! Maybe some day you'll have the guys playing there, who knows?

    Portugal is also a small country (about 10 million people), but we've been blessed with 3 PJ visits (in a total of 5 concerts) up to now (another one coming up in June), and for many maybe it wouldn't make sense also for them coming here...
    I mean, as I said, 10 million, we're between the atlantic ocean and Spain (which is so much bigger and gets gigs in several cities...also, it wouldn't be that difficult to get to Madrid, for instance, like 6 hour drive or something, or by train...). In a way we're this little rectangle put in the most western part of continental europe and could very easily be "left behind".
    thank god we're not!!!!
    So, good luck with your Lux campaign!!! :)


    PS - I have a friend who lived in Luxembourg for a year or so, and she kept on bumping on people speaking portuguese, it's really a big community there! also, she LOVES beer, and between Lux and Belgium, she could have a different one each day of the year!!! :)

    If they play here I'm sure it would be the smallest country they would have play! That would be something,or?

    Yeah, the portuguese community is very big and I have a lot of portuguese friends. They are really great if you knew them even if I think they are sometimes too patriotic ;)( when they play football!!! :)).
    Obrigado for your reply and I want you to know that I love Port wine ( red and white), Moelhas, bifanas, sagres, caldo verde and this crazy pig ears salad !

    Butt-head: This guy makes faces like Eddie Vedder.
    Beavis: No, Eddie Vedder makes faces like this guy.
    Butt-head: I heard these guys, like, came first and Pearl Jam ripped them off.
    Beavis: No, Pearl Jam came first.
    Butt-head: Well, they both suck.

    SIX REASONS TO VISIT LUXEMBOURG
    Breathtaking views, fine wine, and a compelling history. Here are your first six reasons to visit Luxembourg...and there are plenty more!




    1. Chemin de la Corniche: Lift your spirits at this pedestrian promenade commonly known as “Europe’s most beautiful balcony.” At the southern base of the Chemin de la Corniche, the Citadelle du St. Espirit provides spectacular panoramic views of both the river valleys and the lower town rich with quaint cobblestone streets and serving the area’s late-night crowd.

    2. 1,000 Years in 100 Minutes: Take the “Wenzel Walk” through the city of Luxembourg’s oldest quarters for an engaging and compelling millennial history. The name “Wenzel Walk” pays tribute to Wenceslas II, Duke of Luxembourg between 1383 and 1419.

    3. Wine Tasting: Initiate a toast as you sample the dry whites that help put Moselle Valley on the map. The Moselle Valley’s Route de Vin (Wine Road) commences at Waserbillig and continues along the Moselle River beyond Grevenmacher to the charming villages of Wormeldange, Remich, and Schengen. Guided tours and wine tastings are available at a wide array of wine cellars. Check out the colorful grape and wine festivals, many complete with parades, which run from August through November.

    Hours vary throughout the year. Be sure to check operating hours prior to your tour.

    4. The National Museum of Military History: Get the big picture on the Battle of the Bulge.

    The National Museum of Military History
    10, Bamertal – L-9209 Diekirch
    Telephone: (352) 80 89 08
    Fax: (352) 80 47 19
    Web: http://www.nat-military-museum.lu and http://www.amba.lu

    Hours vary throughout the year. Be sure to check the museum’s hours of operation prior to your visit.

    Additional museums commemorating the Battle of the Bulge are located in Clervaux, Ettelbruck, and Wiltz.

    5. Gourmet Delight: You’ll find more Michelin-star (9-star) restaurants per capita here than any other country in the world.

    6. Biker’s Paradise: Spin your wheels in the Ardennes region, a scenic wonderland for bikers. Bikers who prefer riding with a group can take part in various sporting events, including guided tours. If that’s not enough variety, cyclists are also welcome in other parts of Luxembourg, including the Minette region with its canyon scenery, Gutland brimming with meadows and forests, Moselle offering views of refreshing vineyards, and Mullerthal known for its grand rock formations. Information regarding bike routes can be obtained from the Luxembourg National Tourist Office.
