European folks in my flist!
The, uh, liaison, you could say, between my Uni and Leeds University, just e-mailed me and between some other stuff (oh God the British visa I need to apply and I have to do it in Mexico City oh why, it's 7 hours by bus uuuuugh) he said I need to get this Shengen visa to move around Europe. I'd, uh, never heard about it! When I went to Europe (admitedly, eight years ago) all I had was my passport, and me and my family crossed countries quite merrily and without any fuss.
What do you European people need to get across borders? And people from other places that have backpacked or something, what did you need?
HALP?
(I'm not even sure if I'll be able to go to other countries during the semester (i.e. if I'll have the money), but I want to do it like burning, so I'm not closing that option.)

However going to England is always a bit more difficult "because they're an island", I just think its rather because.... uh, well, none of my theories now.
But I guess if you re not from the EU things become more difficult.
My former best friend suprisingly made it to England with us, stayed one week, got out of the country again - all without a passport. But that was sheer fucking luck.
