While touring to promote "Up and Down," these boys have been all around- and here these traveling talents give you their take on globetrotting!

Traveling to foreign lands can be quite shocking, as Ricky Felix, Joshua Keaton, Eric Stretch and Danny Zavatsky of No Authority can tell you. The four California guys, whose 1997 debut album, Keep On, has brought the boys international recognition, have learned firsthard what it is like to be strangers in strange lands- and they tell BOP that it's been quite a learning experience.

seeing the sights

According to 17-year-old cutie Ricky, the thing he likes the most about the time he's been able to spend abroad is taking in all of the sights of the European cities. "The most beautiful [place] is probably Germany," Ricky gushes to Bop. "The architecture is really beautiful."

For surfer-boy Danny, 16, walking on the city streets in different countries is a totally interesting and enjoyable experience. "My favorite thing is the experience of actually going all over the place and seeing different things," he raves, adding that while blazing a concert-tour trail throughout Europe, two cities stood out as his faves. "I liked Amsterdam, it was cool. I also liked London, it was really nice."

talking in tounges

As for newly blond Josh, he's really into picking up the native language of the places he goes. "Oh, I can say lots of bad things in German," he laughs. Aside from the not-so-nice German words Josh picked up, the linguistically talented 19-year-old shares that he's also fluent in Spanish, thanks to his mom, Amparo, who is from South America, and he says that he'd really love to travel Spain so he can perfect his accent. "Spanish in Spain is Castilian Spanish, which is really different," Josh explains to Bop. "There's different ways of pronouncing things. I'm looking foward to hearing it."

While Josh can't get enough of talking foreign tounges, it's a different story for his 18-year-old bandmate Eric, who says that all of the different languages he's encountered in the countries on tour have been a wacky source of confusion for him- even in the English-speaking countries! "Cause, like, biscuit in [England] means cookie," Eric marvels. "So we went to KFC and they don't have biscuits. We were like, 'Can we have some biscuits?' And they were like, 'We don't serve that." [I said] 'What? Come on... no, we don't want cookies.'"

All and all, the delightful "Don't Stop" dudes agree that despite the different things they've seen and done in Europe, the greatest experience of traveling abroad is meeting their international fans. "They are so open to new things," energetic Eric raves. "It's great visiting them." And it's surely just as sweet as being home near you!
