[EU] Unusually high latency

[Krisom]

By unusual I don't mean the unusual physical misplacement of Europe servers being stationed somewhere in Canada. Before I give you a nice trace route I would like to show you where Europe is


Europe

And now I can give you an example of what is not Europe

Not Europe

Now that we've got that out of the way let us look at some other issue.
