Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My trip began in Munich, or München, as it's called in Germany. The hotel clerk told me that Munich is the capital of a German state, but I forget which one. Where in Germany is Munich?
2. I've always wanted to attend the Oktoberfest in Munich...lots of beer and oomm-pah-pah music. Last year, I arrived in mid-October, but found that the festival was already over. When is the Oktoberfest held?
3. Next, I went to Prague, an absolutely fantastic city. A major river runs right through the city, but I'll be darned if I can remember its name. Do you know?
4. My first meal in Prague was held at a 'samoobslusha', and the variety of foods available reminded me of this type of eating establishment:
5. Next stop: Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Up until 1919, it used to be called something entirely different, but I can't remember what. Do you know?
6. It was then off to Hungary and its spectacular capital, Budapest. I've always wanted to visit Budapest ever since I heard the music of a famous Hungarian composer who wrote the opera 'Bank Ban'. Do you remember his name?
7. When it was time for dinner in Hungary, I went to an 'etterem' (restaurant with a large selection of menu items). On the table were the usual salt and pepper shakers but there was something else, common to many Hungarian recipes. The name of it is on the tip of my tongue...literally.
8. One of my last stops was in Vienna, the capital of Austria. I was just in time to catch a performance at the Donauinselfest, but I forget the musician that was playing. There is a particular type of music heard at this festival, so I must have heard this performer.
9. Even though I'm trying to watch my weight in Vienna, I just had to have a famous pastry that is part of the Viennese culinary culture. Do you remember what this 'calorie buster' was called?
10. My tour came to an end in Salzburg, Austria, the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for "The Sound of Music." I stopped at a McDonald's and while I was carrying my Big Mac combo to a table, I stepped in something that was definitely not on Ronald McDonald's original menu. I asked the girl behind the counter if dogs are allowed in the restaurant. She giggled and said that most tourists ask the same question. What was her answer?
