Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After more than 12 hours on the plane, I have arrived in Schiphol Airport. Somehow, I am not tired, so I let the shuttle take me to the capital city. I go right away to the shops along the Damrak and I buy some Delft pottery, Gouda cheese, and four pairs of clogs. I then go visit the Rijksmuseum. Where am I?
2. After a few days of shopping, I get on the plane again. Now I find myself in the capital of a quaint little country, kind of medieval, where I purchase different necklaces and pendants made of a fossilized tree resin called amber. I am told that the best amber is originally from this area in the Baltic Republic. I ride for a few hours to visit the Trakai Island Castle, which seems to float in the middle of a lake. I learn that the language of the country is related to Sanskrit. In what capital city am I?
3. I spend a few days shopping and sightseeing. Then I meet Mr. François Hollande, who invites me to go in his helicopter to his capital, where I am dropped in the middle of Place Vendôme. I visit all those designer shops to buy some evening gowns for my party, and they are very expensive! Where am I?
4. People tell me I should be tired from all this shopping, but I must continue my quest. This time, I take a train and arrive in a city where the Market Square has the Brewery Museum. I buy all kinds of handmade lace. Ah, and forget the diet, as I must eat the chocolates on my way to the Atomium. Do you know where I am?
5. Now I really have to change the pace. I want to shop, but I need peace and quiet, so I must travel to a different kind of place where lakes and mountains will help me relax. This is a place where everything is so clean. I go by train and arrive in a city where people speak French, but a few kilometers away and in the same country, they speak German and even Italian. To my surprise, I find the headquarters of the United Nations there. And the watches are beauuuutiful! Where am I?
6. My next stop is only a short flight from where I was. I want to buy a nice pair of shoes and a couple of leather purses in the Old Bridge, as well as a real cameo pendant. I've heard that David is waiting for me in the Academy, and I want to have some limoncello ice cream next to Il Duomo. Do you know where I am?
7. Now, for a change of pace, I want something different in my diet. I would like some caviar for lunch and dinner. I want to buy hand-painted lacquer boxes and a Lomonosov tea pot, but most of all, I want to visit the Hermitage and the place where Nicholas and Alexandra stayed with their children. What is the name of this city?
8. I am running out of money, but I need to finish my shopping. I've heard that in the Grand Bazaar I can find hand-embroidered table covers, silk rugs and beautiful handmade jewelry in gold and silver. But, most of all, I want to visit Topkapi and visit Hagia Sophia. Where am I?
9. I am getting tired, but I promised my daughter I would bring her a painting of La Giralda and many pictures of the Alcazar.

10. I am getting tired and ready to drop, but I must finally buy a garnet necklace, a Bohemian glass wine set and a painting of the Charles Bridge.
