Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My plane lands in Hammerfest, Norway, far above the Arctic Circle. There is plenty for me to do outside like ice fishing or watching the reindeer run wild, but I much prefer the coziness and warmth of the inside. I suppose I will pay a visit to the Royal and Ancient Society of which animal, that also appears on the crest of Hammerfest?
2. My next stop is Frampol, Poland. This tiny Jewish town was wiped out by Adolf Hitler in 1939 and still has not been fully rebuilt. There aren't many sites for me to enjoy, but I just wanted to see the town that this Nobel Prize-winning author set a few of his stories.
3. After departing Europe, I land in Asia, specifically the city of Gokarna in Nepal. I arrived on Gokarna Aunsi, which is the day Hindus pay their respects to their fathers. Since all the villagers are performing various celebrations, I will just mosey on over to the Gokarna Forest to relax. What would I find at the Gokarna Forest?
4. I leave Nepal and disembark in a different country, only this time, I have no idea where I am. Although I cannot read them, I notice the signs are in Japanese. It appears this city is famous for its hot springs. I reluctantly check one out, even though I am not a fan. To my surprise, a monkey has decided to join me. What city am I in?
5. I arrive in Coober Pedy, Australia, the Opal Capital of the world. A lot of sites here are underground, but I really want to tee it up on the golf course. I am advised by several locals to wait until night to do so. Why are they advising me to wait?
6. I land in Gisborne, New Zealand, which claims to be the first city in the world to see the sunrise. I am not a happy camper, as I like to sleep in. But I arise and take a taxi to the Stone Studio, a museum dedicated to this green gemstone.
7. My next stop is Moshi, Tanzania. Almost all of the activity in this city involves the mountain on which Moshi was built. What mountain can I absorb the beauty of while I am here?
8. I arrive in Walvis Bay, Namibia where I immediately become smitten with all the sea and maritime activities. In The Raft, possibly the most popular restaurant in Namibia, I am enjoying my catfish dinner, when someone asks me if I know what the word "Walvis" means in Afrikaans. I don't, so I ask her.
What does the word "Walvis" mean?
9. My wife is insistent on visiting the Amazon, so we arrive in Tabatinga, Brazil. Although the town is beautiful, we leave immediately before seeing or doing anything. Why have we left so quickly?
10. After that crazy trip, I decide to just return home to Hazlet, New Jersey, United States. Although not much happens here, it is not unusual to see a celebrity like Bruce Springsteen or Bon Jovi to travel though. Another frequent visitor is the hometown girl, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola of this popular television program. HINT: Sammi is the only cast member to originate from New Jersey.
