Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. For our first night on the trip, we decided to splurge and went to Le Dome. The next day would be busy with seeing a tower and a great cathedral, among other sights, so we needed to be well fed. Our table wasn't quite ready when we got there, so we went to the bar where we told the bartender, "Nous aimerions un verre de Guignolo, s'il vous plait". In what country were we spending our first night?
2. After a few days of seeing the sights in our last country, we left for a country where we would visit the Schwarzwald as well as what was left of an old wall. We would also stuff ourselves with food by telling the waiter "Wir machten Rindfleischrouladen, Spatzle, einem Tomatensalat und ein Bier, bitte". Where did we order such a wonderful, filling, meal?
3. Today we are in a different country and after looking at Gaudi's works we came upon this restaurant where we saw that their special was a favorite mixed rice dish. In order to order it, we had to say, "Me gustaria paella, por favor". After dinner, we had a "Anis". Where were we now on our tour?
4. Soon we're at our new hotel and plan on walking through the Forum. The dinner hour is late here so we decide to have lunch before starting out, to "fortify" us. We say to the waiter, "Vorremmo ordinare Insalata di frutti di mare, seguito da amaretti e caffe". Where are we eating lunch today?
5. Our next destination will make a hungry person weep with joy. We're off to the land of the Magyars, and when we find a restaurant that looks interesting, we'll stop in and say "Szeretnenk megrendelni Szekely Gulyas egy uborkasalataval, kerem". We'll end up with a "Palinka". Where are we today?
6. We're in a new area today, where we've seen the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi already. Now we're hungry and we'll have a late lunch. We find a cafe and say to the waiter, "Biz Hunkar Begendi ve yesil salata istiyoruz, cay takip eden". To what country have we now traveled?
7. We now fly west and end up at an island in the Mediterranean where we decide to have a bite before starting on our round of sightseeing. We find a cafe and ask the waiter, "Meijju ahna ghandna xi Prinjolata u te, jekk joghgbok?"
That should be enough to keep us walking through some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world. Where are we?
8. It has occurred to us that we have completely neglected the Scandinavian countries on this trip, so we run to the airport to correct that error. We make a reservation to the country that is the second least densely populated in Europe and where we can take a cruise on the fjords. When we get there we'll tell a waiter "Svinestek med syltet ristet, blandet grontsager, og poteter og gravy, vaer sa snill". We will finish off with "Aquavit". What country have we hurried to?
9. After the chill of the northern clime, we decided to head west to the largest country in South America. It's so big, in fact, we had to spend more time there to even begin to scratch the surface of the things to see, like the Opera house in Manaus, the wetlands of the Pantanal, and of course, those glorious beaches. I couldn't wait to tell a waiter "Queremos, a feijoada. arroz, couve e profunda banana frita, por favor". Where are we about to eat the national dish?
10. Ah, just one more country and we'll be home, well fed and fatter than when we left. But having seen such sights and dined so well, we can't complain and will simply have to up our exercise routine. We're now off to the land of the Aztecs and Tenochtitlan. We'll find a restaurant cafe in a southwestern part of the country, and say to the waiter "Nos gustaria mole de pollo, arroz, y rodajas de pepino, Gracias". In what country have we ordered this meal?
