Country:  | I got a chuckle out of it. Like Douglas Adams's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" says about the planet Earth. "Mostly harmless". That's what it was. | |

Country: | That is interesting. It's always neat to see how foreigners interpret a different culture.

Country: | I've only ever been outside the US to Vancouver and Salzburg. Canadians are very friendly and laid back, and Austrians are pretty cool. I wonder what they think of American tourists.

Country: | Please. These are recommendations on how not to engage with a moron. I can well imagine such recommendations being made about any society whose stereotype is Napolean Dynamite.

Country:  | Napolean Dynamite? Is that Dynamite used by Napolean Bonaparte? My goodness I am surprised they could find any left.... (Just kidding but please explain who or what Napolean Dynamite is?)  | |

Country: | It's a big hit movie over here about a dorky kid with a funny name. Not to my tastes but it's a big hit with other kids.
Salzburg really was a cool place. Frikkin castles and saltmines, how cool!

Country: | The salt mines in Salzburg are great! I really enjoyed riding the little train down into the mines and dressing up in the miners outfits so you dont get your clothes dirty. Done it several times. It is a must everytime you go there.

Country: | Does anybody remember the name of that castle on the hill overlooking the city that has been turned into a museum of sorts, with all sorts of displays from middle age torture devices to WWII german uniforms?
