That's cool, Khell! Now that I think about it, you're probably also familiar with a lot of the major sights in that episode, right? Actually - all of them. *lol* I even know how to pronounce "Viktualienmarkt" - that's the one Amanda and Dotty looked up on the map and couldn't pronounce. The market area. Even been to most of those sights myself. Believe me, that episode kept me on the edge of my seat - among other things because I almost constantly went "Yeah, been there. Been standing RIGHT THERE - and if they turn around now, they'll see the Hofgarten! That cafe's not there anymore, though." *lol*
