Didn't go to Munich...hard to explain why.
I went to St. John's, Nfld. Nice place, but small. Nice scenery around the city.
One negative thing - my hotel was far from downtown, where the action is.
Re thick, hard to understand accents - I only met one person like that, but a lot of people had trouble understanding meee!
Highlight of my trip: I was walking down the street, lugging heavy shopping bags. A middle aged woman (a stranger) pulled over ahead of me, offered me a ride to my hotel! How heart warming. That would NEVER happen in Toronto...not sure about the rest of Ontario.
