I have travelled around Europe a bit and I have usually found that the best way to get to know a country is not always to look at its famous sights but to talk to the local people. Sitting at a pavement cafe or in a little bar and talking to the people who actually live there can reveal things which the guidebooks don't always mention. So if you see a middle-aged Englishman looking hopefully in your direction in your local bar or cafe, don't dismiss him as a loony - it might just be me hoping for an interesting conversation.

Good point about the Ansbach - although that could apply to a whole load of VT drinking tips ;-)
