There have been different questionnaires on this forum, which is nice. But... I wonder if you know the answers to the following questions (about Europe).
I'll check your answers in the evening cause I have to work all day. Good luck everyone!
1 Which river can be seen from your hotelroom if you are staying at the Hilton Boedapest Hotel?
2 Which European city has got the most bridges?
3 Which sea is situated between Ireland and England and borders to one of the oceans?
4 What's the name of the longest river of Western Europe?
5 In which European city is the biggest company of waste incineration (garbage) in the world situated?
And 3 questions just for fun about the WORLD;
1 Which country has got the most sheep? 2 Which city in Mexico is famous because of its beaches? 3 What's the name of the only country that gets crossed by the equator and the tropic of Capricorn?

About the world: 1 maybe I should have added 'in terms of wool production' 2 Acapulco = correct 3 Brazil =correct
Bravo!
About Europe:
1 Danube = correct (Danube is the SECOND longest river of Western Europe, so take another guess for number 4, Newcomer) Posted by newcomer (Member # 1056) on :
I guess it depends whether you include Russia in western Europe or not ...in that case it would be the Volga
Posted by soozi (Member # 11108) on :
Most sheep in either Australia or New Zealand?
Posted by desertgirl (Member # 12450) on :
1 Australia is correct Soozi.
Newcomer, Russia is not included in Western Europe (at least not in this question)... so no, it isn't the Volga either. Try again!

Bridges=Venice?
Posted by ????? (Member # 12336) on :
The Rhine is the longest river in Western Europe The Irish Sea is located between Ireland and England.

The Rhine is indeed the longest river in Western Europe.
About question n° 3: The Celtic Sea borders to one of the oceans.

Hmm, the Danube is 2850 km (1771 miles) and the Rhine is 1,320 kilometres (820 miles). So I guess it depends where western and eastern Europe are.
Also, you may be interested in this: "Far up north in Germany the city of Hamburg lays like an emerald surrounded by hundreds of waters in the middle of Europe. Most people do think that Venice in Italy is the city with the most bridges, but it's not - it's Hamburg! There is water wherever you look at. Small cute canals run like veins inside the city centre." http://www.globosapiens.net/travel-information/Hamburg-755.html
It seems that someone is questioning Venice's long -held claim Posted by Exiled (Member # 14410) on :
errrrrrrrr China has most sheep and cows
Baaaaaaaaaa Moooooooooo Baaaaaaaaaa Moooooooooo
Posted by desertgirl (Member # 12450) on :
ok Exiled, if you have counted them I feel obliged to say your answer is correct too.
Newcomer, you are right about the distinction between western and eastern Europe.
And the answer to n°5 = Rotterdam (in the Netherlands).
Thanks for taking part! Have a lovely weekend everyone.
