To keep your record at 100%, avoid a very nice resturant on "the square" in
Mons Belgium. The name escapes me at the moment, but if not for my "pigeon
German" I don't think I could have understood enough to order there.
Interestingly enough, the waiter didn't speak German too well either and I've
no clue about Flemish or French. Was good food though....

Yes, some times it is inconvenient, but if I really needed something I could
always find someone who spoke english. In restaurants I sometimes
just point at something on the menu, I learned a lot about dishes that
I would otherwise never have ordered.
