I cant speak german (though the guy sitting beside me is
german)...
Though I would love to learn german... Afterall, I've always
wanted to backpack the whole of europe... and of coz eating is part
of the programme

How much would such a trips cost? And how long would it take?
I've been fascinated by how some people can cover 9 or more
countries in a month.
A schoolmate of mine says she hasn't finished Paris even though
she was on exchange there for half a year. The Louvre itself takes
at least 4 days to cover. 
Good on you for wanting to eat local, though it won't be
cheap...
