D users in Munich, Rome, Venice, or Frankfurt?

I'm going to be in Munich from June 24-27, Venice June 28-July 1, Rome July 2-3, and Frankfurt on July 4, if there are any D users in the area who want to meet up. Like your typical American, I can only speak English, though ;-P (I might be able to manage some Japanese...).

In Germany, at least, the only German necessary in order to get along famously is: Ein Bier bitte! Noch ein Bier bitte! Wo ist der WC?

"Wisky" : "oh never mind"; 2) No Beer, I'm driving. 3) No Beer, I have to work tomorrow. (OTOH, http://xkcd.com/323/) 4) No Beer, I'm giving a presentation tomorrow. (OTOH... *Lots More Beer!*)

As a native Norwegian[1], I feel confident in stating that "No
beer!" would be "Kein Bier!", and I believe "No beer for me, thank you, I'm driving." would be "Kein bier für mich, bitte. Ich fahre Auto.". That last one's a stretch of my capabilities, though.

We were occupied by the Germans during WWII. Not that it did much
good to the average Norwegian's German, but I took the time to
actually pay attention in German classes.

Swedish: öl. Finnish: olut. Couldn't resist. :-)
