I also made this mistake. You can find a gondola at Vail, so technically Vail should have worked for this question as well. I think the question needs to be changed to avoid ambiguity.
Pretty easy for me. I misspelled Vail at first as Vale, maybe that's why some others missed it. It also likely helped to get Varanasi that I've been there.
Only one I missed. Never heard of it. I have lots of trouble remembering the lesser known cities in India and China. I'll check out your quiz and maybe I'll get this one correct, at least.
He was born in Salzburg, but spent a lot of his life in Vienna. Though I might have said that Strauss was a more obvious choice for a composer associated with Vienna.
Salt and yeast extract. Just moisten a veggie bouillon cube and spread it on bread, and you've pretty much got the gist of it. My daughter brought a jar back with her from her study abroad in Australia - sorry, but it just wasn't my thing.
For yeast extract, I put marmite. On realising it was a v quiz, i put veggie marmite. When i found out the real answer, i was QUITE annoyed (Plus, since when is Vegemite geography?)
Everything is from somewhere, it reduces the meaning of the word geography to nothing by saying that.
People always get testy and reply with that Human Geography Wikipedia article, but I'd bet you they haven't read it. Look at the examples it gives and they are way more common-sense than vegemite or vuvuzelas.
Just because QM puts the name of a country in the clue doesn't make it geography.
good quiz, ashamed to miss some of the most obvious ones. Kept typing vesuvio... haha and couldnt get versailles and varanasi on time. Never heard of vail tho..
