Haha!Last time I was in Germany, total strangers kept asking me for directions. In German. And not all of these strangers were German. I don't speak a word of German, but can only assume I have the look of a native. It was bewildering.
Either that, or I'm stupid for being surprised by people talking German in Germany. Yes, that sounds more likely...

last time I was in germanyI was asked the way to the youth hostel.
Which was astonishingly convenient as "where is the youth hostel" is the only non-beer-related phrase I know in German and I was coincidentally on the way to the youth hostel.
ever start a sentence and wish you hadn't bothered?

At least you came out of that looking less stupid than me.Germany and Germans are lovely, but the diet of würste und bier doesn't really agree with me.
