Someone asked me for directions today and I was actually able to help them! How cool is that? People ask me things on the street (usually directions) at least once or twice a week. I'm not sure what spawns this phenomenon--I figure I look friendly, I look local, or both. But up until today I haven't been able to answer anyone.
I was a block away from our apartment at a crosswalk when a man asked if I knew where the Musikhalle was. Conveniently, the Musikhalle happens to be across the street from our apartment so not only did I understand what he was saying, I was actually able to provide an answer. Okay, so my answer consisted mainly of pointing and saying yes when he asked "That building there?" but hey, it was an answer. Hooray for me!
