Germans know nice English ...
We had been under the impression that it is difficult to find people who know English, in Germany, when we reached there. Since we reached there early in the morning when currency conversion shops were closed, we could not convert it. And first 3 to 4 hours we roamed there absolutely without any money (in native currency) with us. Since we wanted to utilize each and every moment of the the time that we had, we had already seen many of the tourist places on foot itself, and were at Brandenburg Gate, when we realized that shops would be open at that time and we should convert some money. We started searching for any such shop / bank, and asked one fellow, a policeman, about it. To our pleasant surprise, that fellow not only knew English, he was actually speaking very good English. He directed us to the correct place where we could get the currenct conversion done. We started discussing that how wrong an impression we were having about Germans' english knowledge ... and all that ... It was only while returning that we realized, that the policeman we had talked to, was actually a security guard of British embassy ... :)
