You just want to shower, brush your teeth, have a quick nightcap, and go to bed. First things first…ordering the nightcaps from room service. You dial room service and ask in German, “Can you please bring drinks to our room?” The helpful clerk answers in German, “We will bring it right up.” One down, two to go.

As if on cue, there is a knock at the door. You open it to find the hotel clerk standing there with a single drink in his hand. He chimes in German, “Room service, you ordered a drink?” Oh, this is not getting any easier. You explain in German, “I thought I ordered TWO drinks…you know, for each of us.” He politely replies in German, “I understand the mix-up, but you said ‘drink’ not ‘drinks.’ I will bring you another.” Almost too embarrassed to even ask, you quietly ask in German, “You wouldn’t have extra toothbrushes too would you?” Smiling politely, and earning a HUGE tip, he replies in German, “Yes, we do. I will bring you a couple.”

You cannot believe you allowed your friends to talk you into this, but here you are on yet another road trip - this time, sightseeing in the middle of the night in Germany. As you venture a little too far from the comfort of your hotel, everyone begins to panic as they search the dark streets for the entrance ramp to the seemingly vacant German highway.

You quietly ask again in German, “It can’t be much further…can it? I mean look around, there is nothing anywhere for miles!! How will we ever find our way to the hotel?” The driver, with just the slightest twinge of panic in his voice, replies in German, “This highway has to lead somewhere…right?”
