I've been touring here Germany for 2 weeks, and I'm noticing something peculiar...say I'm in a store, and I see a cashier talking to someone in German, right? Then when I go up, she'll say "How are you today?" or "My English not very good, hope you understand me still." I've also been asked a number of times "Are you from America?" even though I said nothing at all!
How do people tell right off the bat that I'm an American?!? It's not like I walk around with an American flag patch on my sleeve! I'm pretty baffled!!!
