> Having Interrailed across northern Europe and travelled within a variety of cities without an internet-connected phone, I am now confident in declaring that the average local is terrible at giving directions! Decades ago some friends and I were in Nuremberg and we went to the tourist info kiosk to ask for directions (Americans speaking German), having just arrived on the train. We went outside and I wanted to go one direction and my good friend the other. We argued, in got way more heated than we’d ever been before. Finally he said to me - yes, you are right, that is the direction he said we should go, but that’s not what he meant. To this day I still don’t know what Ryan picked up on that I didn’t, and even Ryan would agree my German is better - but I was wrong and Ryan was right, and the guy at the info kiosk was 100% wrong.
