Do I look Austrian?
For some reason, in every city I visit, I always get stopped and asked for directions. Yesterday, this occurred 4 times. In three cases, the people asking me for directions spoke German. In one case, the tourists were from England, but they thought I was a local.
I don’t think I look the slightest bit Austrian. But perhaps I don’t look like too much of a tourist, either.
Anyway, I couldn’t help any of them get any closer to their destinations in Vienna. Of course, I don’t think I can give good directions in Seattle or San Diego either, I am notoriously bad with my sense of direction and I am a slave to my GPS device.
