    When I was in Frankfurt, most people spoke English. I never had any problems getting around. Even when I was out on the boonies, there was at least one resident English speaker who would be called upon to help me. In one city, I was trying to order my pizza without anchovies and the waiter and the cook couldn't understand. So they grabbed someone from a few houses down the road to help me. I think you'll be okay! Just enjoy!

    Your arguments have reminded me how precious the right to choose is.
    And because I've never been one to play it safe, I choose to try.

    Pretty much the only German you'll ever need to know.

    For what it's worth! As Ray said: English probably won't be a problem, although they'll probably appreciate it if you at least attempt a greetingin German ("Guten Tag! Ich kann nicht gut Deutsch sprechen. Sprechen sie Englisch?")

    As for travel between Frankfurt and Dusseldorf, you're more than likely looking at rail in terms of speed, efficiency, and cost. I would try the Deutsch Bahn website (https://www.bahn.com/en/view/index.shtml) for itinerary and reservations. Trains in continental Europe tend to be quite good, although the current cold snap might be putting a crimp in things...

    I had to wake my happy ass up at 645 AM to go to work at 730 so I could do Like...an hour or so of computer training then they said I could leave because I wasn't entered into the system to run a register. After factoring in my morning redbull, made roughly five dollars today.

    For fucks sake.
    There is a darkness in you. In all of us, probably. Beasts we keep chained. Ordinary men have to keep the chains strong, for if we let the beast loose then society will turn upon us with fiery vengeance. Kings though...well, who is there to turn upon them? So the chains are made of straw. It is the curse of kings, Helikaon, that they can become monsters. And they invariably do.

    Well y'goobers. If y'all link me some threads I'll update it. My copy paste was from 2007 or something. I'm sure we had other AC winners too.

    Fair Enough!

    I don't mean to be all passive aggressive and bitchy, but this is the thread for passive aggressive bitchyness, so I wanted to stay in character and such.
