The shops were closed as we made our way around the market square, looking for our hotel's street. I took the opportunity to try my German on some passersby, asking for directions to the hotel. Unfortunately my perception of the spelling of the hotel was off, causing me to mispronounce it. One gentleman on a bicycle assisted us, actually escorting us to the hotel. On the way there, he told me about his travels to East Asia (in English, of course). As it happened, we only needed to continue an additional block to find our street, but I appreciated the chance to meet the locals. As we approached the hotel, I waved at some people looking out the window of a neighboring hotel, who amusingly smiled and waved back.
