Ni hao. Welcome to Germany.

On the train to Frankfurt, after having to kick them out of our seats, we had a nice exchange with a group of Chinese tourists. First we explained the seat reservation system to them, since the group of 13 kept on sitting in reserved seats and then had to move when the passenger with the reservation arrived. (Turns out they even had a reservation -- two cars down. Oh well.) The funniest was when they asked us how Germans spend their Sundays. They noted, "you don't work, the shops are closed, what do you do?" We mentioned a few of our pastimes -- reading, going for a walk, spending time with family -- to which they inquired, "do you climb mountains?" Um, no. We don't climb mountains on Sundays.
