Tübingen, Germany

Again, really?
I find it really uncanny that I often find myself engaging in the exact same conversation with cab drivers. It goes as follows: Inquiry of what country my family is from, followed by questions about said country. I then profess to having never been to said country, adding that I am not fluent in the…
