[QUOTE="Numisnewbiest, post: 4102923, member: 99613"]I have a funny story about Freiburg. Well, it's funnier now, so many years later. On my very first night in Germany with the Army, I hopped on a train to visit an Army friend who was stationed three hours northwest of me, in Friedberg (just north of Frankfurt). Somehow, I ended up three hours southwest instead, in Freiburg. I must have pronounced it incorrectly when I bought my ticket. I thought maybe the young pair working the ticket window at the Freiburg train station would understand my dilemma and let me get on the right train for another three hour ride north, but no - they had a good laugh instead and made me buy a new ticket.
