"Do you speak english?" - "Non!"

[3.8.-4.8. Straßburg] Since i have written this assignment about earthquakes, fires and whatever else in middleage Strasbourg last year, i wanted to go there and have a look by my own. I was pretty sure, i could find my way through town without a map cause i studied all the old maps in the library to see what was destroyed etc. Well, i was wrong! All i could find were lots of german tourists and some names of the streets i could remember. But Strasbourg is a beautiful town with many small streets apart from the tourist-stream, a nice river (guess what: tourists on boats, like an invasion) and a pretty good U-Marche where they have 22 different kinds of Camembert - welcome to France! On the camping-site however there was this friendly kind of guy, who refused to speak english, when i asked him. But when he was annoyed that i couldn´t understand his french (I still have the "Faix pas tas farouche-Level") he explained it in proper english ...
