Every single German speaks fluent English

Not the woman I bought my train tickets from
She didn't speak English at all. Oddly, I can express myself well enough in German, but can't understand others when they speak German. My wife is the opposite. So we had an interesting little triangle going on wherein I would ask something in German, the ticket-seller would respond in German, then my wife would tell me in English what the ticket-seller had said. Very surreal.
Anyway, good job on the paper planes! I hope I find one, but since the prevailing jet stream would need to carry it 3/4 of the way around the planet, I'm not too hopeful...
