    Just got asked by a random woman to help pay $25 at a nearby glasses store… she claims to have no cash, no card, and… no phone? Also asked for my phone number so she can pay me back $30. Also she talked slow.

    Carried a handbag and a shopping bag containing a small amount of clothing.

            Oh I see, I couldn’t tell whether it’s me or the girl not knowing the simple scam part lol.

            She was probably by drugs though. My wife ended up buying for her a meal instead and declining the repayment.

    Last night we went to Ravenna Gorge Christmas market, not too far from Freiburg. It. Was. AWESOME. It’s under a train viaduct thing that gets lit up in various colours. It was so atmospheric and fun, we really enjoyed it. Highly recommend if you’re in Germany at Christmas market time.
