Craziness part 5: those Germans

So I was searching all around for the train to the airport when I followed the people with luggage and bam! There it was! I got a ticket, got on the platform, them realized I couldn't read my ticket and essentially had no idea what I was doing. I turned to the man closest to me and asked him in Russian 'i'm sorry, I can't read this. I go here? On train?' and he asked 'you speak German or english?'

It turns out he works for the German embassy in Moscow! His names Joe and he's very nice! He sat with me on the train then helped me buy a plane ticket (there were only a few seats left on the next flight, and the ticket was really expensive. He tried to find a better one but there was none). He showed me my gate, helped me get my boarding pass, then payed for my dinner! (since I hadn't eaten all day and was really hungry). I said thank you so much, and he said he has a 18 year old daughter and he couldn't imagine her being lost in a different country. He just left, and I'm in the airport now. Don't worry! I'll post my pictures when I have a good connection!

Sorry for all the spelling mistakes
