Hmm, that's strange...

I caught the 08:31 bus from my apartments this morning (running a little late for my 09:00 class) and the bus driver greeted me with a very friendly "Guten Morgen!" as I stepped on-board. Quite unexpected but I quickly overcame the shock enough to mutter a "Morgen" back to him before scurrying to the back for a seat next to a more-typical grumpy old Berliner woman. She certainly didn't greet me and didn't even excuse herself when she nearly pushed me out of my seat when we arrived at her stop... okay, I'm still in Berlin.
