There is just nothing like that feeling of getting off a train, or plane in a foreign city. Especially when it is in a foreign country and English is not the first,or second language. What a challenge.
My first foreign city was Rome. All the information I read before leaving the US suggested to me there would be no difficulty with not speaking Italian, that many people in Rome spoke English. All I can say is WRONG! But, maybe that was just my experience. In Many European Cities, English is not a problem.
