Classic German

I realized that I am in fact learning German when I was able to understand this unusual sign I saw when walking by a hospital in Martinsried.
"Hubschrauber Flugverkehr - Drachensteigen verboten!"
That is some classic German.

And then on the same trip as I was waiting in the airport to get on the plane a Lufthansa employee came by and conducted a little interview with me about my travel habits and plans for statistics - and to my enjoyment without switching to English. It was like an extended German class exercise.
