It's just a vibe I get...

So I'm in the Frankfurt airport wearing green cargo pants, a pink UT Longhorns Swimming shirt, and tennis shoes and the whole time I am looking rather non-Arab. A lady approaches me and pointing to a bathroom, asks me in Arabic, "Is this bathroom for ladies?" I replied that it was, she thanked me, and I told her she was welcome, all in Arabic.

How did she know that I would understand her?

  1. It was probably the hip scarf you were wearing. That is always a give away.

  2. News flash, she spoke to you in German. You only thought she was speaking Arabic. The two languages are very similar.
