I work in K12 schools.  A young woman who was filling out a form asked
me "what is a precinct?".  I said "it's a division of some governmental
area like a ward or something."  She started to rattle on, "I don't know
what a precinct is.  I'm from Germany and I have no idea what..."  She
was filling out a scholarship form.  I helped her find out
what precinct she lived in by having her call the city offices.  Any
way, I said "what town are you from in Germany?".  She said "Wolfsburg,
they make some Volkswagens there."
I said "No kidding,  I have two of them."  She got confused.  I don't
know why.
But I had to clarify that I had a Jetta that was a Wolfsburg edition
and a Vanagon that was one too.

I just thought it was strange to meet someone from there in a medium
sized High School in Northern Illinois.
