I was in a place where I only knew a very little bit of the local language when I got lost in a not-touristy area. I asked a woman at a bus stop for directions as best I could and amazingly I understood her response perfectly. I'm sure she was going slow and keeping it simple for my sake but it was still an incredible surreal feeling to understand her so well when I didn't really know the language. The person with me who didn't speak the language at all was really impressed!
