True, I just thought it was interesting that different German speaking regions/countries had different greetings besides Guten Morgen, Guten Tag, and Guten Abend. I wasn't totally confused, more or less curious as to the fact that they were different. Though no matter where I go Incould still get away with Guten Morgen, Guten Tag, and Guten Abend, amd then explain that my German isn't the best. So maybe I could avoid embarrassment and being laughed at that way, I don't know, just thinking here.
