Germany. I try to order "diet Coke". Only in Germany it's called "Coke light", not diet Coke. The guy comes back with three Cokes -- "zwei Coke", which was what he heard when I said diet. Um. No no no, Di-et Coke, D-i-e-t... er... Thankfully the girl next to me at the bar steps in with "Coke light". Aha! The barman leaves and returns with... three Diet Cokes.
