Sorry, English?

i don't know how many times i've said this in the past few days and gotten head shakes in response. it's so sad. no one at work speaks english. my boss speaks some english but he's always busy or in frankfurt. his secretary speaks no english at all. the guy that i share an office with speaks very little english. they're all very nice though. yesterday they got me tea and grapes. today i showed the guy that sits next to me a satellite image of MIT using wikimaps. we found our workplace and then he showed me where he lives. the guy lives like 120 miles away and can get to work through an express highway in 1 hour! i was very impressed.
