Bavaria ≠ Germany. :P And that's at least something both sides agree on, mostly...
All jokes aside though, it's amazing how much it takes to get used to hearing "your" language spoken in a dialect different to what you grew up with. Anything north of Kassel is pretty much a-okay, but go further south and I'll be wearing a "?" expression pretty much permanently -- and that's after living 5+ years slapdash in the middle of Swabia.
