It was something I heard but I also actually experience last year in Dusseldorf...
We were visiting the Euroshop (it is a major trade fair for retail shops). Now, there is 100.000 people in Dusseldorf for it but 'Can you take us to the trade fair please' or 'Can you take us to Euroshop please' did not really do the trick with the taxi drivers... Just saying 'messe' did... ...I do not buy it that the didnt know what we were trying to say.
...the only taxi driver I had a decent conversation with was this Turkish chap who could speak really really good Greek he claimed he learnt at his favorite Greek cafe. Go figure...
