Beware of bananas

With two weeks left in Europe, it feels as if the crazy part of the
trip is coming to a close.
Here are some random thoughts that have come to mind:

In France, wifi is pronounced "wee fee", in Indonesia it's called a
'hotspot'

What are you supposed to say when a Buddhist monk sneezes? I was
stumped. Btw.. Ladies..hands off the monk! They can't touch women.

In Tanzania, you really can slip and fall on a banana peel. They
throw them out their bus windows. Look out!

In the London tube, there is a free library of magazines and
newspapers circulated daily.

In Norway a knife is pronounced "ka-nee-foe"

A hand shake in South Africa can get a bit complicated, with snaps,
twists, bumbs and wrist action. If you are a women, you get a limp
handshake and sometimes a weird look.

In Copenhagen, it is not unusual to have a picnic or exercise in a
cemetary.

Ask for Obama at a bus station in Lilongwe Malawi and you'll get a
ball of fried dough.

Your welcome in Indonesia? Sama sama!

Worst job in the whole world: being the guy in charge of the puke
bags on the vomit ferry from Zanzibar.

Favorite thing we heard someone say in Thailand? "Oh my Buddha!!!"
aka - OMG - Said by a young Thai lady to her older white male "friend"

And the plane lands... - bugle call - "you have now flown another on
time flight with Ryanair!"

A hair cut in Indonesia? $2
A hair cut in Spain? €60

Go for a walk in a park in Sweden and you are sure to find people with
ski poles in any season!

A bottle of water in Laos? .50
A bottle of water in Norway? $5

Do not. I repeat. DO NOT eat the duck in your Pho soup in Vang Viang
Laos!

Japanese is easy to read! Just get off at the station that looks like
a smiley face over the little house with a dot on top!
