Some Travel Funnies

When my sister and I were traveling Australia together, we had made a list of some funny things that people said or did, sometimes culture specific and sometimes just general things. I'd like to confirm a few:

• Americans are always from the state they live in: never from the United States of America, always from Wisconsin, Main, Ohio. It can be considered charming that you, Mr. Vermont, assume that your Vietnamese 21 year old tour guide knows where Vermont is.
• Americans flock together like flies to a pile of dog poop. Doesn't matter if it's in a line up at an airport or a tour bus with 16 people on it, they are drawn together by some unseen force. Let's call it to Obama Force. If you want to pick a Canadian out of the crowd, we are the people talking to the ladies from New Zealand or Norway.
• Asian people talk, loudly, during the English part of the tour if they do not speak English. Everywhere. However, making your English tour guide stop talking while you indicate, loudly, that the behaviour is considered rude, is quite effective.

Great sayings so far in Vietnam:

• Same Same, but different
• Now we enjoy
• I have big size for you

What makes me giggle the most is the bad English translations, though. There was actually a movie at one of the tour sites that had a water source being filled with crap. It was supposed to be crab. At least, according to the pictures they were showing!
