The Ten Commandments of travel

Spotted on top of my Gmail inbox, courtesty of MSNBC.com.

It’s pretty much common knowledge for people who’ve travelled a lot. To those who’ll be travelling for the first time (or other annoying passengers), this is a good guideline. Particularly commandment number 5:

5. Thou shalt understand that the people in the brochure are not going to be vacationing with you. Corollary: If ye seek beachgoers in thongs, ye will likely find overweight, hirsute seniors in thongs — and they will be equally proportioned between genders.

    lol @ #5! har

    I liked this one, too:
    7. Thou shalt not complain about Mexicans speaking Spanish in Mexico, Italians speaking Italian in Italy, or Japanese speaking Japanese in Japan. Thou shalt further promise to learn a few phrases in the local language yourself so as not to come off looking like an ignorant American.

    That is SO American. Seriously. I’ve seen that in action one too many times. (Americans, don’t get all huffy on me.)

    Lightload Towels three packs are the only towel that is also a tool for the outdoors. Use it as a fire starter coffee filter, water filter, first aid supplement, wind scarf, sweat band and much more. Waterproof packaging covers each piece; that always ensures that the user will have a clean dry cloth.

    Heehee, gomen Amanda, my Amazon thingie puts these links on certain keywords. Funny how “ignorant American” is a keyword. *smirk*

    Reallycool: firestarter? You use your towel to start a fire? O_o

    #7…soooo TRUE. Americans are the only ones who complain that people can’t speak English WHEN THEY’RE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Goddamn.

Before you post...

I read all comments posted here, but sometimes I do not have the time nor energy to answer each one. I try to answer all the questions that have been posted, but if your question have been answered in the post or in the articles linked from the post, I will ignore you. So please read the post in its entirety before posting something. Once again, I reiterate that I am not affiliated with any hotel, embassy or company that have been featured in this blog unless otherwise stated. Also, posting your e-mail address and mobile number for the world to see? Bad idea.
