If you think I post a lot of travel news and links, wait till you read Mike’s Vagabondish<\/a> blog. He shares my fascination with odd\/funny\/weird\/interesting travel news.<\/p>\n

There’s that post about a plane getting hit by lightning<\/a> and the pilot who taped his scalp back on<\/strong><\/em><\/a> after surving a plane crash. He also shares interesting links, like this one site that shows real time world statistics<\/a> (it’s mind boggling, I tell you), and a site that shows how the world would look like without man<\/a>. <\/p>\n

He also shares great travel tips, specially for backpackers who are planning for their round the world trip. There’s his entry about fighting malaria without medication<\/a>, and a link to GoBudgetTravel’s Budget Travel Costs of 94 Cities around the World<\/a>. A great resource for everyone who’s planning a trip anytime soon.

\nMy favorite though is the entry Travelers Who Shouldn\u2019t: Traveler Comments That Make You Say \u201cDuh!\u201d<\/a> That list of comments is a killer!<\/p>\n

\n

\n
• What language do they speak in England? (Swahili. Would you like to purchase our “Learn Swahili in 10 Easy Steps” manual?)<\/li>\n
• The hotel would have been fine but all the employees were speaking Spanish. (The next time you are in Mexico, we will order some French-speaking Mexicans for your convenience.) <\/li>\n
• Does the water go all the way around this island? (Not on Tuesdays.)<\/li>\n
• Is this a wide-body plane? (Yes.) Good, because my mother has a big butt. (I imagine this was followed by a swift upper cut.)<\/li>\n
• Do you know what time the midnight buffet starts? (They are cutting costs, so now it is offered between 4:30 a.m. and 4:35 a.m.)<\/li>\n
• Will the 24-hour caf\u00e9 be open if I need to get a bite at 6 a.m.? (Ask the woman in line for the midnight buffet.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
