I don’t travel much, but I did go to India last year. One night we ordered curry for dinner over telephone and forgot to mention that the curry was for foreigners (me and my colleage)
….
That was way too spicy…..

Regarding the pdf, I am abit cofused of the horizontal/vertical sigh, a typo maybe?

Here’s a link if anyone’s interested in the German Road Sign: (the ones in the pdf are almost at the bottom of the page)

Boy, the woman on the bicycle must have got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning! I thought it was rude for her to berate someone just because he was walking on the wrong path. She could have kept it polite and civil by just informing him of his error and explaining the sign. After all, visitors may not understand.

Just my humble opinion.

The biggest mistake had to be getting on the wrong train in Tokyo and getting a little lost. Eventually, I figured things out and managed to get on the correct train heading for Yokohama, but only after wasting two or three hours.
