Funny moments


Travel always involves humourous moments - some intentional, some not. I thought we'd list a few of the funnier moments from our trip here:
  • At the hotel in Paris, asking the desk clerk about internet cafes. She had no idea what we meant, until: "Internet? Internet? Ohhh, een-tair-net!" Apparently our French accent was off!

  • The urinals in Verdun (see picture above).

  • CrustyBill trying to subtly take the bartender's picture - over his shoulder - in Luxembourg.

  • The big asparagus statues by the side of the road. Asparagus in Germany is white. Yeah, it looked a bit.... odd.

  • Being unable to work the luggage lockers not once, but twice, in Belgium. We don't do well with Belgian lockers. Not funny then, but a little perspective helps!

  • That huge Hoegaarden glass in Brussels! It was more like a bucket!

  • That darn tour train! It kept following us.... and it never stopped! Where did it come from?!?!? -cb

Are these 2 separate photos? Or do the females step out of their private stall and observe the men lined up at the urinals? Is this considered truly continental way of using le jean?
Not so mensa here

Two photos, one restroom. Yes, the women will observe the men at the urnial. I used the men's stall... I wasn't quite ready for continental peeing.

It's heard by the continentals that it is only in Verdun. Why they ver-dun it that way is a mystery!
