Essential travel research
It seems terribly tacky to blog a third hand link, but this info on German Men seemed far too useful not to share. (Hat tip to London Leben.)
Particularly enlightening is the explanation of German rudeness (see also the useful German phrases). This may explain the two German lads I knew who travelled through Israel having taught themselves just one phrase in Hebrew, which they told me translated as, "Shut the fuck up and speak English."
What's that? You think I should know this stuff already, being as I'm married to a Kraut? Nonono, y'see, my model is the exotic Swiss-Namibian-Capetonian hybrid. Much more complicated.
Oh, and of course you'll want to check out the rest of the site. I'm in hysterics right now over the useful British phrases:
When you want to say, "Get that shit you call food away from me," pronounce it, "No thanks, I'm not hungry."
For "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten in weeks," say "Is there an Indian restaurant around?"
We have at least established that contrary to popular belief, Yanks do have a sense of humour. Good to know.
