Me? i had a teacher who likes to visit lots of places…  
One day, he goes down down the street in Tailand and he sticks his hands in his pockets: **and he feels someone elses hand in there too!** Freaky…

Another time, he went mountain biking, and because he was in an unusual country, the loaner charged him extra (the loaner didn’t know that my teacher knew that language, and could read the sign that he had hanging right next to him). So my teacher tells the man, “How come i have to pay three times the amount that that other man had to pay?”

Geez… don’t you just hate going to another country??? Everyone stares at you and the street vendors charge you extra…

_sigh_
