What's your funniest, most OMG, foreign vacation story you have?

You know, electrical issues, can't read the signs, have no idea how to convert the money, that sort of thing. Give my bored friends and me a laugh :)

Answer 1

Africa safari. The plane was delayed because of co-pilot, then the captain said he would go alone. In flight he propped the cockpit door open, walked to the back of the plane and then announced "Don't worry, the plane is on auto, I'm just using the restroom. The plane hit turbulance and the cabin door locked!
He came out and calmly told all not to worry. With that he chopped the door open with the fire ax! This really happened.
The wild beasts were nothing compared to the plane ride.

Answer 2

Hehehehehhehe. Ohh gosh, i like horses, they are so exciting! sooner or later, till now a lesson while i became incredibly new to using, I delivered my horse into the hoop to mount. He became all tacked up and each thing. there have been some different ladies in the hoop, and that i became waiting for them to apply the mounting block and to get the instructor's approval till now mounting. My horse began pawing on the floor, and then, out of nowhere, he merely laid down, and commenced rolling around the international, in his finished tack, with me merely status there, no longer understanding what the heck to do! And the better section-MY instructor did no longer EVEN notice! She became tightening somebody's girth, and became dealing with any opposite direction. I merely stood there form of puzzled till she rotated and commenced cracking up. I rode in an particularly dusty saddle that day! :D

Answer 3

I plan my vacations pretty well so nothing major has happened to us overseas, but here are a few. In German years ago, we were trying to find our way among the many streets of Munich and we kept seeing the sign that says Einbahnstrasse. My wife said - that must be a big street cuz it is everywhere. Turns out it means "One Way Street"

Answer 4

In Mexico we were trying to find a certain restaurant - it was supposed to be off the first right turn as you got into town. We got to what we thought was the right street and ended up at the gate of a Mexican military base - and a guy with a big gun and grumpy expression. Our sort of ditzy blonde friend said, "Ask him where the restaurant is." Ummmm....no.

Answer 5

Dahab, Egypt

Row of outhouses one side, row of showers the other. Walkway in between. All on one big concrete slab. I go to take a shower and it's very dark, everything is fine until I start to smell something a little funky, then down right crappy! The hole in the ground toilets are higher on the concrete slab. S^#* flows down hill and there is a wide trickle of nasty coming from under the toilet door to under my shower door. Thank God I was wearing flip-flops!

Answer 6

Every exit on the Autobahn in Germany says "Ausfahrt" meaning exit. The touristy thing to do is inquire "man, that is a huge city, every exit goes there?" and the Germans are like "what are you talking about?"
You look like an idiot because you are looking for the huge place called "EXIT" no wonder nobody can find it, there's too many exits!
