Post all your funny stories from travelling, being on the road etc.

 

 

 

Mine;

 

 

 

We were on a long-[wagon] motorway, and I had needed to pee for hours, I couldn't hold it in so I had to pee in a bottle and tip it out of the window, it splashed on the car behind ours' windscreen, it was raining so I guess the guy didn't noticed. :lol:

Good idea!I was in China last year and having failed Chinese since I was like 8,I had no idea what anyone was saying.Seeing locals spit all over town didn't help my opinion of them either...One point in time everyone on the bus except me (I was travelling with my family) was asleep and no lights were on.No,I didn't do THAT I put their hands in warm water...I was the only one who pee'd the next day.They had dry pants too :evil:

I was in Australia with my uncle's and my family when i was 7.

 

So we go lost one fine night... We decided to ask a local for help.

 

Uncle: How do we get to *hotel name which i don't remember*

 

Local: *some gibberish in Australian accent*

 

Uncle: Okay thanks. *Closes door*

 

Uncle(a few seconds after driving off): Anyone understand what he just said?

 

:lol:

can you tell me about china? I am going on a school trip for 12 days to china at easter.

 

None of my mates wanted to come just loads of lower school kids, why is life so mean to me?

Depends on where you're going...I stayed within the +8 timezone around ShangHai and NanJing.Though honestly,smaller towns have more pretty girls,they all speak fast in Chinese,faster than I can catch,and most people spit anywhere they want.I went around their Autumn and it was cold compared to Singapore,so I dunno...Easter is probably Spring.

Going all around. Stop at beijing to get connect flight to shanghai. Stay for 3 days in shanghai. Visit great wall, three gorges dam, teracota army, 4 day cruise. We alos do the overnight train to Xian or somewhere with a name like that. Thats all I remember off the top of my head.

I think the universe hated my mom and I for that one day back in 2003. We were going to London for a holiday when I still lived in the Philippines. First, my mom couldn't find out passports and we were nearly late. When we got to the airport, the check-in lady told us we missed our flight that took off on hour ago. This was because we though our flight was at 10 when it was actually at 8pm. So yeah, we got there at 9. We had to wait for two hours and pray that the next flight had two spare seats. We finally got to check in but then. BUT THEN... earthquake.

 

 

 

Nothing big though, everything just started shaking and we had to run outside. My mother was freaking for we left out passport and luggage back inside. Everything that could go wrong just happened right there. At least no one was hurt...

My friend once told me that when he was in China (Everything is in China...), he had to pee in a bottle because there were no restrooms. I wonder what he did with the bottle...

 

Though I travel quite a lot (Or at least I used to), I don't really have any especially interesting stories. I suppose I could share a ton of stories about my trips to Taiwan, but there are way too many. My Chinese has failed me a few times, but nothing major...

 

So the only somewhat exciting thing I have to say is about the time I went to Singapore, when I was 2. We went to a beach, and I ate a bunch of sand. Still not very special... #-o

My hliday up north to Scotland was great. Thatw as 4 years ago though.

 

 

 

Loled when i was told my dad got his pa to book everything for him. He let her select the hotels! Only two out of five were good. At least I got to visit Murryfield and Edingborough castle. Also I never knew how annyoing girly cousins can be.

is tempting to post some stories from Thailand :shock:

My family just took a 2 week trip to Italy, there were some good stories but this is probably the best. We were swimming in a pool by our hotel, and my sister started talking to this 10 year old girl. Here's the conversation, starting with my sister talking.

 

 

 

"Where are you from?"

 

"New Jersey, where are you from?"

 

"Toronto"

 

"Is that in the US?"

 

"No, it's in Canada"

 

"Where's Canada?"

 

 

 

:wall:

When I lived in Italy, we had to take a ferry to go between the island I lived on, and the island where the Naval Base was. The ride was about 20 minutes long (I timed it once, 18 minutes and I think 20 seconds) each way. We were going shopping on the base, and were on the ferry in the car. I really had to go to the bathroom- had to since we left the store (about 10 minute drive from store to port) and our car was crammed right in the middle of the boat, with cars all around us so close I couldn't open the door to get out.

 

 

 

The ferry had bathrooms, but since I couldn't get out, they were of no use. I tried to hold it, but I eventually got to the point where I was going to wet myself if I didn't get a bathroom within seconds. So I urinated in a bottle. The funny thing was, it was a bottle for lemon-flavored iced tea, so it looked a lot like the real deal. Should've pulled a prank with it.

Haha, we did that at camp when I was 10 or so. We were taking a hike through an area on the camp, when my counselor stopped to go to the bathroom. He went inside a bottle and gave it to another camper and told him it was lemon-flavored water.

Ahaha. I have actually been asked, once telling people that I live in Canada, what happens to my igloo in the summer. Also, I've been asked (NOT by the same people) whether I have troubles with polar bears. No joke.

Dude, that happens to me wherever we travel, whether it be Mexico or Europe. -.-

I have heard some friends say the same thing, they did a trip to Europe, and when they said the came from New Brunswick, the people there asked where in Quebec it was :wall: #-o =D>

Canadians don't have trouble with polar bears or their igloos melting? Wow, technology is advancing fast.
