Speaking from experience.

Tufanja:
France
In a restaurant I ordered "steak tartare". Not knowing it contained minced raw beef with on top of it a raw egg (google it, you will see!). My face at the moment I discovered it must have been priceless....my friend still bringing up this story at any occasion.

France...again
I wanted to handwash my clothes in the sink of my hostel but instead of buying liquid laundry detergent I grabbed the fabric softener liquid. I was so focussed on finding something nice lavender smelling...

Italy
I was still teenager back then. It was a very classy restaurant where there were fish tanks all around in the interior, even through the glass table you could see fish swimming while eating. You were supposed to point on the fish you wanted to eat and they wld get it for you. I was very fascinated and impressed by the whole experience. When I got a lobster I did act like I was experienced in dining out but I had no clue how to eat the poor thing. I started chewing and chewing. Trying to hide the cracking sounds in my mouth. In the meantime, I tried to act like normal but I started to feel pretty uncomfi. Didn't manage well to keep the conversation going with my mouth full of hard things. I didnt dare to ask the company i was traveling with. Didn't want to come across stupid. Just my face when I spied at other tables and found out that you were not supposed to eat the shell and I was about to leave an empty plate...

Many more embarrassing stories in stock

LOL Damn ! What happened to google translate though ?

OOOh goodness, I remember another one!

France again... The car we hired was seriously running out of fuel because we couldnt leave the toll road earlier. Thank god we made it to the end the toll road. There I wanted to ask the guys where we could find the closest petrol station. But instead of asking for "station-service" or "station d'essence" I asked for "pompiers", which means the fire-brigade . They were pointing us directions...we followed it...to our relieve the petrol station was near the fire department !

After settling down, i took out all my clothes and started pressing them incase of power failure. My friend came out and started laughing @ me. He said you are no more in Nigeria my friend.

Well, same thing happened to me. But now I love tartare so much that I have it every Saturday morning for breakfast. It goes really well with baguette. Sehr lecker!
