THE STRANGEST (AND FUNNIEST) TRAVEL GUIDE YOULL EVER READThe celebrated authors of the perennial bestseller The 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said set the typical travel guide squarely on its head-taking you from the airport to the hotel, from sightseeing to dining out-by using 100 percent real examples of fractured English as spoken and posted abroad: Feel like shopping?We have no good things to sell.-shop sign, Lovina Beach, Bali Feeling sick?Are you haunted by the horribles? Do you run after your own nose?-Japanese medical form Wondering what to wear?A sports jacket may be worn to dinner, but no trousers.-in a French hotel brochure Wondering where to eat?Grill and Roast your clients! Open for lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch.-slogan of the Hibiscus restaurant in the Jakarta Hilton InternationalBut dont take our word for it, come see for yourself.
