Thread: What annoys you when you travel?

  1. #1

    Default What annoys you when you travel?

    Well I'll be traveling back to Japan pretty soon and yes I am excited. There's just one thing that bugs me. It seems wherever I go there's always these automated machine announcements practically mollycoddling me! And there everywhere!

    let me give you an example: On the bus "don't forget anything when you get off", on an escalator "watch your step", on the beach "remember to wear sunscreen", outside of department stores "beware of fake beauty solicitors", etc etc

    I spent a fair amount of the time at the beach last summer, and this was the announcements "The wind has changed direction, please adjust your umbrellas" and "The temperature is now 1/2 degree higher, please apply more sunscreen."...

    What bugs me the most is the fact that I don't travel to foriegn countries and I wish I did.

    I suppose what botheres me the most about traveling is if there is some kind of airplane delay and you have to wait like 3 hours for the plane to arrive. Or the way my brother makes it so hard on us to travel cuz all he wants to do is spend time with friends and not family so he makes us all suffer.

    I don't like having to use publkic transportation when I don't know the language or where I'm going.

    (SPOILER)A big part of travelling, for me, is exploring, so I get lost a lot. And when you're lost and you don't know the language, things get tough.

    I love exploring so I uaslly end up roaming the streets until somewhere between 12:00 to 2:00 AM

    But the most annoying thing is when foreigners suddenly start talking to you in half-assed English. They do it to me every time, like when I was in a record store this guy just pops out and say's "Hello-How-Are-You-Doing-Today." I say "umm Hi iam good you?.." He says "I-Like-You-Very-Much." ookkk.

    Usually I get pissed when that happens but I learned to just ignore it and let them have there victory :rolleyes2

    I really hate airports. Loud, chaotic, stressful, and expensive. The only real upside is the ability to see all sorts of interesting and/or crazy people.

    Actually, in some countries, the airport is the only place you can find a toilet that flushes well :sweatdrop

    So they're kinda useful in my book, even though the toilets are not always the, erm, nicest places to be.

    You're snake eyes were ineffective then? ^_^

    The toilets in Italy are scary.
    The toilets in japan are even scarier, well depends can you adjust to speaking with one?

    There's also male urinals in the lady's toilet- why? I don't know. I think its for the mother's young sons who come in with them.

    -Longer flights tend to cause terrible ear pain due to air pressure.
    -My diet tends to get screwed up - it's unbalanced, which leads to... other difficulties...
    -I may have trouble getting to sleep if I find the new location uncomfortable, really unfamiliar, or I'm sleeping in a room with someone snoring - my dad always used to do that when I would go on trips with him.

    i travel to Asia a lot, so obviously these things are on the list:

    - jet lag and being in my seat for over half the day.
    - being able to see the bottom of the toilet.
    - the humidity of summer. it's dry heat in Arizona.
