When my mother-in-law (M-I-L) first came to visit us in Europe we took her to Switzerland. She had never been to Europe before so she had some interesting observations...
M-I-L: Wow! They sure have a lot of hospitals here! Every other building is a hospital!
Me: Um....No, that is the Swiss flag flying on those buildings.
M-I-L: You know, I thought there would be a lot more blondes in Sweden.
Me: Well, there might be....in Sweden. We are in Switzerland.
M-L-L: (while looking at large graffiti on wall) Hey, do you think that means the same thing over here as it does in the U.S.?
Me: Actually, no it does not. In fact, when you go to a store here in Switzerland-- and you buy something-- as you are leaving, you should always say to the clerk "Fuck you very much".
For those who have time to burn.....here are my tales of cat vomit, culture shock American-style, faux pas involving large turds and lingerie (not in the same stories thankfully), Gynecology exams gone awry, and other misadventures.....all true (although at times, names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent).
