Scores of drunk backpackers show up on this tropical paradise in ... more »]]> https://bkpk.me/thai-pride/feed/ 2 https://bkpk.me/lost-in-translation-or-how-to-order-coffee-in-vietnam/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=lost-in-translation-or-how-to-order-coffee-in-vietnam https://bkpk.me/lost-in-translation-or-how-to-order-coffee-in-vietnam/#comments Sat, 07 Dec 2013 06:18:33 +0000 Zara http://bkpk.me/?p=10502
Whenever you read a travel guide, you’ll always come across the typical paragraph suggesting you to learn a few “useful words and sentences” in the local language of the country you are about to visit.

Oh, Incredible India, you never cease to amaze me! We were on our way to the post-office in Delhi when all of a sudden our car had to brake.

India amazes me every single day. In the good, the bad, the funny, the colorful, the smelly, the ugly, the humbling, the tasty, the smiley, the spicy, the bitter… and even when it comes to something as mundane as electricity!

You know you’re in the Andes, when anything and everything can be llama customized!

We were in New Delhi. And we were tired of the smog, the cars honking, the endless confusion and above all, we were missing that tingly feeling you get in your stomach when you travel.
