POST #12—SIDE TRIP

How far to the botanical gardens?

Weren't there directions in your book Part of the World for Cheapskates?

Is this the church/mosque/temple/spirit place?

Is this a cemetery?

Is this an apartment building?

Is this a monastery?

Do people live here?

Is this a school?

What do they make at this factory?

What are all these barrels for?

Put your American money away.

Do you think we're supposed to be here?

Is that man a policeman/militia/security guard/priest/teacher?

That Mister Grapefruit sure was a friendly fellow. I understood a lot of what he was saying.

I thought the tour bus was going to wait for us here.

How long will we be in this taxi?

How far is the border?

I didn't think you could get ten people in a car this size.

Can you see out the window? Is that your shoulder in my armpit or someone else's?
