- Venturing Venice: A Visitor By : Benedict Yossarian
Scusa mi, dov e’ …? (Excuse me, where is…?)This is a phrase that every visitor must learn by heart. Venetians are inherently amicable so you will have no problem asking for directions.

Most locals speak English, often times better than the tourists’. So don’t fret. Venetians rarely mind being asked for instructions or directions. - The Bottom End of Travel By : Lawrence Pane
I look at it differently. How can you say that you have experienced the local way of life if you haven't used a local toilet.

Sudan is, of course, the almost solid wall of odor that opposed entry into the toilet we were allowed to use at Secret Police headquarters, where we were taken after being arrested.

- The Myths of Travel Insurance By : Patrick Chong
According to the Daily Telegraph, millions of people set off to the sun with the mistaken belief that they don’t need annual multi trip travel insurance because they’re “covered by their credit card.” Most credit cards don’t include holiday insurance, and as a result these people are left with potentially huge bills when they discover they aren’t covered. What cards sometimes offer is travel accident insurance which means an illness is not covered – nor is a bad heart, because it’s not an accident that caused the condition! For peace of mind, those who thought they were covered by their card should get a decent annual multi trip travel insurance policy, to ensure they’re covered against illness, theft, cancellation and loss of luggage.
