6/26/05

10:23 a.m. Anybody been to Puerto Rico? I've been reading THIS BLOG and so far I have obtained the following advice:


1) Don't speak Spanish to the natives or they will think you're a gringo.

2) Don't speak English to the natives or they will think you're a gringo.

3) Don't wear shorts around the natives or they will think you're a gringo.

4) Being a gringo is bad.

5) Don't drive or you will be hit by a car.

6) Don't walk or you will be hit by a car.

7) Watch out for hurricanes.

Here's all you need to know, Polly:
Donde esta el cuarto del bano? (funny thingy over n in bano)
(Where's the bathroom)

Marie is right, Polly - duh! Leave out "el cuarto", and if you have to pee and they have to snicker, so what! :)

I find it interesting that every foreign language class and book teaches you how to ask "Where is the bathroom?", but they never teach you how to understand the answer that the native will give you.

Clearly you must speak French and ride a bicycle. But, still, watch out for hurricanes.
