Dear friends. Here is another funny experience I had while travelling. I was once visiting a very nice City, very beautiful, many things to see, and people are very friendly. I took taxis when moving about in the City. One question the taxi drivers would ask me was "Where do you come from ?". Well, I would answer and let him know the country I came from, in a very polite way. But, when the drivers kept on asking this same question every time I took a taxi, I got a bit bored. So, one time, to be friendly , I answered "I come from heaven". He then asked "Oh, where is that ?". I said "I am not sure". I suppose he sensed I didn't want to say , so he stopped. Another time I took a taxi , the same question came. And, I answered "I come from heaven". He asked "Oh , is it very far ?". I said "Yes, very far". He didn't continue. Very lucky ! I was scared he might ask "What airline did you take ?" Ha ha ! I would then be totally at a loss. I wouldn't know what to answer then !! LOL !! That was an exciting experience ! Did you have similar funny experiences in your day to day life , at home or while travelling ? Would be nice if you could share them with us here.

Yes. Oneday, while I was shopping I saw some beautiful ornemnt seller who was screeming out of his voice saying that he sells them for only a sum of Rs 50/=. Being a lover of ornements I too went there and while I was looking at those, a chinese girl came there and she picked up a nice piece of ornemant and asked the seller how much and to my surprised that man said it's Rs 500/=. When I looked at him, he said that this chinese girl doesnt know our language and that he could get more money from her. Then I argued with him and said that it's a very cruel thing to do. This chinese girl listened to us with a smile and gave the seller Rs. 50/= and said that she not only understand our language but she could speak too. The seller was so embarrased and you should have seen his face at that time.

That's very interesting. Yes, that also happens in many places where tourists go to. Thank you for sharing.
