I believe that all of us already lived funny situations (when not embarrassing) because of the experience in different cultures that we are not that used to. And if we didnt passed through it, for sure we know someone who has made a fool of himself, so the purpose of this post is to share funny situations to brighten up our day and even help that other do not make the same mistakes of us.
Well, Ill start and than you keep going below, okay?
My story is about a brazilian guy who was studying English language in Ireland, so during his job in a restaurant a customer thanked him: ‘Thanks a Million!’, so he misundertood and asked to another staff member: ‘Where is Emilio?’, and this is the reason of laughs until now hahaha
Well, Im not gonna judge him cause all the Brazilian exchange students have already lived tense moments in Ireland since the Irish accent is quite strong and then we end up making fool of ourselves at simple situations.
Ill tell you also my own experience: I was in Spain, in Barcelona, when I ordered a dish of cod salad, believing it would be as usual as it is in Brazil: a baked cod fillet accompanied by a mix of vegetables.
Well, I was hungry waiting for the main dish when the waiter handed me a plate of RAW fish fillets!!!
I tried to disguise my regret and thanked the waiter, but my friend did not hold back the laugh for noticing my reaction of sadness after I realized what I had ordered!!!
Well, lucky me that in the end the cook was a gentleman and grilled my fish hahaha
