Top 5 (part 1)

As a homage to the most excellent "High Fidelity" which we both recently read, we thought we would start our own "Top 5" lists on our blog. To kick things off, here is the

TOP 5 LIES THAT WE ARE TOLD AS TRAVELERS:

1. The shower water is hot.

2. The water we put in your juice/ice is purified.

3. The bus has a toilet.

4. We like Americans, really. (Bolivian border police)

5. The dog can sing. (Sorry Eddie, but that did not count as singing...)

Number 2 has had particularly unpleasant consequences for us, resulting in problems with number 3, as you can imagine. More top 5´s to follow...
