My elder brother told me how he used a liquid soap he bought as a body cream for almost one year before his German roommate that could read Italian discovered his folly.Same thing with packaged dog food in an attempt to try new thing.Whats your own experience?

not sure if this fits what y'all are asking fer, but i reckon i'll give you a heads up. one time i was feeling ornery and decided to leave texas for a gander at california. didn't take long for me to get my pick-em up truck turned around and back to the friendly state. here's why. first time i asked for barbacoa and a big red, the guy behind the counter looked at me like i wasn't speaking english. how the heck them folks stay regular is beyond me

Is that a pita? Looks good.

that is no pita. that is a genuine barbacoa taco. (with onion and celantro) some people prefer pico de gallo as a garnish though. you wash it down with a big red

I have no idea what you asked for either. Ok. Your experience when you travelled to non English speaking country.I gave example of my brother who travelled to Italy and because he didnt understand their language,he mistook liquid soap for body cream and used it as such until his friend corrected his folly

I never make such mistakes. Ever! But I will tell you about my cousin who travelled to visit my family from another country. She was using dish washing detergent as shampoo.

My first day here in Israel.... I ride in a bus from Kibut Saad to Tel -aviv. My siter forgot to tell me how to pay the fare. So i just ride on the bus and go at the back and sit down thingking that i will pay my fare before i dro!p but the driver stop the bus and come to me speaking in Hebrew. Thinking he is asking me where will I drop by so i am answering him Tel-avi. Tel-aviv. Better i have a co Filipino setting at my back and tell me go and pay your fare. I fell so shame on that time.
