10 Random Thoughts from my Trip to Europe
10. How does Emirates ever win awards for it's service? 90% of it's cabin staff are surly to the passengers. However, the food and entertainment system are good.
9. It's not fair to avoid discussing the price of taking someone to an island in a lake before the trip, pretending not to understand - but then start the bargaining when you've got to the island and there is no other way back apart from swim. It's not fair, but it's not stupid!
8. Is there any other Airport in the world with a duty free sex shop apart from Vienna?
7. Dubrovnik would be a million times better without German and American tourists. (Then again, everywhere would be a million times better without German and American tourists?)
6. If a Prime Minister admits to winning an election by lying morning, noon and night, is that really a surprise? After all, he is a politician. Maybe the ex-Communist countries in Central Europe haven't got cynical about democracy yet.
5. The locals in Medujorge have forgotten that pilgrims go there to pray, not shop.
4. Why do some blokes think they can chat up the female cabin crew while they're preparing the meals at the rear of the plane? Perhaps that's why they were so surly.
3. Slovaks defied the Communists by going to Church up to twice a day. Churches in NZ are generally half-empty on a Sunday Morning (and there are no other obvious civil disobedience movements) so while we moan about them our Government isn't that bad.
2. How many other people have ever mananged to tick every red box on the NZ MAF Screening form?
1. Does opening an ice cream shop in Dubrovnik and calling yourself "Kiwi Ice Creams", but not stocking Hokey Pokey constitute false advertising?

I agree on the last one. I was taken to the Kiwi Ice Cream shop off Oxford Street the other weekend only to find there was not only NO Hokey Pokey, but nothing at all that indicated it was a Kiwi ice cream shop.
As I left another girl in an Otago rugby jersey commented on the lack of Hokey Pokey and as I did, turned round and left without a purchase!
