Fried Banana
I love trying to learn new languages when I’m traveling through a foreign country. I’m never really the type to be shy saying it wrong because that way I can learn from my mistakes faster. If someone was trying to learn English, I totally would understand their struggle and help them build their confidence in any way I can. And when I’m traveling, knowing how to say the food is key…especially the way I love to eat. But the other day I ran into a huge discovery. I was trying to find some fried bananas. If you ever run across them, you must try it. In thai, it sounds like “guay tod” but I kept saying “quay tod”. After repeatedly asking around for it and tons of laughter from the locals, booyah, I found it. At first I thought they were laughing because of my horrible thai sounding tones. Let’s face it, I would laugh at myself too. But then when I told my thai friend this story of my journey for “quay tod”, she finally explained to me I was asking everyone where to find fried penis! Hmm, no wonder the lady boy asked for my number.
