Wed Nov 19, 2008 10:11 PM CST : Have you had any funny travel experiences
This was from an article I recently read on MSN.com

Toilet story No. 1

I was practicing my Italian at a coffee bar in Assisi. I'd seen my Italian friend Liana avoid a charge for water by asking for it from the faucet, so I did the same. The barman gave me a funny look, but I felt proud of myself as I watched him fill the glass at the sink. When I told Liana about it later, she burst out laughing. Instead of asking for water from the rubinetto, I'd asked for it from the gabinetto (toilet). Celia Orona, Lakeside, Calif.

That is scary. It is hard enough adapting to a different culture without running into someone like him. It is a good thing you got away!
