- nha trang, in vietnam, is actually pronounced "nhé jen" (the 'e' in 'nhe' is like the one in 'yes').

- there is no concept of queues (lines) in egypt. 

- in asia, it's considered offensive to show the sole of your feet or to touch someone's head. 

- hippos hang out in the water, mate underwater, give birth under water, nurse underwater, feed and defecate underwater. they can stay up to 5 minutes underwater. their closest relatives are the whales. 

- i heard "i've got a feeling", by the black eyed peas every single night i went out. therefore, it's the trip's theme song and a guilty pleasure.
