  • restrooms are called water cabinets and men have two separate restrooms- one for # 1 and a different one for #2
  • the overhead bins above on planes are called overhead lockers
  • there were signs that said "Mind your head"
  • in one of our tour brochures when discussing high altitudes, the directions stated that if you start feeling "peckish" you should eat something
  • yield signs state: "give way"
  • carryout is referred to as take away in restaurants
  • trash cans are called rubbish bins
