On our trip we noticed some interesting terms:
- Pay phone booths are called phone cabinets
- 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
