#TTOT Shout Outs! Topic: Travel Confessions

Oh Father, it has been but seven days since our last confession…or to put it more accurately, our last delightful dip into the wicked world of Travel Talk On Twitter, but little did we know the kind of debauched admissions that would come out of the mouths of the #TTOT community this week. From pilfering the free shampoo to getting caught short with their trousers down, seems we’ve got enough proof from this session to put some of these chaps in the clink for an evening or two! But heck, we ain’t no snitch…so we’ll just immortalise your sins for the world to see.

The questions this week were:

Q1. Tell us your biggest cultural faux-pas!

Q2. What’s the most ‘touristy’ thing you’ve ever done…and loved?

Q3. What’s the worst thing you’ve ever said while trying to speak a foreign language?

Q4. What kind of food have you tried during your travels that you wouldn’t recommend anyone to try?

Q5. Have you hated a destination that everyone else loves? Where and why?
