Salut i per una vegada, una pregunta, companys: ¿Com van anar les vacances?
Tal vez os extrañe que os pregunte ahora por el verano y más teniendo en cuenta que la semana pasada, decidí empezar la temporada de Japimondeis con un acento marcadamente otoñal.
Lo justifiqué argumentando que ya empezaba a notarse la llegada de los primeros fresquitos pero lo cierto es que aunque con un poco de canguelis, aún estoy disfrutando de los últimos chapuzones al aire libre. Por otro lado, en la mesa de mi escritorio y como si quisiesen impedir que el otoño se instale en casa, desde hace días andan revueltas y pendientes de encontrar sitio en un álbum, las fotos del pasado verano (sí, soy un poco carca y aún revelo las fotos que me gustan).
Todo este rollo, para deciros que hoy, el japimondei trata sobre recuerdos estivales.
Bueno, más que de recuerdos, podríamos hablar abiertamente de quejas o reclamaciones. Las que a lo largo de los años ha ido recopilando una agencia de viajes. Espero que su lectura os haga reír tanto como a mí:¡no sé cuál de las 10 es mejor! ;-)
Os hago un impúdico "cortar y pegar" extraído de este blog y a ver qué os parecen.
Disculpad que no os lo traduzca pero ya que este verano quien más quien menos, nos hemos cachondeado todos con el inglés de Miss Annie Bottle, habrá que predicar con el ejemplo y empezar a practicarlo,¿no?
Por cierto, ya lo viene a decir uno de esos turistas, "demasiados españoles en España... y encima,¡no hablan inglés!"
THESE ARE ACTUAL COMPLAINTS RECEIVED BY “THOMAS COOK VACATIONS FROM DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS”:
1. “I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.”
2. “It’s lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during ‘siesta’ time — this should be banned.”
3. “On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy food.”
5. “The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room.”
6. “We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow.”
7. “They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax.”
8. “No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared.”
9. “Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers.”
10. “We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish.”
11. “The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun.”
12. “It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair.”
13. “I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends’ three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller.”
14. “The brochure stated: ‘No hairdressers at the resort’. We’re trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service.”
15. “There were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners.”
16. “We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning.”
17. “It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel.”
18. “I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes.”
19. “My fiance and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.”
