Laughable, Risible and Amusing Complaints Made By Holidaymakers to Travel Agents
1. I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite.Holiday maker complaints
2. I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts.
3. It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during "siesta" time - this should be banned.
4. On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all.
5. We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.
6. The beach was too sandy.
7. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.
8. Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women.
9. We bought "Ray-Ban" sunglasses for five Euros [£3.50. $5 USD] from a street trader, only to find out they were fake.
10. No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.
11. It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home.
12. My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.
13. I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment, and ours was significantly smaller.
14. The brochure stated: "No hairdressers at the accommodation". We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?
15. There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners.
16. We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white.
17. We had to queue outside with no air conditioning.
18. It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel.
19. A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".
20. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

By the way, as Wikipedia states, the bald eagle is important in various Native American cultures and, as the national bird of the United States, is prominent in seals and logos, coinage, postage stamps, and other items relating to the U.S. federal government.
Today we would like to tell you about one particular animal.
The Peregrine Falcon.
It is often referred to as the Duck Hawk. It is a very fast bird in flight, with movement up to 200 miles per hour for short distances. It is one of the largest Falcon species. There are 19 subspecies that have been identified. It is believed to be the bird of prey with the biggest distribution in the world.
It is probably the fastest bird in the world. A famous "Сапсан" train is named after it.

Do you like stories? So do we. Here you are, this is the story "The Appointment in Samarra" (as retold by W. Somerset Maugham in 1933).
The speaker is Death.
"There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said: "Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me". The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra".
