The Funniest thing happened last night…

In a desperate last minute attempt to try and book accommodation in the town we’re going to in mexico (Pueto Escondido) we decided the only way was to ring by telephone because the hotels website didn’t have online booking capabilities… so we had to call.

I thought it would be easy.. i mean the website even advertised an international number for USA and Canadian guests to ring on. So i pick up the phone and this is the conversation… haha it still makes me smile.

Ring Ring

Mexican: (he talks too fast… i figured he said hello or something)

Me: err.. Rockaway Hotel?

Mexican: No

Me: No Espanol

Mexican: No Ingles

Me: Er… i don’t speak very much spanish… is this Rockaway Hotel? me no espanol.

Mexican: No Ingles!

Me: er… Mucho Gracias…

I bet he was thinking “ignorant english types” and to make matters worse during the conversation my “friend” ashley was laughing his head off. Thinking back it was funny… it was like a the bit in the movie “Dude where’s my car?” the bit where they are going “Dude whats mine say?… Sweet!” then “Whats mine say?… dude!”… i guess you have to be there.

All i can say is i hope things improve… how much of the language do you think i’ll pickup during 3 months there?

Adios Amigos!
