Back by popular demand. Drum roll, please.

5. It's incredibly difficult to explain to people who speak a maximum of 10 everyday phrases in English what the word CARPET means, especially if said people are standing on concrete.

4. Stumbling upon a restaurant whose evening special of $1 hamburgers makes any day a hell of a lot better.

3. Stumbling upon a $100 bill in your wallet that you didn't know you had makes any day a hell of a lot better than $1 hamburger night.

2. Apparently, German manners dictate that it's perfectly acceptable to take the pen out of the hand of a person who is currently writing with it. You don't even have to hand the pen back when you're done. Just lay it on the table and walk away.

1. It's entirely possible to give yourself a black eye with a malfunctioning toilet paper dispenser in the ladies' room. It is, however, a lot harder to explain the incident.
