Today, my husband and I went on vacation. We got lost and had to ask the locals for directions to our hotel. Neither of us could understand their accents, and we ended up wandering around blindly for hours until we made it back on our own. FML

Clearly they were fairly safe. There were locals around, so it's safe to assume they won't get harmed more than you would in your home town, and they made it back to their hotel.

Robert Falcon Scott and his team died adventuring.

That's why I always practice talking in as many accents as I can. That way I always understand people I run into that are heavily accented. It's a good skill to have when your backs up against the wall.

You mean you didn't get attacked by locals and brought to a secret house where you were tortured for days until you were finally killed and dismembered and buried? Your denouement sucks.

This trip was the preliminary trip to get everything arraigned. Next time they are going for the full kidnaped - tortured - raped package; they just need to save up a little more money first.

Not to mention the locals probably figured they were too poor to day anything with since they could not afford a taxi back to their hotel.

Maps and/or global positioning systems exist in our times now, OP. Unless your mobile phone doesn't have a built-in GPS. YDI for not thinking of any possible problems ahead.

Aren't these the times where you wish you had a talking map like Dora? That b"tch has everything!

Whats the point in going on vacation to a place where you can't communicate with anyone?

Seriously? You'd learn Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, etc. just to see some of the most beautiful sights in the world? I respect polyglots and I respect people who like to broaden their world by exploring it. The two do not have to be one in the same.

Plus it says they didn't understand the accents, not the language so it could've just been the accent or a dialect issue where they got lost and not in the country they vacationed to itself.
