Best of the Boards for the week of October 9, 2006

Check out these topics currently being discussed on the BootsnAll Travel Forums:

• Not everyone has that enviable gift for language – most of us try to get by with a few mangled words in the local lingo to get by. JetGirl’s trying to narrow that list down even further – what’s the most important word to know in any language? So what’s your word of choice? And how do you say it in every language you know?
• It’s all about practicality… When you can’t shower, Zopa asks, how do you clean yourself? Gonorth has posted a step-by-step guide. What’s your method?
• This thread has been around for awhile, and it’s still going strong – it’s the “where is this place?” thread! You can jump in at any point in the game, and post your own question as well, making it fun for everyone. Test your geographical know-how! Here’s the most current photo for identification.
• Even among a group of people who all love to travel, eveyrone’s going to have a least-favorite part of the experience. Whether it’s packing, airline travel, overnight bus rides, missing family or simply coming home – KPG asks, “What’s the worst part about travelling?“
