What things can go wrong on a holiday?

Read

This happened to me about 14 years ago when I was interrailing.

I was in Istanbul, and I decided to head back to Greece as I wanted to visit some more of the Greek islands. I set off for the train station with plenty of time, but it was rush hour, and I ended up getting to the station just as the train was leaving. I knew there was no chance of catching another train as there was only one per day. Just as I was about to leave the train station, I bumped into an American couple who I knew from my hostel. They had also missed the train, but we came up with a plan. Maybe we could get a taxi to the next station and take the train from there. 

We negotiated a fair price with a taxi driver (about 10 euros). He drove dangerously fast and dropped us off at the station before the train arrived. We were so pleased until he asked us for 30 euros because, according to him, we had agreed to pay 10 euros each. We didn’t have time to argue because we could see the train arriving, and we paid him. So the taxi driver ripped us off, but we caught the train, and it was a bit of an adventure.

Little Johnny hated going to see the dentist. It wasn't that his dentist was nasty; it was that Johnny was too fond of sweets.

His dentist had warned him that his teeth would fall out if he kept up eating candy. Time and time again, the dentist had told him to cut out sweet food or at least cut down on the amount he ate.

As he lay down in the dentist's chair, all the horrible memories from his last visit came back to him. On that occasion, the dentist had to pull out one of his teeth! The pain was terrible - even with the anaesthetic the dentist had given him. When the anesthetic wore off it was difficult for him to eat or chew anything at all.

This time the check up was much better. His dentist checked out his teeth, made him wash out his mouth with pink liquid and then told him to spit it out into the sink. That was it. No problems and no pain! Johnny was delighted and so was his dentist. Johnny has finally learned his lesson and was taking better care of his teeth. Well done, Johnny!
