Lost in Translation


We thought it would be easier to get around in Barcelona using our Spanish. Turns out it has been tougher than we thought for sever reasons i) we have forgotten much of our Spanish ii) they have strange accents (the 'th' sound) which makes it hard to understand iii) they don't even speak Spanish. Many speak Catalan which is the separatist language and is completely unlike Spanish. Still we loved being back in a Spanish country and as always love seeing how things get lost in translation like this Ben & Jerry's ad which can be translated as "games with your tongue."
