I wonder whether we should infer something about the country based upon these strange translated phrases from phrasebooks. Should I bring my own syringe if I go to Indonesia? Will I begin robbing people if I go to Somalia? Would I be prescribing suppositories often in the Netherlands? How often will I be carried if I am in Nepal? Do most men in Hawaii have breasts in which they might be stabbed? Inquiring minds want to know!
