    • Cheryl - in Spain spent a day or two not speaking any English, until the daughter and her went out and started speaking English 
    • Kamryn - Papua New Guinea, became known as bubaiya (papaya) 
    • Ryan - only saying names because that’s all we knew (couldn’t speak the language) with Edgar
    • Cheryl - staying w/ a family in Japan: Hi means yes in Japanese and the host mom thought it was really funny 
    • Ryan - Cheryl as 7th/8th grader w/ mosquito bite on her eyelid and used a  teabag on it 
    • Kamryn - mosquito bites = malaria in Zambia; went camping back in the states and had a very different experience 
    • Ryan - mosquitos & malaria, malaria Monday, 100 bites on one leg 
    • Kamryn - girl who slept w/ arm outside of mosquito net one night and her arm was like scales the next morning 
    • Cheryl - in Spain in 2000, ate at McDonalds in each country, got McFlurrys, threw them away in bathroom trash, there were ants in it and there was a bomb of ants everywhere 
    • Kamryn - impasu (ants in Africa), soldier ants, pincers so big and strong they are used to close wounds 
    • Ryan - ants in cereal 
    • Kamryn - fly’s don’t bother her anymore 
    • Kamryn - night in Brazil, close to the amazon, rainy season (when the bugs proliferate & come inside) going to the bathroom, but saw a tarantula on the wall a foot away from her face 
    • Cheryl - “that’s the real one” the Mona Lisa, the Eiffel Tower 
    • Ryan - the gold in Big Ben or Tower Bridge
