Tingo book

The meaning of tingo is the title of a book I found recently at a book sale.

Its full of words from around the world that have funny meanings or funny names or both.

For example : ''Nakhur '' is a Persian words which means a ''camel that won't give milk until her nostrils have been tickled'' .

Zechpreller , the German description of 'someone who leaves without paying the bill'
We have a term for this too, in Cantonese... 'Sek pa wong chan'

Murr-ma ( Wagiman,Australia) to walk along in the water searching for something with you feet.

and I thought orang minyak was funny.

It is a beautiful world.

My first blog entry




Ah, my first blog entry. A sweet feeling that didn't last long.

I created this blog to post pictures taken during a recent trip.
A trip that I planned from scratch.
A plan which I have had since some time back.
A time, ahh a good, perhaps lucky time, as it ended just before the Influenza A outbreak.

This is a teaser entry with more pictures to come...
