Funny Travel Books

Occasionally in putting products online, we find some strange product pictures and descriptions. Here are a few we found in the Lonely Planet travel guide books.

Here we have on the cover of an Ireland Travel Guide the most symbolic picture we could find of Ireland... not rolling green hills, but... beer. A friend of a friend says that the Irish actually drink American imported beer, cold. Hmmm.

Next up we have a great book about visiting the Philippines, but what's up with the guy on the cover? Is he laughing or in pain? Is he stuck in that net? Is it a fishing net, and if so, why is it all over those jungle-type plants? Evidently, everyone in the Philippines is really happy.










Finally, most of the description of the book about speaking French is entertaining, but especially learning how to say basic phrases like "yes", "no", and of course, "I'm from New Zealand" and "The Eiffel tower doesn't look straight." Those are the first phrases I was planning to look up.
