Exaggerated travellers tales



Some of my people are really funny. They like to cook up tales about the places they've been. Sometimes it's just based on presumptions. Other times they paint a good picture out of fear for " loss of face"

Overheard yesterday at an office here is one example.

She : " You all don't go to Istanbul. I regret going. Shouldn't have gone on tour there "
They : " Why ? What happened ?" 
She : " Aiyooo, you know .... that ISIS is so near aiyoooo....can see the smoke from the bridge lah. We were all so scared  "
