Tooth Vendor in Marrakech’s Djemaa El-Fna

Mar 27, 2013 by Daniel McBane 6 Comments

Tooth Seller Djemaa El-Fna

You can buy individual teeth or a full set with gums from this tooth vendor in Djemaa El-Fna in Marrakech, Morocco. If you read my previous post on Marrakech’s main square, you’ll know that this guy is only one of a countless number of interesting characters (remember her?) who hang out here.

Japanese “Smoking Manners” Posters Get Philosophical

Mar 20, 2013 by Daniel McBane 10 Comments

Smoking Manners Sign Japan

After the intentionally funny “smoking manners” poster I put up last week, I decided to go with an unintentionally funny—and deeply philosophical—one this week. I’ll post a few more of these in the future, but don’t worry, I won’t go through all 70 or so in the long-running ad campaign by Japan Tobacco.

Japan Tobacco Funny Sign

This funny sign is part of a brilliant ad campaign by Japan Tobacco to encourage “smoking manners.” You’ll see these things all over the place in Japan.

Japanese Add Faucet to Toilet to Save Water

Mar 6, 2013 by Daniel McBane 11 Comments

Japanese Toilet With Faucet

Most people are aware of Japan‘s high-tech toilets with their numerous (and let’s face it, mostly unnecessary) functions, but not everyone knows that most toilets in Japan come with a faucet and a little sink above the water tank. When you flush, the faucet starts running to refill the tank, giving you a chance to […]

Old Chinese Hipsters Dance in Beijing’s Jingshan Park

Feb 27, 2013 by Daniel McBane 4 Comments

Dance in Jingshan Park Beijing

When you visit China, you can’t help but notice the bad dancing that goes on in the public parks, but these three took it to a whole new level in Beijing’s Jingshan Park and pretty much redefined the word “dance”. The new definition was not a good one, mind you, but it was certainly hilarious. […]

Cow Piss Vending Machine in Tokyo

Feb 13, 2013 by Daniel McBane 6 Comments

Tokyo Calpis Vending Machine

Alright, so they’re not actually selling cow piss, but that’s what it sounds like when someone offers you some Calpis. Since they’re also responsible for Pocari Sweat, I have to believe the Japanese are the undisputed champions of unfortunate drink names. This particular vending machine is located in the Bentencho area of Shinjuku in Tokyo, […]

Buddhist Monk in Vientiane Doing Some Grooming

Feb 6, 2013 by Daniel McBane 4 Comments

Saffron Robed Buddhist Monk

This Buddhist monk was sitting outside a temple in Vientiane, Laos and checking himself out in his little mirror for a good half hour. After a few minor adjustments, he seemed happy with what he saw. Who can blame him?

Indian Cow Eating Trash From a Dumpster

Jan 30, 2013 by Daniel McBane 6 Comments

Goa Cow in Dumpster

A bull having a quick roadside snack in the small town of Canacona in southern Goa, India. In a country where cows are revered and rarely turned into delicious foods, there’s not much incentive for people to take care of them (not the males anyway). As a result, cows live a pretty independent life (I […]

This Is How You Cruise the Streets of Marrakech

Jan 23, 2013 by Daniel McBane 4 Comments

Arab Woman Sunglasses

If you ask 100 people, you’d get 100 different definitions of ‘cool’, but this Moroccan woman fits every last one of them. Watching her cruise through the Djemaa El-Fna (Marrakech’s main square and the subject of this previous post) made me feel like real loser for walking across it all day on my own two […]

Welcome!

As the more astute among you may have guessed, my name is Daniel McBane. I've been traveling and working overseas for almost ten years now and have finally decided to document some of the strange, crazy or just plain funny encounters and observations from my travels. I've also added a travel guide section, figuring I should reward my four readers by providing at least something of use. Read more on my about page.
