4. Bathrooms (restrooms, ladies room) are always called Toilet. No one will understand you if you ask for a bathroom, restroom or ladies' room.
5. Be sure to confirm a few times the train schedules and never trust what the front desk people tell you. Do your own research as well.

9. Make sure you check before you enter a train car...you may be in the Smoking Car. smelly.
10. FEBREEZE is the best...it cleans and smells great too! We think that if you "febreeze" something, you cleaned it.
11. Many Europeans do not understand personal space or standing in a line. They invade your space and always try to get in front of you.
12. Marisa likes to sleep a lot and she can sleep anywhere at anytime. She doesn't like to eat a lot and doesn't have to pee a lot either.
