"Where's the bathroom?" - International travel tip

Whenever traveling internationally, it's important -- for obvious reasons -- to know how to ask where the bathroom is.

Make sure to do some research before starting a trip to a foreign land. Even if the country speaks the same language, it's important to know customs so as not to make an unpleasant remark.

One trick that can be used with many phrases is to keep a cheat sheet in your pocket with the translations. This way you can look quickly without having to flip through a book, and pair words together.

A little planing can save a lot of frustration -- and a big mess!
