In the park outside the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy, in 2005, were some 200 souvenir and snack vendors, and every single one were black Africans, except one white vendor. Also in Pisa, painted on or beside a bridge, was a large elaborate mural of Cuban revolutionary Che' Guevara - we were riding too fast for me to snap a picture.
While driving through the HOT desolate part of the Anja Borrego desert we pulled into a "vista" point where an older man wearing nothing but a white diaper-looking pair of shorts and flip-flops was just standing there to greet passing cars. We think he was there to promote some nudist camp God knows where. But he had very tanned leathery skin and looked like someone who basked in the sun for decades.
During that same road trip we spoke with the admissions clerk at a camp ground, and she looked so stifled inside that tiny little booth. It was about 115 out that day, and when we asked her about being hot, she said, "Oh, I don't start to really feel it until it reaches 130." (?????) Apparently, they hired the right person for that job.
Once I road the Green Tortoise (bus) to California. The seats all convert into various bedding. To find something, I switched on the little night light and looked over at one of the drivers on top of a woman who was traveling alone. They gave me a deer-in-headlights look, I went "oops!" and switched it off immediately.
A just-married cute Italian couple walking along the Brooklyn Bridge in their bridal-groom clothes.
On a late evening train going back to Padova from Venice...pretty much empty. The disheveled-looking nasty guy a few seats away from us (but facing us) took his 'member' out and started rubbing it...while staring at us and grinning...
Saudi Arabia - some sort of animal corral area where there were camels in one pen, sheep (goats?) in the other. A man pulls in a big old chevy. He picks out a sheep and the propietor drags it over to the car. The buyer pops the hood of the trunk - a sheep/goat already in there pops up, they wrestle the second sheep/goat in with the first, close the trunk and he drives away. Looking down from a bus same trip, a sheep/goat sitting on the back seat of another big old American sedan as the guy drives....to dinner I'm guessing.
Probably not unusual for most of the world, just for me
My friend saw someone intimately engaged with a sheep in a field in Central Asia. It's not my experience, but she was visiting me (who was at work and missed that outing). Does that count?
If this was a contest, this one would surely win, lol!
My list: In Colorado Springs, we saw a man weaving precariously on a set of high heels and with very sloppily drawn on lipstick. Our friend from there confirmed that he must have been coming out of a transsexual bar--in Colorado Springs of all places!
In NYC, at around 8:00 in the morning, we saw a bald middle aged man with a leopard coat and bare legs (in December) getting into a taxi cab.
In Lake Como Italy we saw a man with the biggest backpack you ever saw--I didn't even think they made them that big--but it looked like it was full of balloons b/c he was carrying it quite effortlessly. Everyone on the boat was giggling and winking at each other b/c it was so funny. If I can find the pic, I'll post it here.
While camping near the Great Ocean Road in Oz, there were many koalas hanging around in the trees. These are extremely sleepy animals, second only to the sloth probably, so we were amused when they started grunting around in the trees after midnight, and they were peeling huge swathes of bark from the gum trees and running around. It would have been scary if we didn't know what it was. We called them "pigs in trees" b/c that's what they sounded like.
In Thailand, there are many "lady-boys," men who dress up like women to whatever extent the like, and some go the whole 9 yards and you don't even know they're men. Our favorite was a waitress at a really good restaurant we went to, and the first night he was dressed impeccably, but he'd forgotten his "boobs." Another one was our elephant handler who was totally dressed as a man except for the bright pink lipstick that he was wearing.
