During my trips abroad I’ve occasionally seen things that have made me smile or even laugh out loud. Some of these things, like being woken in the middle of the night by a drunk Scotsman playing the bagpipes in the Costa Rican jungle, you can’t really capture on film or reproduce.

This one is from Mexico. Obviously they were dead against embroidery…
