Around the world in seven days

Tonight was Italian Night in the dining room.  So our Thai waiter, Thanawut, told us to call him Luigi.  :-)   Meanwhile, our Hungarian assistant waiter, Peter (Pietro?), is teaching us Hungarian to impress the South African head waiter, Johan, whose fiancee, Sylvia, is also Hungarian.  We now know "Good evening" - "Jo estet" and "Good morning" - "Jo reggelt".  Johan then sent us to tell Sylvia, who works the Passenger Services desk, "Chokolom, Sziszi!"  Which means something like, "I kiss your hand, Sylvia!"  Confused yet?  Our steward(ess), Mae, is Philippino, and we had Scottish oatcakes in Sydney NS this morning.  Whew!
