Last week was a bizarre one for travel-related news. In India, a pregnant woman on a train thought she was making a routine bathroom visit and instead gave premature birth to a babylet who fell through the toilet and onto the train tracks–and the baby survived. In Egypt, a study-abroad student lost one-third of his body weight after boarding with a host family who, allegedly, didn’t give him enough to eat during his stay. And, tragically, in the waters off the Bahamas, an Australian tourist was fatally bitten by a shark during an encounter in which bloody fish parts were used to attract the predators to tourists who shelled out the big bucks for a cageless dive.

Travel tends to up ante for strangeness. And, as Cameron wrote in a previous post, strange travel experiences tend to be more memorable than just regular-old life experiences that are strange.

If I was going to write travel headlines for some of my strangest experiences on the road, they might read something like this:

Mighty Mouse Impersonator Serenades Quiet Beach Community

“Tushi” Brand Toilet Paper Sends Jetlagged Tourists Into Hysterics

What strange travel headlines have you made over the years?
