You have to be thinking that I must be making up this story, but I’m not. Stupid people like this really do exist.
There I was, in Mongolia, in the middle of the Gobi Desert, sitting on the dining room steps at our tourist camp, minding my own business when two women come out and one is complaining to the other: “Why do they put these places in the middle of nowhere? Where am I supposed to go shopping?” Trust me, I’m quoting her as accurately as possible. Once I’ve stopped laughing, I think: Perhaps she accidentally got on the wrong tour because what part of the term “Gobi Desert” in the travel brochure didn’t she understand? Genghis must be rolling in his grave.
