		<description><![CDATA[	I know you responsible travelers are on-board with the very eco-friendly concept of treating your own drinking water when traveling. When water-bourne viruses are not a risk, I personally like to use good old iodine tablets as a quick and easy way to make my own drinking water and help keep plastic bottles out of [...]]]></description>

	1. Wear bermuda shorts, knee high socks and a stars-and-stripes emblazoned t-shirt

	2. Speak loudly in a thick Yankee accent to try and overcompensate for the language gap

	3. Overtip
