Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 26 November 2023

There are a lot of tourists around these days, and this week your team name is going to give them some advice.

But not good advice. It’s a lot more fun to give terrible tourist advice.

So use your team name to suggest the worst places to go.

Thai prison are good for long term accommodation

Bringing a case of whiskey to Mecca will make you really popular

Haggling with that Mumbai street vendor over 20 cents is a good use of your time.

That Rio taxi driver is definitely reliable

They won’t mind if you take a little piece of the Mona Lisa

Any terrible travel advice will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
