104. He's from Barcelona

After dinner, Burbank had me watch four hours of Fawlty Towers just for the “He’s from Barcelona” jokes. I haven’t heard of Fawlty Towers, but it’s a British thing, and British stuff is Burbank’s forte seeing as that’s his culture. However, I’m not nearly as educated on American media culture as he is on British media culture, but can you blame me? American media is generally not something you want to brag about as most of it consists of the lowest brow comedy or whining idiots shouting at each other.

Then we had to check out of the hotel. We’ll be sleeping on the bus tonight. I hate sleeping on the road, but it’s worth it because tomorrow, we’re waking up it Italy!

Burbank woke me up in the middle of the night on the bus to show me the next thing he put in his Things Burbank Notices notebook. It was about the languages in Barcelona.

I ask you: What's your favorite Fawlty Towers moment?
