Fly me to the (South) Pole, Let me play among the snow (drifts)
Yet another post from your friendly Traaavel Aaagent Bear! Welcome, welcome… Today same as usual, busy as hell, advertisment comes out, people call up… Fielded a weird ass call today too… here’s the gist of it…
Traaavel Aaagent Bear: Morning <Name of Agency>
Passenger: Morning, I would like to get some information about this International Antarctic Center place in New Zealand
TAB: Sure, how can I help ya?
Pax: This place, does it take you to the Antarctic?
TAB: *boggle* excuse me???
Pax: What is this ‘antarctic center place?’
TAB: Uhh its an attraction. like uhhhh Aquaria is here, except it showcases the Antarctic…
Pax: Oh… I see… so you don’t like have trips to the Antarctic?
TAB: Uhhh no, I’m afraid not
*Note: Please bear in mind (no pun intended) that the ANTARCTIC is also known as the SOUTH FREAKING POLE!!! And there’s nothing there except penguins and seals (Not the NAVY kind, but the blubbery kind that eat fish and penguins)! Not even the POLAR BEARS go there*
Pax: *dissapointedly* Oh, ok then, Thanks for your help
TAB: You’re welcome… *click*
Now if that wasn’t like totally weird… I don’t know what it is. Normally people go to the South Pole for research purposes, like if you’re a rocket scientist, or just plain mad…uhhh scientist… Anyway, you get the idea. Why this person who sounds like your average Jane wanna go to a 2-mile thick layer of ice covered continent in the middle of nowhere at the ass end of the Earth for a fragging HOLIDAY is way beyond me. But, hey, if it suits you… by all means, go freeze your ass off in 40-60 MPH (NOT the bookstore) winds with temperatures starting at about lesee… -20 degrees celsius (thats 20 below 0) and that is considered a warm summer’s day… which oh… lasts about 2 hours? If you’re lucky. But hey, like I said, if it rocks your boat… For me… I’d rather go to Michigan for snowboarding and some other winter activities with someone who absolutely hates the cold, but would love to dress up in boots and furs anyway and never gets the chance… ah well… Yet another day in the life of Traaavel Aaagent Bear…
Stay tuned for further updates. I’ma outta here… 
*Cue theme for Traaavel Aaagent Bear*
