Voici une priere pour touristes, que l on a trouve dans une eglise lors d un tour a Port Arthur, on a bien rigole. Je vous laisse le soin de la traduction…
Prayer for tourists
Heavenly Father, look down on us your humble, obedient tourist servants, who are doomed to travel this earth, taking photographs, mailing postcards, buying souvenirs and walking around in drip-dry underwear.
Give us this day Divine Guidance in the selection of our hotels, that we may find our reservations honoured, our rooms made up, breakfast included, and hot water running in the taps.
We pray that the telephones works, and the operators speak our tongue.
Lead us, dear Lord, to good, inexpensive restaurants where the food is superb, the waiters friendly and the wine served complimentary.
Give us the wisdom to tip correctly in currencies we do not understand. Forgive us for undertipping out of ignorance and overtipping out of fear. Make the locals love us for who we are, and not for what we can contribute to their worldly goods.
Grant us the strengh to visit the museums, the cathedrals, the colonial houses, national parks, and convict goals listed as « must » see in our guidbooks.
And if perchance we skip an historic monument to take a nap after lunch, have mercy of us, for the flesh is but weak.
Amen
