Lost in Translation ?

This past weekend my wife Voni (who is Indonesian) and I visited the Gumati Cafe & Resto which is a small resort type of place with some outdoor type of recreation activities.  As we were walking the grounds she asked me in her "Englis" (as I do not speak Bahasa) if i would like to go "take a flying fuks"



Needless to say I was rather shocked, and asked her to repeat it to make sure I had heard her correctly.  She repeated it a couple times, and I was still perplexed why she was giving me such an invitation!  Finally, we came to a spot, and she pointed over and said; there...THAT is the "flying fuks"




As it turned out, the "flying fuks" is the flying FOX, which to us in American English is called a "zip-line"




Here is the scene of the invitation for me to go take a "flying fuks" (you can see the zip line in the right side of the picture going down from the bluff across the water below)

Anyway, just a funny little anecdote how things can get "lost in translation."   I am sure she has some good ones on me too trying to say certain words in Bahasa.
