I did a lot better than an earlier Secret Santa at a previous

Well done, sir, only I would also advise you to memorize that most important of phrases: "Where is the bathroom?"

Truly, this phrase has served me well in Europe, including once in a somewhat remote part of the Czech Republic, where for about 3 crowns I was allowed to have a terrifying old Czech lady watch me pee. Presumably to ensure that I wasn't going to eliminate anything I hadn't paid to eliminate. One has to wonder what she would have done had I tried to release solid waste - possibly she would have forced me to, um, repossess it myself.

That's some lovely imagery.

As I was posting that list, I was thinking I should find out the phrase for "Where is the bathroom" (I even know how to say that one in Klingon). However, that last one, "Where is my wife", will serve as my catch-all, because then I can ask her my urgent questions (Where is the bathroom? Hey, is this safe to eat? etc) can be asked of her in English.

One should never confuse those two phrases.
