As to Hare Krisnas. If I'm visiting a new country (which I do a lot as
I follow my favourite soccer team around Europe) if I don't speak the
language, the first thing I do is look on the 'Net for a Hare Krisna
restaurant. Although by now I can probably say "No onions, please" in
about fifteen languages! :-) The only thing I can't say so easily is
"Because if you do, I will faint, pass out, and be violently ill" in
more than about five :-/
