We ran our first installment of travel week a few months ago, and had so much fun we wanted to do it again! This week we'll bring you recipes from around the world, so be prepared for tasty dishes from awesome places. To get you prepared for our journey we thought it would be fun to learn how to toast in different languages. When traveling, knowing how to say "cheers" in the language of your destination country is a great way to meet people, converse with waiters and bartenders and show the locals that you have embraced the customs.

The onset of Summer means many things: road trips, picnics, barbecues, watermelon . . . and weddings. Rarely does a June or July pass by when I'm not at or in a wedding celebration. Since lots of wedding toasts are to be had this time of year, I thought I'd put your multicultural toasting skills to the test. Do you know how to say "Cheers!" in every language? There's only one way to find out!
