International Travel

International travel gives you the ultimate experience on getting to know how other nations work/live, and all the bullshit that goes along with it. This includes the following:

1. body odor scented soap and shampoo (thank GOD i brought my own).
2. complete and utter frustration when asking even the simplest questions
3. small cars and smaller roads... and how about a fucking street sign??? we haven't all lived here our entire lives.
4. deceptive attitudes (yeah, I've heard people say "oh, the local people were sooooooo nice!"... that's bullshit.) they are nice to you because they just got you to spend $10 euros on a coffee (or "caffe!"). meanwhile, the coffee is nothing more than a bar rag they wrung out into a tiny cup and heated it and dumped some steamed milk on top to mask the dirt film that inevitably floats to the top (it's tiny because honestly, how much can you wring out of a bar rag??).
5. the food isn't bad... it's actually really good.
6. but #5 doesn't make up for the shitty tv stations. as if i really want to watch al jezeera on three different stations with only one english news station.
7. The underlying thought that eats at your back and neck that you will have to endure another 15-20 hour plane ride home, and was this trip worth it? Heeeeeeelllll no.
8. Cricket.... i don't get it.

I don't get paid enough for this shit.
