my own culture shock

travel withdrawl:
grief like symptoms after an extremely enjoyable adventure.
recognized by the person as excessive or unreasonable, yet overcoming it may be quite difficult.

 
in the most terrifying and amazing cave in Rayong, Thailand


bucket sized drinks, Samet Island, lifelong friends

the surprising highs

Wearing the same clothes days on end (notably when I lost my luggage for most of my time in Germany)

Sweating like crazy and being generally haggard and not giving a care

      Nights wandering with strangers around the city and then getting so lost we couldn’t find our way back to the hostel, a mere block away (clearly, our pack was a bit directionally challenged).  A secret unbreakable bond

      Eating cheap (delicious) street food; drinking cheap beers during breakfast, lunch and dinner
        Living out of a backpack.

        Washing my clothes in the hostel bathroom and having to drape various undergarments around the room to dry. 


          I lost my bathing suit every time I did this.

          Chris is very cool.

          real life.



          See new things every day or contact a travel agent immediately.
