So true. SO MANY kids we encountered in SE Asia had no sense of “stranger danger” whatsoever. One two occasions (in Cambodia and Laos) children would come up to play with us while we were swimming and climb all over us. They were cute and very young and had been socialized to think that tourists are friendly people!…

I don’t give them anything. I’ve been told by people living in foreign countries that it is not good because it encourages them to beg instead of go to school. I have been told the worst things to give are money and candy because the candy is bad for the teeth and many of the children don’t have access to a dentist. I…

It was awful. I was about 11 playing around at the pool. It was adult swim and because I was a CHILD we were just playing catch. There was one toss I had to jump to catch and my boobs jiggled a LOT when I landed. I was already kind of confused and insecure about them. Two grown men, my neighbor and his friend, made a…

Budapest airport sucks. Took so long to get through immigration and to my gate that they thought I was a no-show (I was connecting via Rome so I WAS checked in, but not there I guess?) and they gave my seat away. I had to go to the desk to get my boarding pass and learned they gave it away. Obviously they gave it back…

Heathrow sucks. Immigration guy at arrivals interrogated me about my profession before snarkily telling me that “unemployed” was a more suitable description than “student” for me. Fuck that guy. Also it’s SO FUCKING FAR AWAY FROM LONDON. Like an hour+ on the metro. A 60 pound cab ride from Victoria Station.

CHILE!!! So many nice young hot guys there. Everyone is friendly. Perfect weather. VALPARAÍSO is the shit. Go there for awesome dudes and just everything. In Santiago avoid Barrio Brasil (creepy guys, catcalling is common) but Barrio Bellavista and Barrio Lastarria are near universities and full of bars and…

I think this the kind of short story that will stick with the reader for a long time. There are random short stories and lines from books that really are hard to forget and come to my mind frequently. For example, I read "All Summer in a Day" when I was 11 and still remember it. For some reason it just stuck with me.…

I think she was just young and confused like so many people are.

Well now I have to.

This is definitely the type of info I hope this site will post.

I want to go to there!

It is nice that you paid for the attire for the bridal party :) sounds like an amazing wedding

I worked at a quick serve food place and closing the back (dishes and stuff) apparently required "too much heavy lifting" so "only men could do it." I'm sure the fact that it was the easiest side work was totally unrelated. Meanwhile, closing the front (sweeping and mopping the entire restaurant plus cleaning the…

Amazing username. I'm dying

If you drink alcohol, there's always that. Coffee shops have things other than coffee (if you don't like coffee) that are usually prepackaged (juices) and sometimes they have smoothies. Or just find a few restaurants that have really bland appetizers ("mmm, I love flavorless hummus and cucumbers!") and just always…

So true. The entitlement is crazy! And now they're going through each disagreeing post and making condescending remarks about us working in food service.

Have you ever worked in a restaurant? Because people always claim that "but we'll be spending large sums of money" thing and don't realize how much restaurants really sell. There are parties who act so demanding because their 8 top is going to spend $250, while two couples eating together on a double date can spend…

You really like rap... and you wonder who Killer Mike is? What???

Tinder is great because I think it most closely mimics how you meet someone in real life. You see how they look, how they're dressed, and can make a quick judgment, the same way you would if you saw someone at a bar or party. Then you start a little small talk to see what that person is like and if they're anything…

"Because 2 is my favorite number" made me want to murder someone. Specifically, her. It is the best example of dumb shit customer that makes it apparent how outrageous it is that we expect servers to work of tips. This dumb asshole decided to pay her that specific amount because "two is my favorite number — ;D !…
