the adventure of getting to the hostel

So, after the last plane landed, I got myself through customs with no hitches. The visa was a piece of cake, just pay the man, get your sticker, and move on. I looked like what I am, a tourist/backpacker, and customs doesn’t give a fuck about guys like me. This is probably wise on their part.

first impressions are going to have to wait

I don’t think I can make generalizations about what I see here. All I’ve got is my specific story, so I’ll stick to that.

addendum to the list

So, after compiling the list the other day, I realized there were a few things I left off, and some details I left out. First of all, the towel. A Towel is very important. Normally, I would take a backpacker’s towel, which are made out of this microfiber super absorbent material, is smaller than a regular towel, and dries faster. For this trip, I’m using a shamwow, which is the same material as the more expensive backpacker’s towels, but cheaper and available everywhere.
