Story 9<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I just don\u2019t understand the kind of tourists who keep complaining about everything under the sun, saying things like, \u201cWell, Goa didn\u2019t impress me in the least…France is way too dirty…There\u2019s nothing worth seeing in Germany!\u201d Whenever I\u2019m away from home (even if we\u2019re taking a trip to a neighboring town) I\u2019m always like, \u201cWow, what an interesting monument! Your pavement looks so different from ours! This is so cool!\u201d<\/p>\n

Story 10<\/h3>\n

Traveling is my passion. I\u2019ve already visited many different countries, and what\u2019s really amazing is that this cost me next to nothing. Of course, my vacations are somewhat different from ordinary tourism; I don\u2019t sunbathe on sandy beaches or ski down snow-covered mountain slopes. All I do is explore different cities. I walk the streets, stroll around the squares, and generally enjoy myself, feeling like a local. And all thanks to the internet! Whenever I have time, I open up Google Maps, put on some quiet music, and let my next journey begin.<\/p>\n

\n

Story 11<\/h3>\n

This morning, I suddenly decided to go for a walk. A really long walk. So, I set off to the neighboring town. I\u2019ve covered about 40 miles on foot, and so far, I have no desire to return home. I guess this makes me an explorer…or a hobo<\/p>\n

Story 12<\/h3>\n

It never ceases to surprise and even sometimes annoy me that, in Europe, everything is closed on the weekends. Even buying yourself a can of Coke is out of the question, not to mention visiting a cafe. Saturdays are tolerable but Sundays are downright impossible. Once, when I was on vacation in Italy, I got stung by a jellyfish. This caused me great pain and scared the heck out of me. I hopped over to the hotel and asked an employee for assistance. Staring at my extensive wounds, he said in a shaky voice, \u201cYou need to go to the pharmacy at once and buy some ointment! The pharmacy is just around the corner!\u201d And then, he suddenly added in a lazy, half-hearted tone, \u201cBut it\u2019s Sunday. So everything is closed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Story 14<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a cleaner working in our office. Her salary is nothing spectacular. She usually comes in the afternoons and proceeds to mop the floors, always wearing the same outfit. The woman has a son and a grandson, but they live separately and as far as I know, she doesn\u2019t support them financially. She\u2019s not very good at her job, but that\u2019s not too surprising. Anyway, she\u2019s famous among our staff for having visited most of Europe several times already. She\u2019s also been to Egypt, Tunisia, the Emirates, and many other places. On average, our cleaner goes on trips abroad 4 times a year. Right now, she\u2019s on another voyage to Egypt. As for me, I\u2019m sitting at my desk, thinking, \u201cWhat have I done wrong with my life? My salary is twice as big, yet I\u2019ve never been abroad!<\/p>\n

Have you ever had any bizarre travel experiences?<\/p>\n

For example, realizing that you\u2019ve left your passport and plane tickets at home half an hour before departure?<\/p>\n
