...Going clubbing from midnight til six with a 10hr bus ride awaiting me the next day.
...Using a discount bus company to get from Puerto Iguazu to Resistencia, with the massive saving of $40 pesos (about $10) and the sacrifice of my sanity.
...Taking advantage of the super cheap coffee served at football games in Buenos Aires. Later witnessing them filling up the thermos from the hot tap in the bathroom.
...Not factoring shots and vaccines into my budget and then telling my doctor to give me everything she felt might be necessary. Just as a point: $800.
...Drinking four glasses of... something and falling asleep on Serendipity Beach without sunscreen.
...Making eye contact with beggars in Cambodia.
...Not checking myself into a French hospital because of a cold. Turns out I had whooping cough.
...Convincing myself that watching a Nat Tran video substituted reading an actual guide book.
...Letting friends choose their own present for me to bring back. (Australia limits the amount of alcohol you're allowed to bring through customs)
...Refusing to embarrass myself by asking the bus driver if I was at the right stop and instead wandering around south Mendoza for an hour and a half, convinced I was in Maipu.
...Two flavoured vodkas, chocolate liqueur, absinthe, five glasses of wine and a beer, then trying to cycle 5km back to base. Actually, I lie. No regrets for that one. It was totally awesome.
I like these words, and the other ones you wrote. Like 'em all.
