"Guinness: It's alive inside" ...as will you be too once you've had enough.
I ran into some Australians in my hostel that appeared to have zero social boundaries. At first, the loud chatter in the otherwise quiet room seemed a bit rude to me, but as the days went on, I had to grudgingly respect that they just didn't care. They were young, they were traveling, and by god they were going to have a good time no matter what my sleep schedule demanded. So of course I went with the old "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."
This led to a night of pub "research", including being dragged down a back alley because "I know a great club back here!" This also included me being woken up a 7am by Rob who was just coming home. Obviously this kid knows how to have a good time. In the interest of imparting his wisdom on to my millions of blog followers, I had his write up a list.
Rob's Top Ten Travel Tips*
1.) Buy a turban. "It's both fashionable and doubles as a towel"
2.) Wash in the local fountains. "It's cheaper and more fun"
3.) Drink beer as a substitute for meals. "It's tasty and you lose weight"
4.) Invest in Greece. "Just for laughs"
5.) Hit on everyone. "It's bound to workout eventually"
Apparently rule number six was to not waste time making top ten travel tip lists, as the notebook was tossed on my bed, I got a quick kiss on the head, and they were gone. The rules may not seem practical, the explanations even less so, but I have full faith that if you follow these rules you will have a trip to remember. Or at least you will end next to my bed one night covered in mud and bleeding, all with a big smile on your face.
