When you’re in Holiday Europe for a couple months, it is easy to get doped into a “seize the day” kind of mentality.
The pressure is on.
Every jerkoff who has ever stepped foot outside the states is an expert traveler, and you can bet your ass they will be grilling you to try to validate their own experiences once you get home. Did you visit this? Did you see that? Did you try the (insert bullshit inedible crap here)? It’s fucking divine!
Nope, I sure didn’t. In fact I came back to my hotel room at 4:00 this afternoon, and laid in bed looking at Craigslist on a dial up modem. One might argue that there is plenty of time for this while at home, work or school…why not go out and have life changing experiences, meet new people, learn from different cultures?
Sometimes you are cultured out. Sometimes you want to lie in bed for six hours dulling your mind with Internet personal ads.
Did I at least get out of bed for dinner? Did I go try the local cuisine?
Nope, ate half a KitKat that I found in the hotel minibar. Am I satisfied with my meal? No, not really. Will it get me through the night…maybe. Was it the lowest hanging fruit I could shove in my mouth? Yup, sure was.
