Random Rants XLVIII: Worst. Thread Title. Ever!

[Takhisis]

Not a Russian, a POLE.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

God help us.

 

[Borachio]

Sounded like an Irish Mexican to me.

 

[Arakhor]

For a yellow and fluffy pony (and a foreigner to boot), your English is more than acceptable, Joan.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

<Nvm.> Hope this helps.

 

[Arakhor]

You know, that makes you sound like you're eight, not twenty-eight.

 

[Borachio]

But, wait, don't we all do exactly as we please?

 

[Takhisis]

It'd better please you to do exactly as I tell you.

 

[Borachio]

Or what?

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

You know, that makes you sound like you're eight, not twenty-eight.

Yeah, not gonna lie, I've always been rebellious and childish.

Dunno what else to say, really. Sorry.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, not ranting about in the first place would probably have been better.

(Yes, I could probably do with sharpening up my tact skills too.)

My god...this last hostel ...
Okay, the electricity can go down...that can happen (you shouldn't tell though that you've once operated without electricity for 3 weeks, because that tells me that something is freakin' wrong there with the organization).
Same for warm water, but please tell me if you know it, and don't wait until I tell you.
The kitchen in the morning...I think the floor was covered with beer.
There seemed to be a family as long term customers...or else this hostel has more employes than actual customers.
I think it was nice that the couple didn't decide to have sex in the room where I slept, but decided to go to the rooftop instead. Was just a suprise in the morning when I got my dry laundry.
And how the freakin' hell can you not own any cups??? How?!? How does that work!?!?

I think that was rather a hippy community who accidentially advertized some rooms, or something like that .

Joan, if I didn't know otherwise, I couldn't tell that you're not a native speaker of English. You'll do fine.

That sounds like a hilarious holiday! (Is it a holiday?)

And a lot of French people don't own cups (or used to not). They drink coffee out of bowls. It can be disconcerting.

But they're the only people I've met you don't. Still, I'm guessing it's not unique to the French.

Elsewhere, drinking tea out of a glass is quite popular too, isn't it?

But that's one of the purposes of travelling, isn't it? To shake you out of your comfort zone and make you realize the stuff you take for granted isn't anywhere near as crucial as you thought?

Not that I go anywhere, ever, though. Not without a lot of kicking and screaming.

Hostel... Europe... Did you meet Slad and Veder?!

 

[ReindeerThistle]

My last really exciting trip was 2012 geneology tour with Dad and his wife: Morristown, NJ. I usually drink "the local beer" when I travel, to get acclimated to the surroundings. They didn't have a local beer, they told me to drink "Rolling Rock."

Consider yourslef lucky, The_J. I haven't been in Europe in 30 years and I still miss it.

 

[The_J]

Oh, can't say I miss it, but I've been here all the time ^^.

I also didn't see any glasses, besides some jars....

So travelling is punishing yourself?
Now, that explains the experience, but not the "why".

Europe is boring and overrated.

Aussie World or NZ is more entertaining, even with all the killer wildlife.

Sharknado was on TV tonight and I forgot to watch it.
