Most Minimalistic Trip Report Of All Time
My trip, on the whole, looked a little something like this: bus, bus, bus, drink, bus, drink, drink, tourist attraction, bus, drink, bus, bus, tourist attraction, bus. And so on and so forth. Basically, long days, long nights, and a lot of time on the bus. However, we still managed to have an awesome time. Good folks. Good food. Can’t ask for much more. Oh yeah, and the exchange program has 4 rules: No drinking, No smoking/drugs, No driving, No sex/dating. Roight...
