Why are so stupid Backpackers in Southeast Asia?
We need to talk. I love you. Truly, I do. I now have a backpacker for a long, long time. I love a nature and will probably consider me to come for a long time. But in recent months through Southeast Asia backpacking, I noticed some disturbing behavior that we really need to talk
To be honest
. Why do you act so fucking stupid sometimes [?I ask because I am a concerned friend. It seems as if many of you flying to Southeast Asia, you can check your intelligence at the boarding gate and decide that your life in pursuit intoxicated, drunken excitement risk a smart thing to do.
And that concerns me really.
For starters, let's talk about Vang Vieng. Now I can not walk a street in Asia down without wearing a backpacker bumping that damn "I went tubing in Vang Vieng" shirt. And when I see it, I wonder , why on earth you would think in a shallow river, jumping while drunk is a good idea?
Twenty-two people died this year alone. You might like this guy at the end, the just died. Or the man in this video, who pitched his head:
It is also this type. And he. And you.
And those are just the examples I found on the first page of Google!
I mean, seriously, if we were back home, and I said: "Hey, man, let's go stockbesoffen get and jumping in a shallow river Oh, and if something goes wrong, there. everywhere to get no real hospital for help. It'll be fun! "How would you react?
You look at me like I'd been crazy. And rightly so.
This is not a good idea. None of this seems remotely like a good idea. Nothing. There is nothing wrong with getting drunk on some lazy river or celebrated at the bar near a river. Heck, you crack open a Corona me and me to sign up for both of the above. But this? Foolish.
There is also "The Death Slide" called alongside this river something. It was named because of the many people who have died, use, which leads to the question ?! - Why are people stupid enough to keep
The people say that it is a tragedy when something terrible happens in Vang Vieng. No. A tragedy is burns a car accident or a house. What happens in Vang Vieng, is sad, but it's just Darwinism. I have no sympathy for someone to do so, decides and gets hurt. If you play with fire, you're going to burn. And because you're my friend, I do not want to see you burn.
And while we're on this subject, let's talk about fire.
I fire love as much as the next person. There is something primal about it, but I do not like to put myself in situations where I'm burned. Why do you? Throughout Asia, I see backpackers jumping "fire rope." Do you know the rope to play with local fire light gasoline and you have all skip, as we are in the 5th grade and gibberish.
Here a tame version of what happened to some people:
you can be the best jump roper in the world, but the drunken man you might not decide to join. While you are skipping rope, choose a few drunks you join and soon you are on the ground in front of the fire in hopes of not getting burned your face crawl away. I saw get wrapped the rope around his arm recently man. All the skin burned, and he was taken to hospital. I've seen people fall on the rope and burn her face, hair and clothing. I have observed in the gasoline people ride on the rope and land.
Fire + alcohol + random drunks = bad idea.
A second-degree burn is not the memory you want to keep. Finally, from Southeast Asia
, let your ability to discuss, to ride a motorcycle - or lack thereof. Everywhere I go I see people with injuries: bandaged legs, huge exhaust pipe burns on her calves and broken limbs. When I ask what happened, it is usually the same answer. "I've been in a motorcycle accident."
Back at home, you would not drive without a license, so again, why do here? Secure the bicycles have small 150 cc engines and are quite slow. On a beautiful and simple way, you would not have any problems.
But go in Asia is not like riding back home. Here drivers overtake people on tiny roads, they do not see, they stop short, and accelerate them as they are in Nascar. The roads are not in good condition either. They are often windy, steep, take sharp turns and are filled with holes. Plus next to the crazy traffic in Asia, you have to deal with all the other backpackers who decide it's a good idea to have a bike they have no idea to hire, how to drive.
I've seen too many crashes and near misses here in Asia.
Sometimes I wonder, who the hell you are traveling with who can do these crazy things !?
sure I've made a number of stupid things while traveling. Things that I will not mention because my parents to read this site, but I have never done anything stupid enough that it would endanger my life or health.
I love a good adventure, but I also like to be alive. These are not things you would do at home, so they do abroad. Sure, it may seem like a good idea at the time. Most everything is doing when you're drunk. But if you get all those people in Laos at the end like, or second-degree burns, or scars from a bicycle accident, it is suddenly not such a good idea, right?
You're my friend. I like hanging out with you from. I want to keep hanging out with you.
But can we cut the stupid shit? It is incredibly dangerous and makes us all like drunken idiots seem.
Sincerely,
Matt
