» It was a great holiday, but...
Interrail, Greece, 1994
I was travelling with three girls through southern Europe and we came to a small town on the Peloponnes to meet some other friends from home who were travelling independent of us. We had coffee in the afternoon in a cafe in the town centre and one of the girls goes "My, that water tastes like aspirin!" Me, the happy camper that I am, volunteers to take it cause it was friggin hot and I was thirsty. Down it goes in one gulp. Half hour later, the dogpile starts feeling dizzy and sees things that should not be. "bzzzz what the f*ck was in that water?" Turns out it was a popular trick in Greece to seduce stupid foreign girls by dropping a "Greek pill" i.e. acid in their drink. Well, cue me for the first time high on LSD and first experience with psychoactive drugs in general.
Could have been nice you think. Sure it could have been. Thank you vevvy much. Someone decided to spend the night on a castle "how romantic" and stuff, and I was happilly tripping away, saw fireworks, many ants (turned out it was people 100 metres down the gorge, someone grabbed me before i could reach down to them), and was generally quite detached until....
A yell. Someone crying. Many people yelling. One of the girls had been bitten by a snake. And, tadaaa, here comes the horror trip. Rush to the hospital. Many people in white yelling incomprehensibly. I throw up in a sink. Someone calms me down, and tries to stop me panicking. Desperate yell from the exam room "Not in the belly, not in the belly!!" I see horrible scenes before me of doctors pushing huge blades into my friends' tummy. Doctor's face appears in my view (huge) and yells in broken English "Why didn't you catch snake!! We could have given proper antidote!" I panick even more. Pass out.
Next morning: I am lying on a park bench. Alone. A cafe owner takes pity on me and gives me a sandwich and some water. After stumbling around for half hour, I find my friends at the station. Cheerful smiles all around, and everybody is still alive! It turns out the snake was harmless, and the docs let her go after one hour observation and a couple of shots. I was simply forgotten on the way back to the camping site where our stuff was based. "What a night, eh? It was awesome!"
Yeah. Right.
Asshole.

» Lies Your Parents Told You
Sad Lisa
When I was little, we had a sheep in our garden called Lisa. One day Lisa was gone and my dad said he had her taken to a herd with lots of other sheep so she could meet some friends.
We had roast lamb on the next weekend.
I didn't find out until christmas a couple of years later, when my dad said, we'll have a roast lamb for christmas dinner, "but it won't be as good as Lisa". I still cannot eat lamb today.

» I just don't get it
Oh so many things...
Life in Japan is very confusing.
- Toilets that spray your anus. Why oh why would anyone want that? I mean, if you like it up the rear entrance it's probably nice and soothing. But I think it's just plain wrong.
- Why bus drivers warn you before setting the bus in motion, or turning left or right. I mean, come on it's a bus. Do people here not know that buses move?
- The things that people eat. Raw fish, live shrimp? Gotten over it. Horse meat, whale? Yummy. But fried chicken cartilage? Natto? (for the uninformed, that's fermented soy beans that look like stringy vomit and smell, and taste, like shit) oh the nastiness.
