Big Trip on a Small Budget
ASIA STYLE
I just got back from a month of adventure in Hong Kong, Thailand and Malaysia. Here are some travel tips to look like a true Southeast Asia veteran.- Crave rice for breakfast.
- Wear your jacket backwards like the motorcycle taxi drivers.
- Use mosquito repellent as deodorant.
- Forsake proper English grammar for local pidgin.
- Walk through a pack of savage dogs without flinching.
- Slip your shoes on and off at a threshold with ease.
- Squat skybomber-style on Western toilets.
- Sit down to a banana pancake breakfast and reach for the fish sauce.
- Be able to recount more than one “I almost died” story.
