1. "Massage" usually means "Brothel"
Be Warned! And do not mix them up! Nuff said!
2. A little language goes a long way
cliche but true, even just a few phrases can really help make friends and contacts in farflung places!
3. Learn to love CNN
It will become just as comforting and familiar as any travel companion or home comfort. And what with BBC World and Al Jazeera you can have the complete cultural spectrum covered :)
4. Even Monks will steal your bike
Being fleesed is likely to happen no matter how careful you are. However, remember that it all balances out in the end, one day a monk steals your bike, the next day you get a free visa.....c'est la vie :)
5. Don't Panic Mr Manwaring
Learn to go with the flow and take every opportunity that comes your way. Even when you are loaded onto a wooden boat in the dark and rowed out into seeming nothingness....don't panic, because the island resort is just around the corner....promise...
6. It's okay not to want to come home...
no explanation required!
Until next time...
