The Trip

Just back from my little sojourn to the neighbouring country. I must say that it is a refreshing change from a place that is permanently sterile and rather too ordered. As some of those I know might expect me to say: “All the streets look like crap, and half of them smell exactly like they look.” I’d say that that pretty much sums the place up. Its polluted, littered, smells and altogether looks rather grimy. My kinda place. For those who know me, they’d be wise to stay well clear of my room in its current state. (Note to self: Tidy or ELSE) Well, like, enough criticism. I really did have a nice vacation.
Now for the good part. I really do like food by the roadside. The place may be rather unhygienic and grimy, but the taste really can’t be beat. Plus, the prices were good since the currency was smaller than what I was holding. Conclusion: Cheap prices and tasty food make up for a potential bout of indigestion. (which I didn’t get anyway, and there were no reports of real cholera or dysentery in the area anyway) Hence, it was a food-shoveling, window-shopping, road-running kind of a trip in the sweltering heat. Not to mention the heaps of chewing gum I’d gone through during the boring moments. Problem with the shopping was that I didn’t want more luggage than I’d already brought(my bad) and like there was really nothing there that was exceptional and suiting my tastes. Well, back to the den and little to bring back. Not as if it were a truly distant place anyway.
