Ha! I love this list, it’s so true! The only one I would add, is that you DON’T take a picture because it’s just another church/monument/breathtaking view.

you guys, that is a great list. I’d only add: you know what people are going to ask you in a hostel before you start talking.

great list!

AF,

3 pairs of boxers? Come on, I carry 1 months worth of underwear–4 pairs. I change once a week if I need it or not.

You can’t just look “Backpacker” you have to smell it too.

Cris,
Ramen–just add veggies, tofu, or meat and chillies. Your combinations are endless… just like Mom’s chicken–which I’m craving now.

More seriously, this site gave us some great ideas: http://www.vagabondish.com/cheap-healthy-meals-for-the-hostel-traveler/

Busy working from home today hence been looking round your website. Lots of good stuff.

On the Packing List, Sean do you really only have 3 pairs of boxers? If so they must be practically alive by now, do you have to hunt them down each morning, or set rat traps to capture them so you can put them back on?
I enjoyed Vietnam although we were mainly in resorts when we visited and may have been protected from the attentive locals.
On the http://www.wanderwhy.com site, I just type in the address, I don’t know what all this search engine stuff is about, I only work in IT.

Yeah, that describes vietnam pretty well. It’s very intense and people will try to rip you off all over the place. When I was in Hoi An, I was corned in a store and people were pulling my shirt. Most people don’t like vietnam because people are so pushy…be interesting to see how your opinion evolves.
