What will fourty bucks typically buy you in the way of a hotel room in the states? If you are lucky, during the off season of travel you are lucky if you get a flea infested motel 6 ( Read more... )

I managed once again to unknowingly schedule my travel time perfectly, in order to avoid another natural disaster. I booked my ticket two weeks in advance. Right before they became aware of Hurricane Rita. Same thing happened to me last year. I have really good luck avoiding hurricanes. The 21 hour transit time wasn't so bad actually.

Tokyo/South Korea here I come! I finally bought my plane ticket last night. Phew! I was so afraid the price was going to skyrocket on me. I had to wait until today, because I FINALLY got paid for my temp job. I leave on Wednesday, September 21st and I return on October 20th.

Food there was an exceptional problem. We were told that we were permitted to bring a hotplate and/or a microwave. Well, when we were raiding Krispy's house for camping supplies (because you all know how much I camp) he accidentally grabbed his propane stove. Whoops. Not generally a problem, but any type of igniter is bad in a fireworks stand ( Read more... )

Our adventure begins with two extremely poor ass friends who need fucking jobs. So one day these two friends hear from another friend that someone is looking for two people to manage a fireworks stand. They are guaranteed 1,000 dollars. Sounds easy, right ( Read more... )
