climbsomething wrote: Nothing screams "I'm poor" like an American who travels to Thailand to climb rocks. Or a guy who is gonna go on a cruise with his parents and is concerned about the on-ship climbing wall. Yep, you're too poor but most importantly too real for that fruityass backpacker's underwear.
I WORK in Thailand bro. I make just enough money to pay for my plane ticket. Then I go work for cash in London to be with my girlfriend and barely pay for that plane ticket. Then I come to the states and do landscaping and barely make enough money to climb a bit while I'm here.
Yea... my parents took my family on a cruise but that's their money, not mine. I only went because it was the last family vacation I'll ever have with them. I have a college degree that I (notice how I said I) paid for. I'm not in any debt, and could get a good job whenever I want. Fact is, I don't want to live in this plastic country full of clones and pay taxes to a government that only cares about taking care of their friends and tries to pass it off as being the leader of the free world.
Say what you want, but I'm not vacationing... I'm opting out of this fake existence that so many americans blindly fall into. In three years I'll have citizenship in the UK AND the Philippines and living in paradise while most of the people on this site will be working 9 to 5 so they can look cool in their name brands that they got on sale.
