Some fun little stories I've gathered along the way

1. Cabs try to rip you off sooo bad. One guy had a base fare of 11 Euro.

2. Actually saw a friend of mine almost get pick-pocketed by a preggers lady on the Metro in Paris. She reached in the front pocket of her purse and tried to grab her camera and then when she was caught she acted all shocked and appalled. Jumpins!

3. Sangria is delicious. Why have I never tried it before I came to Spain?

4. You can never drink too much water while traveling but it still kills me to pay 3 Euro for a bottle of water.

7. Australians and New Zealanders have some pretty hilarious phrases they use. Like chewie for gum and jandals for sandals.
