http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/bristol/somerset/7270401.stm LMFAO! You mean to tell me that freeloading backpackers were mistaken for.... freeloading backpackers? Oh, and that begging for food and shelter isn't the best way to travel and is a bit uncomfortable? Also, he didn't realize that between Bristol and India there are other languages that he might need to speak? crazy funny.
Hahaha, thanks for this, it gave me a good laugh while bored at work. Hippies are so easy to laugh at.
France was a bad country to start in, they hate hitchhikers and people who don’t speak French. He didn’t make it that far. Hahaha Maybe he should learn how to juggle or something people might throw him some coins.
That is what I would do..good thing I already know how to juggle pretty good. I think you have inspired me to think of a world wide trip juggling on every street corner around the globe. I wonder if I would survive.
Ironic...Most of the "hippies" I know are self employed. They have a sideline to make money on the road. These people clearly did not think or plan.
they sound more like spoiled brats used to being supported by other people and assuming it will continue after they leave mom and dad's house or the dole. doesn't happen quite that way, and it doesn't actually make them hippies, just fucking morons who happen to consider themselves kinda hippy, i suppose. but isn't part of the old school hippy lifestyle a barter system? like hippiehillbilly and dilligaf and their farm. that makes perfect, beautiful sense to me. expecting something for nothing just says you don't know dick-all about humanity.
haha i watched that this evening on 'the one show' prtty funny guy.. basically your cliched buddhist alternative dude biting of more than he can chew. He gave away nearly all of his belongings before leaving... including a laptop etc... only to come back after getting across the channel.
Hey, at least he's trying an alternative to the basic western sit on your ass staring at some sort of video display when you're not working for the man gig. Everybody learns something on the road. It's part of the experience. Even if what they learn is that the road isn't for them.
