In every flickr travel photo album ever

1) Old, leathery woman hocks her wares, which are laid out on a blanket

2) Local graffiti hilariously makes awkward use of American idiom!

3) Oh hi, I'm atop a pyramid with a backpack and sunglasses

4) Check out this scary looking food I'm eating

5) Oh hi, I've posted this in the wrong forum.

6) I certainly am enjoying the heck out of this beverage!

7) Here is my local student friend with a caption about how interesting and local she is

8) Hustlin-Bustlin Market

9) Look, these American Products such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi are advertised differently here and have different colored cans! xxp

10) The fascinating parade through 6 blocks of town.

11) An aerial shot of the city actually taken from the airplane. Just wow.

12) Check out this crazy wild animal. You sure don't see those animals where I'm from!

13) Weathered street sign

14) Solitary flower

15) scruff

16) A guy at this bar was apparently trying to buy a bag of coke from this other guy but then the guy just stabbed him in the neck. It was crazy. Soooooo much blood!!!

17) Look at this colorful plate of food I ordered! I am pointing at it with an open mouthed smile to indicate that, yes, this is a plate of food I actually ordered and consumed in a foreign country.

18) Local children in ethnic garb

19) Look at this edible piece of organic material that may or may not be on a stick! Isn't it weird people actually eat this in other countries?

20) People in other countries don't know how to drive! Or pause for pedestrians. This picture shows me standing in the middle of a street like a complete fucking idiot while cars are coming at me at a furious pace.

21) Check out this rickety vehicle which only has two or more wheels! Isn't it amazing that we traveled over 400 miles in this by night without it breaking down? And it only cost $3?

~LOL~

25) HANG GLIDING OVER WHATEVER

26) This one blurry guy at the middle of this photo that I could have cropped so you could better see what I'm talking about, we were all CONVINCED it was (celebrity)! But it wasn't.

27) Dave sure was sleeping with his mouth open.

(note, i have totally taken at least half of these at some point)

28) Person engaged in age-old trade also has accessories/equipment invented since 1950, prompting us to ponder the strangeness of the modern condition.

29) Houses are painted in colours! As if people wanted to keep off the sun/enliven a dreary sub-arctic landscape to stave off the Dread

30) Marco/Francesca here was such a great character - here they are with their bronzed arm draped around me and a big smile/being vigorously hugged by me - but John/Smantha doesn't look very pleased, but I haven't noticed
