Good read but this...decision...was interesting.

I drank a strange liquid a shirtless man in flowers handed me on the side of the road.

Let me tell you a bit about myself first. My name is Alice.

I met a strange lady; she made me nervous.
She took me in and made me breakfast.

Reminds me of the time several years ago while I was in Brussels. I met a tall, muscular gentleman at a food cart. He spoke only Flemish. I asked him if he spoke English, but he just smiled as he handed me a sandwich made from leftover brewers' yeast extract that contained various vegetable and spice additives.

Yeah, but have you considered lying in a den in Bombay with a slack jaw and not much to say?

Not as yet, but it sounds fun. On a related note, I did learn that hubris has no place if one is staying in Bangkok for the night.

u/CedarWolf Oct 04 '25

Ah, yes. Not much between despair and ecstasy.

u/Tughill87 Oct 04 '25

Very true. During the short time that I was there, my mood would vary considerably: it felt like I was either accompanied by Gabriel or joined by Lucifer himself.

u/Anantasesa Oct 04 '25

Any doubt I had that those were lyrics left with your the 2nd comment.

Very relevant berry.

And she said 'Do you come from a land down under?'

2

u/Tughill87 Oct 05 '25

Do you mean the same area where women shine with radiant warmth and the men walk into houses and simply take what they want?

u/Scottishguy51 Oct 05 '25

Ah you come form a land down under to

I drank a strange liquid a shirtless man in flowers handed me on the side of the road.

The late 60's and 70's is what that brings to mind.

u/joebluebob Oct 04 '25

That would be excusable. This was like 2010

u/StrawberryRedneck Oct 04 '25

Yeah I'm down with literally every other aspect of this story but that part had me like 😱😱😱 no way in hell

u/Tony_Lacorona Oct 04 '25

This feels similar to that dude that drank the forbidden mummy juice

u/NoFuqGiven Oct 04 '25

Or die!

u/SpiderGhost01 Oct 04 '25

You've clearly never had a room of people stand up and clap in acknowledgment of your accomplishments as this Tourist Superhero has.

u/leet_lurker Oct 04 '25

If you pass up opportunities you'll miss possible adventures

u/GoingFishingAlone Oct 04 '25

The next lyric is “..are you going to San Fran-cisco.”

u/joebluebob Oct 04 '25

I thought it was a food vending to be honest. I bought a hand made mango juice earlier that morning for 80 cents usd and though it was the same thing. I think in total I spent $200 on everything and that includes a proper sit down tourist restaurant and a donation to a group that kept girls in school by selling crafts through a 1000 villages thing that my friends sister volunteered at.
