They thought it was a pipe-bomb.
Hindus are generally disgusting.
I chose to take leave from my lucrative software engineering job to travel for a year.
I had tattered clothing, a cheap rucksack, local garb, long hair and a beard after traveling for a year.
The Hindu women in "fancy" tourist shops were the worst because they assumed I was destitute.
They'd frequently tell me I'm worthless in Hindi because they felt superior because they were paid $2.50 an hour and has a roof over their heads.
Their only real achievements were being young enough to have all of their teeth and being ugly enough not to be whores.
What do you say to people who say to stay in your own country and make it better, rather than bringing your problems here?
Truly understanding the world takes effort and that effort is an investment.
I was 26 years old when I traveled extensively in 2000.
I had $48,000 savings. I kept $5000 available and put everything else in quarterly term deposits at about 8.5% (from memory, I think that's correct).
I moved my sister into my apartment so I had it waiting for me when I got back. I paid her first two months rent as a thank-you and thankfully, she honored the agreement. I really LOVED that apartment. Some of the best memories of my life was spent there.
I'm unsure how much I spent to travel, but most of it was covered by the term deposit interest payments. I generally spent nothing, but I did lose a year of regular income but it was well worth it.
Be mindful I was mostly traveling in 3rd world countries which made it cheaper.
