Ang and Kelly's Top 10 Never-Again-At-Least-Not-Intentionally List (tough though, given we both plan to travel in developing countries again)

1. Um, deep-fried crickets definitely tops this list. Apparently the locals eat them like popcorn at the movies… yum?

2. Public mini-bus. Way too many hot and sticky people crammed into one place

3. Trudging through muddy, shin-high rain water in flip-flops. What was that that just brushed against my ankle?

4. Squatty potties. Given this is a typical type of commode everywhere but home; avoiding these could be difficult.

5. Sleeping with ants. Worse yet, waking up to ants crawling on your arms, face and legs. Ants in your pack. Ants on the floor, on the walls. At least they aren’t bed bugs.

6. Bad 80’s karaoke. I think our ears bled a little

7. 52 hours in the same clothes. What? No clean undies? But, we didn't smell, thanks to showering!

8. Renting broken bikes and riding them all day, through crazy traffic and stifling heat. Renting good bikes is totally worth it though!

9. Propositions from creepy old men with bad teeth. “No thanks” Ang says, “I won’t be joining you for a nap in your cabana.”

10. Sweat. Everywhere. Eye lids , upper lip, boob, belly button, lower back, thighs, legs… all the better for the dirt and fumes from the street stick to you, my dear.
