Twatpackers

Here's the deal - if you refuse to pay more than $10 for a room don't complain when it's not very nice.

If you are rude to people they will be rude back.

If you enter every transaction thinking that the other person is a crook who is about to rip you off then they'll probably think "**** you" and do just that.

If you can afford an around the world trip then you are not poor.

Backpackers are not an ethnic group that need some kind of special treatment.

If you are "on a budget" then perhaps consider a shorter break. That way you'll be able to afford better places and everyone else will benefit when you go home sooner.

Dressing for the beach in Hanoi or HCMC will make you look like a tosser. People will treat you like a tosser.

Just because you have a blog you are not an expert.

Nobody ever looked cool adding either commentary or to-camera monologues on YouTube holiday movies.

Lying on a hammock, eating banana pancakes and drinking heavily does not bring any level of enlightenment or worldly wisdom. The sooner you realise that the sooner you'll stop speaking bollocks.

Saying "I can remember when this was all bicycles and people smiled more" just marks you down as both old and bitter.

If you are bad at haggling and had to pay more than the going rate - that doesn't make the vendor a crook.
