Why the Ontario mentality is backwards

Why the Ontario mentality is backwards

Throughout my travels I have cooked girls from Belgium and Australia, drank wine with people from France discussed politics with people from Holland a and Span and spent late hours into the night with Women from Brazil and San Juan Argentina and South Africa.

Throughout many conversations the question what do you do was never mentioned
I realize how boring the discussion of work is yet it is the first thing that comes up when you meet most people in Ontario Canada.
I also learned that in Holland and Belgium and France one month vacation a year is standard rather then the garbage two weeks that most Canadians get I am truly surprised that our suicide rate is not higher then it is.

I have made the lifestyle choice not to get locked in to the mortgage bullshit when I have concluded my journey in South America It will be back to the grindstone frugal living and saving to Vagabond around Asia.

One common exuse is I wish I could but I don´t have the money

Let´s put it into prospective 5 nights in Mendoza Argentina Many nights out at one of the disco 3 nights out at a 5 star restaurant ordering steak and wine a tour of the Vineyards on Bicycle with lots of wine and absinthe and a semi cama bus ticket to Chile can be had for what most Canadians pay for 2 weeks of gas petrol for a gas guzzling unnecessary SUV.

I would love to write more but I am going to explore more of Mendoza before my night bus to Chile and sitting at this Internet cafe is about as appealing as eating paint chips.

Ciao Amigos I will update you from Santiago

They hate politicians here as well

A bout of Diarrhea a bag of mini Pretzels and a plastic cup of wine.

I got to the airport referring the disgusting steak and Hit pepper submarine I had the night before as I ended up in the washroom 3 times pissing out of my ass before departure.

Grossed out yet good

You will come to realize that I have a weak stomach for just about anything aside from Alcohol and rather then avoid all the foods I love I deal with it.

I ended up flying with Panama based Copa airlines and although slightly cramped the flight was quite pleasant.
Beer wine food and mixed drinks are free and the staff our pleasant unlike American counterparts that enjoy gouging you for $7 mixed drinks and beers.
Further more this was the most economical option saving me around $380 in comparison.

I arrived in Panama 5 hours later

So those of you that know me it's a 6 hour layover of corse that is going to be spent at the bar met a Chinese dude that owns a restaurant in pacific mall in markam close to Toronto a Columbian that wanted to convince me I was too old to be vagabonding and I should meet a nice girl in Toronto and start a
