Donna Though I would share this will my fellow travellers and for my friends here some insight! lol What its like to be a backpacker! Having trouble readjusting to life back home now that the travelling is over? Heres a few handy hint to help you settle back in: Replace your bed with two or more bunk beds and every night invite random people to sleep in your room with you. Ensure at least once a week a couple get drunk and shags on the top bunk. Sleep in your sleeping bag, forgetting to wash it for months. Add some bugs in order to wake up with many unsightly bites all over your arms and legs. Enlish the help of a family member to set your alarm to go off randomely during the night, filling your room with loud talk. This works best if the station is foreign. Also have several mobiles ring without being answered. To add to the tortue, ask a friend to bring plastic bags into your room at roughly 6am and proceed to rustle for no apparant reason. Keep all your clothes in a rucksack, remember to smell them before putting them on and re introduce an iron slowly. Buy your favourite food and despite living at home, write your name and when you might be leaving the house on all bage. This should include mainly pasta, noodles , carrots and goon. Ask a family member to every now and then steal an item of food preferably the one you have most benn looking forward to or the most expensive. Even if its Sunday vacate the house by 10am and then stand on a corner of the street looking lost. Ask the first passer by of similar ethnic background is they have found anywhere to go yet. When sitting on public transport introduce yourself to the person sitting next to you, which stop you got on at, where you are going, how long you have been travelling and what university you went to. If they said they are going to Morden, say you met a guy on the central line who said it was terrible and that you have heard that Parsons Green is better and cheaper. Finally stick paper in the shower so that the water comes out in just a drizzle. Adjust hot and cold taps at regular intervals so that you are never fully satisfied with the temperature. These simple, yet effective instructions should help you fall back into normal society with the minimum effort.
