h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

right now im hurting my eyes, looking at this bloody computer screen and wondering that in mabey ten years time, a whole generation of backpackers are going to be struck by backpackeritis. Curved stooped backs, and a constant subliminal hitching of the backpack straps. Christ knows im doing it already, (and no i dont wear bras) Ive kind of hitched my way round the world, been a stowaway, and have been arrested in 6 countries, and they were all for drunken disorerlies.(was drunk, needed more drink, couldnt get any, was quite sad.got arrested) And here i am only 26 and im on holiday in Wales. (now I dont have anything against the Welsh) I think that Ive decided to travel in the UK, because one, ive never done it before and two, this SARS thing, granted, Ive had my fair share of tropical diseases, but i dont want to cough to death. Im amazed by the way people are in the UK and how they treat backpackers. Almost like lepers really. And the YHA (youth hostel association) are the biggest money grabbing buggers Ive ever encountered in my life. So no wonder only Australians come to visit this country. If we had more backpacker freindlier places, more people would want to explore.
Right thats me ranted for today. Im off to get drunk.
