Aidan Doyle posted his list of ten things he had done that the rest of us (probably) haven't.
Here's my list:
- Been teargassed by the Ecuadorean army
- Been rescued from near-drowning by holidaying Dutch policemen in Cuba
- Entered the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant Exclusion Zone
- Been outdrunk in shots of vodka by an 84-year-old Russian babushka
- Had a song composed about me and sung to me by a bunch of villagers in Sulawesi, Indonesia
- Received free treatment in an Iraqi hospital
- Spent the night sleeping (really!) in a brothel in the Sahel, Mali, West Africa
- Found my name in the credits of popular Mac open source software
- Arrived at an airport without knowing what country I was in
- Pretended to be a foreigner in my own country due to acute embarrassment at forgetting which side of the road to drive on ("Sorry, I am comink from Germany. We drive on the wrong side.")
