Day 47: Bye Bye


After eating sparingly this entire trip, I used one of my unused meal tickets from the hotel dining lounge and for the first time, ate a ridiculous amount of food. Man, what a boost.

My last day here was unremarkable. "Last days" of anything usually are. I threw away all the funny trinkets I'd gathered during my trip. In preparation for my return flight, I started buying up all the things on my exportation shopping list, spending nearly $300 within the hour. To get used to living like a civilized person again, I checked into a hotel. It was the first time I had taken a piss in a toilet all week.

I dislike leaving familiar places. I suppose it's human nature to get materially attached and to want things to remain the same or stay comfortably preserved. Of all the things people are required to face in life, I probably hate this one the most. So ends this opportunistic and whimsical vacation. Cold weather awaits me at home.
