1. Women never grow out of a high school pack mentality! It's ok if you don't all take the same bus just this once!!
2. Dried cow poo transfers to your clothes VERY easily, particularly when seated on a 1-seater with two people on a crammed chicken bus!
3. The Spanish word for kitchen IS NOT pronounced with a -ch sound. I promise you the front desk staff will hesitate to answer your question and give you a very obscure look when you ask "donde esta cuchina" not donde esta cucina!
4. The literal translation for cuchina is filthy. I learned that in Latin america, the slang term for that word is referenced to a woman. You do the math.
5. Using the above question is not the best opening line to the HOT front desk staff. You have to put in a lot of effort to overcome that first impression!
6. Streets can be littered with an abundance of smells. I'm amazed that you can still enjoy the smell of fresh baked goods when the smell o poo and garbage is wafting behind it!
7. I'm getting desensitized!
8. Dead cats in garbage still smell like dead cats in garbage bags regardless of the other wonderful smells in the air!
9. I'm terrified of heights! Apparently one's legs can shake for a considerable amount of time after plummeting 60' on a Tarzan swing!
10. Do NOT trust your tour guide when he tells you the hike isn't that bad, difficult but fun. Particularly when it's followed by "I'm so proud of you guys!!" the latter should have been a serious indication of what I was getting myself into!
11. The women selling bags of liquid on the bus will tell you it's juice. Looking at the chunks floating at the bottom is an indication of something entirely different!
12. Even boats with massive holes in them can survive years without maintainence!
13. Those same boats get you VERY wet!
14. Bed bug bites are very itchy!
15. Monkey's want to eat my eyeballs!
16. I'm a wimp!
