Things that you have done abroad that you wouldnt do at home.

BostonBruin · 03-12-2011 5:29am #1

I'm just wondering what things people have done when they left the country for a year abroad that they wouldnt dream of doing at home.

I'm living in Canada at the moment and I have found i have become quite amoral about some things. I've experimented with drugs such as MDMA and others which i would never have dreamt about doing at home. Will probably try some more before I leave. I had only ever smoked weed at home and not a lot of it. I've also been prone to some shoplifting which I have never ever done before. Not even a bar of chocolate back in Ireland but a fair proportion of my groceries go under my jacket here. Both of these things (drugs and stealing) are almost the norm here in the town i'm living in and my morals seem to have been carried along with everyone elses. Basically, i've done things my mammy would be very disappointed with.

Anyone done things like this when they left the country?

Did you just join boards to show people on the internet how cool you are?

policarp · 03-12-2011 5:45am

If you're in Canada why Boston as your username?

Obviously. I definitely dont have another account on boards that my friends and family know of. And if I did I would definitely post incriminating and damaging information about myself on that rather than set up a new anonymous account to ask a question.

Good to know cos that would most definitely not be cool.

df1985 · 03-12-2011 8:42am

think a lot of people who dont touch drugs at home experiment while travelling.I did plenty while working abroad, had onl smoked weed up to that point.

I know little angels who are hoovering up cocaine in bolivia at the minute, and people raving about how amazing MDMA is.......sense of i told ye so!

I run up the escalators here in London instead of waiting for them to bring me to the top of the stairs, not only in the tube stations though, in shops too! I'd never dream of this behaviour back home.

I've turned into a mad yoke so I have. :-l
