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?

Driven up the wrong side of the road for extended periods.

I stayed out late, very late, one night only. . .
Next morning, very, very sorry. . .

Elba101 · 03-12-2011 5:43am

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.

James T Kirk · 03-12-2011 7:12am

Ya typical 'mad Irish yahoo abroad', OP. Fair fcuks to ya, boy!

I drove a couple of planes into two towers in NY, about ten years ago.

Out of me bin I was.

df1985 · 03-12-2011 8:42am

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!

ICANN · 03-12-2011 10:52am

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

IvySlayer · 03-12-2011 10:53am

Saw this great ball of fire called...THE SUN!!

I miss it

Richard Hillman · 03-12-2011 10:58am

Have a beer with a McDonalds at 10 in the morning.

desertcircus · 03-12-2011 11:31am

Had two suits custom-made while in Vietnam. Couldn't dream of doing that here.

FouxDaFaFa · 03-12-2011 11:33am

Barbecuing. I found it fascinating that some people actually do it regularly, it was a total novelty for me.

Kasabian · 03-12-2011 11:36am

Anyone else think the OP has turned into a scumbag?

orourkeda · 03-12-2011 11:37am

Got removed from a ryanair flight for intoxication. You dont do that in the local every friday

Mr.Crinklewood · 03-12-2011 11:38am

Dialled "00 353" as part of the phone number when calling home.

Kasabian · 03-12-2011 11:38am

I got homesick.

Ireland was just too cramped and parochial to contain your gargantuan and crazy non-conformity.

Wow so you aint living properly as a youth unless you've tried drugs?i tried MDMA and had a horrific experience.it doesn't suit everyone and id imagine most young people are wild enough without drugs anyway

I threw pool furniture into a swimming pool. Closest I could do here would be to throw my couch into the bath.

Normally "pics or GTFO" is a humorous adition to a thread with no real meaning. In your case however....

OneArt · 03-12-2011 1:53pm

Smoking in nightclubs.

Speaking German to strangers.

Wearing tank tops in public because it just gets too f*cking hot during the summer.

missvirgo · 03-12-2011 3:13pm
