Giving up backpacking
Before the days of being called a '' flashpacker'' , I was a '' backpacker '', and before that, in the good old days we were all called '' hitch-hikers ''. and we carried everything we owned on our backs. For some people things have not changed.
But for me, those days are all over, and when I now travel I am more likely to be travelling with nothing more than a visa card and a pair of spare underpants in my pocket. So I thought it was about time to throw out my backpack that has been with me for the last 20 years and hand it over to a new generation of Cambodians future backpackers. This future backpacker that I gave it to looked a bit lost and confused but hopefully one day she will be off to explore the world.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

. . . in the good old days we were all called '' hitch-hikers '', and we had flowers in our hair, smoked copious amounts of weed, made peace signs, and got arrested for demonstrating in front of embassies.

Re: Giving up backpacking
i was never called a hitch hiker in the 60's when i used to go back an forth from east to west coast, but i did it alot all over the states and Europe
Never carried all i owned either. Never had any flowers in my hair, never gave anyone the peace sign, did get arrested a few times an did smoke ( and sold) tons of weed
Did months/years of "back packing" thru Europe, north Africa an all the way to Bangkok
"Those were the days my friend, we thought they would never end"

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
