And no I am not talking about seeing a bit more of poverty than you are used to (some of those are the most wonderful places I have been), I am talking about places that are downright not intelligent to be. Say, an otherwise normal looking pub in industrial Budapest where the waitresses were running every transaction through burly guys near the exits and taking patrons into back rooms, or the road I inadvertently walked down in Bangalore where touts were somewhat forcefully promising me girls for incredibly cheap prices.

I love adventure, but I've got a few more stories like that that that make me wonder how I haven't made a more tragic choice in my adventuring. I'm cool with taking the safe options.
