Travel Tips: Don't forget your PIN number when you're overseas. Don't try and use someone else's ID when he's sitting directly opposite to you. Don't mention the war, I said it once but I think I got away with it. Look right, left and then right when crossing the road in most foreign places. Don't expect everyone to like you, especially in Aussie themed restaurants. Don't rock up in New York without pre-arranged accommodation on long weekends. If hoodlums clamp your car and demand $50 because you didn't pay the $2 parking fee, don't argue with them. Especially if you're parked in a bail bonds carpark.
Most Outrageous Travel Experience: In LA I borrowed $500 off a Welshman I'd met only 12 days prior. I forgot my PIN number. I paid him back only when I got back to Australia!
