Hyenas Laughed at Me and Now I Know Why

Everyone knows that stories improve with the telling, and nothing helps a travel story more than something going wrong. As soon as things stop going your way you know youre in trouble, but the frustration, embarrassment, danger, and inconvenience provide great material for stories once the anguish has faded. What we remember are the absurd, surreal, and wacky moments when travel becomes slapstick and grand plans dissolve into comedy. The adventurers here encounter just about everything youd never expect, from a monster dildo that wont go away to becoming the prey of religious zealots at the worlds largest human gathering to the proverbial "hair in my soup" at a French restaurant and the proprietors remarkable solution to the "problem." In a case of life imitating art, nothing is too ridiculous on the road, as these travelers discover and so generously share without shame or undue embarrassment.
