Contains overdramatization and slight exaggerations


Cheapest flights possible to the cheapest "vacation" island possible. Vacation as in

  • drinking until you can't even pronounce "hi"
  • habitual disturbance of locals and other guests
  • being fleeced by club owners and everyone else because you have "tourist" stamped on your forehead
  • sleeping off the night by the pool and pre-game from midday to evening
  • only eating (and drinking) the same stuff as at home, because fuck other cultures who don't know how to make a kebab/Schnitzel/...
  • coming back after 10 days of daze, hangovers and (optional) all-inclusive buffets

Did I forget something?

Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I get that reference, but also I'd like to support the statement. I've sat on my couch for 2-3 days, frozen peas in my lap and just took it slow. A week later I could barely tell that anything changed.

When he was finally done, he approached us and I said “Hi how are you?” with a smile.

There's probably the problem. Don't ask a german "how are you", they will interpret it as the start of a conversation, not a greeting. You might either get weird looks or a detailled personal and medical history of that person. In food service, you get to the point. A "Excuse me" or "Can we order please" is a way better way to initiate an order.
