    What exactly is hard to understand about what was said.

    I don't remember saying you had to sleep with cockroaches to travel.
    I'm simply talking about getting out of the tourist spots eating in local restaurants and talking to local people.

    There's a big difference between a tourist and a traveller.

    I stay in plenty of decent places, they're just not booked through a travel agent or frequented by fat Americans toting cameras.

    My thoughts point to places like Turkey, the Greek Islands and the Spanish Islands. A lot of Brits go there and half the cafes serve full English breakfasts, chips or kebabs.

    Check out the busloads of Japanese tourists pottering around the place. Are they travelling? No, they are looking through glass at exhibits like a zoo.

    Travelling does not involve the coach stopping at Abdul's cousins carpet shop for a great deal.

    I would never refer to those people as travellers, they wouldn't know their bum from their elbow.

    Most people like to travel??? You could have fooled me judging by the narrow views expressed here at times.

    I'll get the tattoo kit, you clean up your forehead.
