Had the exact same experience in the monkey forest. Was pretty hilarious to watch my girlfriend chuck half of her bananas onto the ground as three monkeys made their way up her leg. It took me half the trip to really figure out how to go about the whole tipping thing. Since I've been in Thailand for the last 6 months, the idea of not tipping wasn't so foreign, but it was difficult being in a new place where I didn't know the etiquette. The last thing I'd want to do is offend someone by tipping too little or not at all. Good luck finding a more permanent spot!

The heat wave here in Eastern Europe has really tested my strength to want to work on things I'm passionate about when I'm drenched in sweat. I too am glad to hear you're more than human and will not be posting up videos until you're back as that was one of my main aims and so far it's been harder than I thought. The flip side of travelling and working is that you get to be very creative and learn to adapt quickly to whatever your environment lends you. I also find I love not being so tied to the social media tools I'd normally being over frequenting, you get to be quite smart about your time online because there's less of it.

I don't think you are very good in following the establishment anyway... hehehe I think that if you wanna tip higher tips, just do it!

First thing I had to get used to was always being wet and sweaty. The good thing was that as we inhaled water nonstop to stay hydrated, our systems got pretty well cleaned out of our American diet. It was then that I noticed that as much as everyone sweat, people (at least those that showered) didn't smell bad! Back in Virginia, if you sweat for an hour- you stink! So, perhaps you'll all enjoy what the Belizeans call "clean sweat"! I understand the “wet” lifestyle: my son and I just returned from a missions trip to Belize, just south of Mexico.
