Flip’s Top 10 Misadventures

10. Flip never had anything stolen from him in his travels, but he forgot a lot of his stuff in hostels.

9. Flip organized a Boracay trip with his friends and got left by the ferry in Manila Port Area. Flip bought an air ticket and flew instead. It was Flip’s first plane ride.

8. Flip got sick for almost two weeks in Kathmandu during the H1N1 scare. Flip got paranoid that he has H1N1. Luckily, it’s just an ordinary Flu.

7. Flip went to Bolinao with his friends with almost no money. Flip almost pawned his watch just to be able to buy a bus ticket back to Manila.

6. Flip ate peanut butter sandwich for almost three weeks while traveling in Southwest China due to lack of money.

5. Flip got drunk in Hanoi once and slept on the streets because the hostel was closed and no one opened the door no matter how hard he knocked.

4. Flip rode a bike in Nha Trang side by side with huge trucks. Flip prayed so hard.

3. Flip woke up with a broken bone (smallest toe finger) and he didn’t know why and how it happened.

2. Flip got lost while biking in Northern Thailand and ended up in a National Park. Flip got scared of a possible encounter with a wild tiger.

1. Flip was held in the Chinese Immigration Office for three hours trying to prove that he’s a Filipino. They were insisting that Flip’s a Chinese citizen with a fake Filipino passport.

    I found your Misadventure No. 1 quite amusing, particularly since I tried to pass as a Chinese in order to take a bus between Dunhuang and Korla on the Southern Silk Road. This bus passes by the Lop Nor region, where China tests its nuclear weapons and foreigners are expressly forbidden to traverse or enter. After 3 hours into the ride, I felt confident that I would succeed. However, I was found out by the assistant driver and thrown off of the bus.
