“Russian Attack”
\nby Chris Mathew<\/strong><\/p>\nA man attacked me in a Russian liquor store. He looked angry, as Russians do, and was yelling. He pushed me hard in the chest with a beer until I grabbed it. Then he left. \u201cHe was welcoming you to Russia. Drink that and relax a little!\u201d my translator laughed.<\/p>\n
“Magnetic Island”
\nby Victoria Lawson<\/strong><\/p>\nThe water glistened in the sunlight as the ferry pulled in to “paradise port.” I hopped on a bus to Australia’s only real “beach hostel,” excellent, just in time for the Full Moon Party! Music pumping, buckets flowing, lights flashing, backpackers dancing ’til sunrise. Magnetic by name . . . Magnetic by nature . . .<\/p>\n
“Base Camp Bachelor Party”
\nby Marie Lisa Jose<\/strong><\/p>\nYou do know you shouldn’t smoke or drink while on the base camp trek, right?\u00a0Sipping his whiskey in defiance he retorts “I am \u00a0aiming for a different kind of high.”He pauses, then blurts out “I am getting married two days after I return. This is my bachelor party.”<\/p>\n
“Road Trip in India”
\nby Alexa Hart<\/strong><\/p>\nHotel in India screwed us on a train ride,
\nSo we hired a driver and nearly died.
\nUnpaved roads, crazy driving, and rocking side to side.Three flat tires — two replaced and one repaired,
\nWith a rag in the gap while everyone stared.
\nNo other road trip can be compared!<\/p>\n
“Cross-Country Adventure by Train”
\nby Sarah Miro<\/strong>
\nClanking along endless cornfield backdrops, (“I-need-a-break — I-need-a-break . . .”), the weary engine yelped and collapsed on its tracks — again.We sighed collectively, watching\u00a0enviously as\u00a0they\u00a0pedaled, in tandem, across the coach’s window, and vanished into the pleated curtain.\u00a0 The train heaved contemplating the miles ahead.<\/p>\n“Crash”
\nby Brandon Suarez\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nMy little brother crashed the motobike on a bridge near Hue, Vietnam. I drove him back to the city on the back of my rented Honda Wave. He told me he loved me as we rode next to the Perfume River, the scent of charcoal in the cooling summer breeze.<\/p>\n
