Travelling's always stressful. I personally blame customs. ..then again, you're a cute little harmless girl, so they'll let you slide. That's how profiling works, I've gathered.

Other than that, there's the flight.. which I'll give you.. is very very very long. But, you've got your psp! ..not to mention you've got someone to talk to on the flight.. after that, there's always the option of sedation. They still serve liquor on int'l flights, right? ..although, you may be forced to pay for those inky dinky bottles on flight now.

Money.. well, it's just money. You don't have billions of dollars like everyone else out there *pokes Bill Gates*, use the little you have to make your life a little more comfortable and happy.

Another thing to point out is that most people are *very* self-concerned. They're more worried about the image they're presenting to the world than some tourist. Hell, there were so many tourists in Paris, I just learned to block them out after a while. Especially if you hit spots that are heavily touristed, you'll just blend in to the background as part of the ambiance.

*pat pat* have fun! :)
