You may have to share your temporary living space with a cockroach
A coed bath & toilet could be your only chance of getting clean
You will probably find yourself wishing hard that you used that extra backpack space to bring more rolls of tissues
That scary looking man on the bus could be your dorm-mate
Chances are, your flight will be canceled
If you miscalculate, you may have to perform some trick on that European square for some spare change
Bed bugs bite
Strange looking cheap food may fill you up but may not agree with your stomach
Your couchsurfing host may be that weirdo on the bus
You may have to go without electricity.
