I guess they only will allow us to promote taking from other travelers and not from authorities.

One of us might as well write a piece on fleeing them now, as one tends to lead to the next. You’ve leaked our ways of plundering the hostels.

But if you read the whole article you will notice that this issue was included. It just doesn't taste as good when acquired so easily. Sometimes it's just condiments anyway. And how much mayonaisse and hot sauce soup can you eat? I never noticed a “leftover” shelf for many months in Mexico and Central America until Panama, or maybe Costa Rica.

I don't say that as a moral equivocation, because I don't have a conscience, but someone else is out there stealing food. As for all the complainers, Methinks they doth protest too much.

I don't believe that the slow running cold bacteria infested water and decaying dish rags used to wash dishes in hostels actually make them any cleaner, so we are sharing diseases anyway. Thanks.
