Travel Advice from a Russian Backpacker

by The Runaway Guide on May 9, 2012

A few months ago, when I was back in Cairo, I met one of the funniest Russian backpackers I have ever met. Before any introductions, he went right into a ridiculous yet hilarious anecdote about how he peed on a taxi driver for trying to rip him off. The entire time I hung out with him, he went on and on about peeing on people. I know it doesn’t sound that funny, especially if you aren’t one for toilet humour, but I was in stitches and I even nearly peed myself. Since I never got a chance to record him, the video below is my feeble attempt to try and recreate this Russian backpacker’s comedic genius.
