Lifelong Learning

Becoming a teacher, you realize that you must be a lifelong learner to provide your students with the best education possible - I firmly believe that, but I think that no matter what profession you are in, you will always be a lifelong learner - I mean, we learn new things everyday. No ifs ands buts, you just are a lifelong learner, period. End of discussion.
Alex and I, upon completion of high school, made a hilarious list of the things we learned in high school. I decided to create one of those for Europe as well ... now, it ended up being 6 pages long in Word, so I am going to have to tell you these things in installments...

Just to warn you, don't expect super insightful and meaningful thoughts. I didn't intend to be a Dostoevsky, Kerouac, or Wordsworth. Some of these things you actually should know if you go backpacking, other things, well, are just a laugh. So I hope you do one of two things: learn something useful, or enjoy yourself.
