Help
Sucks. At least with parents. It is boring as hell, and all you can do is sit and read. I have been doing it for the last 12 days, or something like that, and I think I am going mad. I am in Portugal right now, and I have been to several places over Spain and Morrocco. Speaking of which: Fez, in Morrocco is a zoo. There is a section of town called the medina, which has over 9000 streets and over 400,000 inhabitants, and it is only a few square kilometers. Insane. Everyone is out to get your money, and you have to haggle over everything there ("I'll sell you this gum for 10 durams!" "No way. I'll pay 1." "What are you, a Berber? I won't take anything under 7! This is fine Morroccan Trident spearmint!" etc...). And watch out for rug salesmen.... (come back and look at my rugs. Nonono...not to buy...just to look. Incidentally, I have the best prices in town. For example, look at this one.... and you are stuck in a back room for an hour haggling with the guy, not to get a rug, but just to get out of the damned door).
I kinda went off on a tangent here, because I am so unbelieveably tired, so I'll open it up to discussion now.

The only way to get a rug is to end up heavily armed out in the middle of nowhere, meeting with rug smugglers. Only suckers pay bazaar prices for a rug and if you don't risk your life a little in the process, where's the fun it it?

I know how it is breh. I just got back from Idaho, and I drove. 8 hours to and fro, and all of it consisted of flat, barren high desert. Looked just like Nevada.

Maybe they need some incentive to get out of your face. Whenver your traveling, carry a bomb a noticeably big one. That way no one will bother you.

No, he wandered around a lot but stayed within the general bounds of the topic. Therefore, it must be a chord, not a secant.

Where does the subject intersect with itself again? He starts off talking about traveling with his parents, goes on to definitions of words and a description of the Medina (really a bit of a tangent right there), then goes on a tangent in order to talk about the lovable salespeople in the region (a tangent off of the original line, not intersecting with the first tangent0. It may not be a real nice bunch of tangent lines, but it certainly isn't a secant or a chord as far as I'm concerned.

Nah. Koalas usually go straight for your throat, only open polygons and sometimes flamingos, who get pissed off after you poke 'em with a caesar salad a few times, (boy, do you find that out the hard way) bother with attacking appendages.
