Ben, from Bristol, England, and his Blog joined the Gypsy Train in Valparaiso, Chile, when we met that fateful day in Presto Pizza and he randomly asked a group of strange gringos where was the place to be in Valparaiso on a Friday night.
"We don´t know, but are you heading south?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, I am." Ben said.
"Well, we have a bus and we are heading to Pata-"
"I´m in."
"We cook every meal, and we see amaza-" Mike continued his gringo grabbing opus.
"No, it´s okay. I´m in."
And like that, without seeing the bus, meeting the gypsies, and knowing a god-damn thing about the Gypsy Train, he was on our bus a week later giving us Yanks a hard time for not having foreskin.
His blog, at least, is somewhat decent and doesn´t feel a penal superiority to Americans....benandhisblog.uk.co
And his favorite thing to do is make movies...
Great post, love it! haha Anyway, today I had a big luck and want to share it with everyone - I finally found a way to make cheap calls to Australia, where my cousin Becky lives! There's this very neat site, briing.com, that offers a fast and easy way to reach your friends and relatives all around the world! You simply dial 084 3278 7878 for Australia landlines, and if you're in the UK, you can call Australia and talk for as long as you like! :)
