*SEEING PINK DOLPHINS!!!
*Swimming in the main Amazon River while fish bite the mosquito-bite-scabs off your legs
*Because of their very bad drainage system - going to the toilet and throwing your toilet paper into an open bin beside the toilet in a very small and very hot cabin so that the next person can see&smell exactly what you did..
*Using the bathroom in the middle of the night in the dark just to run out with your pants on your knees because the fire ants invaded your toilet paper!!

*Walking to an orphanage in knee-deep water - which is suppose to be the road
*People not knowing how to throw a paper into a bin - but instead throw it into the beautiful jungle or river
*7 people staying together in one 2X1meter room
