我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Slept in a wild cave in the Carpathians. Stayed in a Sufi cult in Syria, a dervish village in Iran, and in assorted buddhist and orthodox monasteries. Smoked in an underground shisha bar in Iran with a photo of the deposed Shah on the wall. Met a serial killer. At front line of Bangkok red vs yellow shirt civil war in 2010. Been arrested and interrogated by secret police or military police at least 8 times. Passed within 20km of a city being missile-attacked by NATO in Iraq. Slept in headhunter and cannibal villages. Visited San Pedro prison in La Paz. Smuggled liquor into Kuwait. Chewed gum in Singapore. Guided in the Paris catacombs. May have been the last western tourist to have crossed from Abkhazia to Georgia before the Russian invasion across that border. Climbed inside an active volcano (and up to the lip of several more). Climbed higher than 4000m elevation on 4 different continents. Have worn the same plastic Timex watch for 20 years until it was lost in Mexico. Haven't paid more than US$15 for a haircut in the last 20 years.
