On my holiday I have:

1. Been almost bitten to death by sandflies. (The mini equivalent of mosquitoes)

2. Gone swimming in 2 different rivers (one 100 below, one quite warm as far as rivers go)

3. Bought a typewriter. (For $1 from the old second-hand shop. Surprisingly the ribbon still worked!)

4. Learnt to tolerate dial-up. (Yeuch.)

5. Stayed up all night listening to Eminem and Greenday on my iPod Shuffle 1G (olskool.)
