- Symbiote 7y agoI once met a rich guy (owned an American hotel franchise) backpacking in Viet Nam. We were both waiting for the overnight train somewhere, and ended up in the same compartment. At the destination, I checked into the hostel, and he checked into the 5-star hotel. He came by the hotel bar later to share stories, and bought everyone a drink. (This wasn't especially off-the-beaten track, even 10 years ago, but there were simply fewer tourists then.)
