My girlfriend and I stayed at VB Backpackers in late February--probably right after you left. I can certainly believe the story; that was the most dishonest, scam-filled hostel I've ever come across. Eventually the guys who run it started to hate us because we were clearly not going to fall for any scams whatsoever (bon fires, 'free' rides to town, lying that the buses aren't running and we need to get a ride from them, etc). I'm glad we got out of that place more easily than you did. Hell of a setting, though! Unreal story. My girlfriend and I stayed at VB Backpackers in late February–probably right after you left.

Not inteligence, but something of the like. Furthermore, I don't see the need of shutting my freaking mouth on my own freaking website. If, and I stress the 'if' you'd read this site, you would've known that I'm not in the near vicinity of my family and my home is an orange car. I must agree though, that I'm an idiot. For several reasons on which I'll not elaborate for now. Ah well, at least you provided me with some fun. Well Steven, I think we can establish that your comments decrease in …uhm… whats the word..?

So, just shut your freaking mouth and enjoy your family and home. Henk - I still think and believe you are an idiot cheap ass, though I am glad you never got eaten by that hungry crock.

Much cooler to say 'yes Henk, I'm sorry and you're right.'. ‘No comments’ is the easy way out. Much cooler to say ‘yes Henk, I’m sorry and you’re right.’.

Have you seen the state of that place? Lonely Planet comments on it as 'constant under construction', for several years now. The place is near to falling apart. Further, a manager that hits its customers in the face is a blatant idiot. I might be arrogant, but also we saved two lives in Monkey Bay, donated blood and next to that, we volunteer in every place we come. Usually, we live on our own supplies, which we buy from the locals, to the community much more profitable than your kind, traveling from backpacker to backpacker, making the rich more rich. Read our website, you ignorant fool, open your eyes. That we're not your average Joe Jerkoff, doesn't mean you're better than us.

One day your story caught my eyes and I followed it. I stayed at Venice Beach, right after your departure. I spoke to the locals and Ishmael, an excellent manager at the Venice Beach. It seems you were very stupid and cheap. It is sad to hear or see some Europeans that travel around africa and treat the locals with such disrespect. It embarrasses all of us good travelers. My entire stay at Venice Beach was incredieble and one of the best places I have stayed at during my nine months traveling in this beautiful wildness. I have read your freaking story and you, with your arrogance -seems to have deserved more jail time in Monkey Bay! Hope the next time you travel you will be more respectful!!

After more than a year of traveling, yes, its safe to say we're still naive, stupid and cheap. Thank you Steven! Read the freaking story! A man a man, a word a word, its as simple as that. Nothing to do with law or rules. Its about people thinking they're able to bend the law and take advantage of travelers. And succeed. Corruption is a happening problem, my friend.
