Desperate Times
Stranded in a hotel in an African war zone with no internet access for two weeks, I was forced to resort to desperate measures. Possessing only my passport and the clothes I stood up in; and the warning "You can catch it shaking hands with a vicar out there" ringing in my ears, I had to draw my own porn in order to preserve my sanity.
Alas, it all came out looking like Coronation Street's Audrey Roberts, but, as they say, any port in a storm.
What have you done in times of great desperation?

don't
do what i did and stash some money in a book thinking on the way back you'll find it and while you're stuck in bali airport on a 9 hour layover you'll have 30 US dollars which will buy you coffee, duty free etc...
if you're anything like me you'll swap the book with a fellow traveller and forget all about it until you come to pay for your live saving dinner... then have to beg for cash from the disgruntled passengers on your next flight with the promise that you'll take them to a cash point just as soon as your mum comes to pick you up at heathrow.
the shame.
