    yeah, I could totally see myself doing this in my younger years.

    When I was visiting Austin, TX one time, my friend and I were headed back home in the crowds after the bars closed. We saw some dude passed out on the grass, so we woke him up to see if he was okay. Turned out, he was some Irish tourist that got drunk, lost his friends, and didn’t know where he was, so he went to sleep to sober up. We took him with us, got him some Whataburger, then took him home. I still have pictures that we took with him. People get drunk and easily confused in a foreign country. I get that the Eiffel Tower is under high scrutiny because of the bomb scares, but drunk tourist having a blast and then getting lost is normal. It’s not like he assaulted anyone. I don’t see why this has to be “world news”.
