hostel update

I have been hostel hopping again. When I got to the hippy hostel after 3 hours of sleep after a big night partying and walking for 15 minutes with my monstrous baggages, I really wasn't feeling that messy dirty chaos with the smell of a rave it had to offer. I took off and went to Dan's hostel, All Nations, which turned out to be a creepy shit hole. The rooms were of third world country with the same price tags as other more than decent hostels in the city. The only pro is the washroom was modern and relatively clean. I booked there for 3 nights, but it was nice to start cooking and eating dinner with Dan. We've been hanging out alot and so far he doesn't annoy me. I could be a bit more productive though in looking for work. After those 3 days, I moved to the Elephant, which was cheap for the city. So what's the catch? Reviews say that there are no roofs...what does that mean? It meant that the walls don't meet the roofs so basically it's one big ass floor that get sectioned off. I can say I'm sharing the space with a hundred people or something, since I could hear my neighbour clipping his/her nails at night. Luckily, my room is by the window/door, otherwise I would be sleeping in a cubicle. I tried to open the door, and it did, with absolutely nothing outside. That means I can jump/walk out of the room from the second floor.

I'll update on other activities later. I gotta go for now.
