ohhh hostels

so after traveling for over a month we have been to all kinds of hostels. some good some bad some VERY bad!! our hostel in munich was about 60 euro a night because it was during oktoberfest and the prices were outrageously high! normally we try to spend around 20 euro so that was a bit ridiculous. our hostel in brugge was highly recommended by rick steves so of course we had to go! no idea why he recommended it the room was not to bad except brian got attacked by mosquitos and had bites all over his arms and shoulders, but the showers were disgusting. they did not drain and for you to get any water you had to push a button the ENTIRE TIME. so imagine me trying to wash my hair and push a button behind me at the same time. we also had some showers in freiburg germany which were quite exposing. think real world show showers but at least the girls and boys were seperated. the water pressure was not that great either so we never really felt clean there. all of the backpackers agree for a shower to be GREAT all we need is one that drains, has good water pressure, is at least warm and has constant flow! our roommates have not been terribly bad, we did have some boys from ghana staying in the same room as us in berlin and they were quite interesting. they decided to come into the room at midnight and turn the lights on and keep them on for over an hour and then at 7 am they were up, listening to music and talking to everyone. one of them woke me up to ask how i was i wasnt very happy about that! brian had also been coughing for a while and one of the guys asked him if he had malaria!!! no one else has been to crazy yet a lot of australians. we finally met our first americans that are actually traveling and i cant say im to fond of them i think they have drank more beer in 2 nights than me and brian have the entire trip!!
