Top Ten Reasons To Love Staying In Hostels

10. Toilet paper resembling sand paper. Insert ¨wrecked em, damn near killed em joke¨ here:
Also an interesting note for a you astrology buffs: It´s amazing how red Uranus looks from Mexico.

9. Rooms next to the shared bathrooms. I worked up a song to the tune of ¨partridge and a pear tree¨ at our hostel in Mexico City and had the joy of singing it every night: five belches grand, four stank bm´s, three painful groans, and a big hacker cleared and spit. (and an occasional vomit....(to the tune of the b-day song ending ¨and many more...¨))

8. Bugs. mosquitos, spiders, bedbugs, roaches, ants, and scorpions. I have gotten very creative with making bug killing devices.

7. Rock hard beds. I would actually prefer to sleep on the floor... if it weren´t for all the bugs.

6. Public refrigerators. Every time we´ve left something in a public refrigerator some midnight snack stoner has come along to eat it in the middle of the night.

5. The five minute supply of brownish hot water in the shower and the smell of raw sewage wafting up from the drain.

4. Listening to a chorus of farts every night as you are trying (keyword trying) to go to sleep. Thank you valium.

3. Trying to figure out what that sticky residue is on the shower floor every morning.

2. Witnessing strangers urine and feces floating in the toilet every time you need to use the bathroom. Water conservation is great, but not when other people have to pay tribute to your turds every time they need to use the jon. And the saying ¨If it´s yellow let it mellow¨ need not apply to shared bathrooms. Also, seeing other peoples poopy toilet paper in the wastebasket flushes me with anger.

and........



1. It beats living on the streets, or most Santa Cruz apartments.



Hope all you potty humor lovers out there enjoyed.

Hey Bryna...... ¨Fart¨ -- made ya laugh again didn´t I?
