I haven’t been posted much for the last 3 weeks because I went to Europe for fun and some urban exploration. I spent 4 days in Berlin, 3 days in Hamburg, 4 days in Prague, 2 days in Bratislava, 5 days in Vienna, and 3 days in Munich which overlapped with the first week of Oktoberfest.

I don’t know if it’s any use to you, but I feel like sharing some of my impressions:

Hostels I

Staying in hostels introduced me to a lot of cool fellow travelers from around the world. Often when I tell people around my age (33) about my enthusiasm for hostels, they react apprehensively. There was a popular horror movie called Hostel that was pretty gruesomely violent and came out in 2005 — the middle of my generation’s formative middle/high school years, so that probably has something to do with it, as friends of mine have cited it when hearing me share my travel history. However, I never saw the movie. Others are put off by the idea of sleeping in a bunk bed in a room with four to eight other people for all the reasons it would be inconvenient, and they are not wrong, a hotel room to yourself is much more…
