Hostel weirdos

Okay, I arrived at the hostel in Turin. When I want to check in, I find out that no one is at the reception until 3:00 PM. Okay… I say. Fine. Until then, I can waste my time on the internet. I’m asking someone over there for Wi-Fi. He tells me that I have to pay 1 EUR/h. What? I’ve stayed at dozens of hostels so far and never had to pay for wi-fi. Anyway …I pay for the internet. Later, when I enter the room, somewhere in the corner, I see something shady. I look more closely, there was a bearded guy, about 30 or so years old, wearing very large boots and a black leather jacket. He sat with his forehead in his hands and sighed. I put my backpack in the security locker and leave.

In the evening, when I returned, the room was full of people, wandering around the room. I take a quick shower, go to bed and watch a movie. After 1 hour or so, my roommates continued to roam the room, from the hallway through the closets, to the room, to the hallway, and to the room. It was already 12:00. 20 minutes later things starts to calm down. I turn off the light and close the door. After 5 minutes, someone shows up and turns the light on, opens the door, puts a chair in it, leaves it like that and never comes back. I get up, turn off the lights, close the door. 5 minutes later, someone else shows up, does not turn on the light, but opens the door and leaves it open. I get up, close the door. 20 minutes later, someone opens the door again and leaves it like that. I close it again. I manage to fall asleep around 2:00 AM.

I hear noises around 8:00 AM. Door locks, zippers, arched backpacks, etc., etc. I open my eyes and in front of me stood proudly an old man dressed only in a white robe, opened in front. I still can’t get rid of that image out of my head. I think it will take a while.

I got out of bed quickly, skipped breakfast and rushed to the train station.
