Boarding Lodging

Since every time I travel a part of it is on official work and the other personal I experience the two ends of the spectrum. While the official is about five stars and stretch limousines the personal is about youth hostels and close interactions with fellow travellers. In fact the five stars are full of snooty people looking down at this brown guy staying at a place that they assume are for more priviledged people. On the other hand in the hostels you come across Austrian girls staying in Italy since they were ‘tired of Austria’, boisterious Americans who consider visiting a pub as much important as seeing the Vatican. In fact for a guy brought up in conservative India staying in mixed dorms where women go to sleep just next to him wearing nothing more than their under garments and consider it nothing abnormal.
