I woke up early today. The weird guy who normally spends all day playing computer games in the hostel wasn’t lying comatose in the bed next to me (I’m in a dorm). I was woken by the Japanese guy stomping about at…. I looked at my watch… 8.42. Jesus, that’s early. I lay in bed for another 20 minutes thinking about life, the universe and eventually - getting up.

Sitting at the computer was weird guy playing computer games. Did he actually go to bed at all? After showering, I decided to make myself a cup of tea, before venturing out. Sergio who works in the hostel, cheekily invites himself to have a cup of tea with me - with my tea! (You have to understand that breakfast is supposed to be included but in all the weeks I was there he made me a coffee once.) Anyway, we had a nice chat. He showed me pictures of his girlfriend and a poem she wrote for him. I’m a softie I suppose. :-)
