damn spaniards!

i don't consider myself to be a discriminatory individual, but i'm starting to strongly dislike the spanish.

i know, i know, i shouldn't judge an entire country or culture by a few individuals. but they are costing us our precious (and expensive, at this hostel) sleep. yesterday we spent all day rejoicing that the spanish women who, for some unknown reason, loudly and jubilantly answered every cell phone call they received-- ALL NIGHT LONG!!

we were looking forward to getting some good sleep last night, and finally got to sleep despite the japanese snoring champion in the next bunk. but at 3:30am we awoke to another lovely individual of spanish nationality, noisily helping a drunken "Victor" into the top bunk next to us. they frequently reminded one another (using their outdoors voices, i might add) just how drunk they were, while unsuccessfully attempting to ascend the bunk ladder.

Victor was in fine form at breakfast, a mere 6 hours later. we, on the other hand, were completely exhausted with large dark circles under our eyes. our whole room reeked of sweaty, drunk dudes.

we are now passed out on the couch of our NEW hostel (we checked in an hour ago).
