I am Sparticus

Day 5

So in Rome now. The hostel we ended up at is run by Indians, they provide free bfast and dinner, plus like a free beer or something. Thats about the end of the positives, the common room is little more than a large office area, 3 bedrooms hold 30 beds, and for those 30 people they share....2 bathrooms. The whole thing is basically a 3 bedroom apartment/house thing converted into a super packed in hostel. We showed up just in time for dinner last night, so then you have about 20-30 people packing into an area for maybe 10 to hang out. Ever been to one of those parties where you cant move its so crowded? Im living at that party for 3 days. My bed is on top of the lockers.

To get us ready for the hostel, we slept in a "couchette". Its basically a small train car that sleeps 6 people. It wasnt nearly as bad as it could have been, as the couchette-mates were cool, 2 Duke froshes, and 2 Italian chicks. Off to see the Colosseum.

Who knew a over 2,000 year old city would be so dirty.
