Our current hotel is alright, though the Helen and Berk set high standards. The place has free wireless only in the lobby, the restaurant is just okay, and the other guests are... well, there was a group of Germans that was WAY too into the mediocre guitar player near the bar. His version of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” was painful. So I chilled in the lobby and used the interwubs for a while, came upstairs, watched music videos on this Italian radio channel on TV until an absolutely horrid one came on, some Italian song that was trying way too hard to be an old Western video with two guys hitchhiking... almost Poison-esque, but so much worse. So I headed downstairs to try and find Nate, failed but did talk to Anh and John for a bit, got a drunk guy off Anh (he was really just drunk, I think, less hitting on her) by talking to him in German a bit, he was actually the guide for the obnoxious Germans (and considered them a bit “weird,” I think because two of them were pretty clearly lesbians). My German was very... rudimentary, but I got to talk to him a bit anyway. Anyway, came back upstairs, more music videos, showered, Nate's back, and we're talking about female singers as sex symbols in the music industry. Good times.
