Two Days in the Hotel




Our first two nights were at a hotel within walking distance of our language school. Yes, we did have to jump right in to language class the very next day after we got off the plane but on the whole it has not been a bad experience. We are taking one thing at a time - although, it does seem to be a quick track ; )

The hotel was nice and clean but reminded me a little of a version of our Microtels in the states, though, there were a few differences. Every bit of space was well used. The view from the window looked onto the backs of the buildings on the block and the bathroom was an experience. The big white thing over the toilet was the handle you pushed to flush and the tub was so high that I banged my knee just stepping in. Another funny thing is they don't use wash clothes (they are hard to even find to buy) and the only soap they had, at least in the hotel is tubes of liquid soap that is used for face, hair, and hands. Actually, the soap worked well for my hair which really surprised me.
