head in the sand.. and a bed in the storeroom.
I have noticed since I purchased my flight to the UK that I have avoided looking at the balance of my credit card. I know that I am spending money, I know when I see the electronic receipt pop up in my email telling me that .
You have purchased return flights to Copenhagen
You have purchased a night in an orange box
You have purchased travel insurance, good luck
I just.. can’t bear to see what my credit card balance is right now.. I need payday to make me feel better.
Speaking of orange boxes, A friend pointed out a website to me, I was looking for accomodation in London for one night, and he suggested easyhotel.com. I checked it out, and found that they have a no frills hotel in the centre of London. “Awesome” I thought to myself and clicked through.For £38,00 I get a small 7 sqm room, with a moulded bathroom/toilet ensuite (one big piece of plastic) and a double bed, and no windows.
Think of one of those storage rooms you rent in those places way out of the city for those things you never use again. Cool concept.

I paid 42 pounds (can’t find the symbol) per week for a dorm bed at the Dover Castle in ‘95. Not that I would recommend staying there. It is generally for longer stays where you have a job. A hundred bucks for a night probably isn’t too bad.

Hate to say it, but when i was in London, I stayed in some FOUR star accomodation and it was utter SHITE. The hotels over there are dismal. I can only imagine what horrors were found at the backpackers.
