actually I don't think this is a very common -ism, but it's certainly thrown me for a loop.
I got back to my room yesterday and noticed that there was another guest, okay fine, but he had So. Much. Stuff. Seriously-- I think I counted 4 backpacks, two huge duffel bags and a HUGE lawn garbage bag full of clothes. The guy wasn't there (I just knew it was a guy.) Later he showed up, and turns out he was staying one night while he got out of a friend's apartment and before he moved in to his own place, supposedly today. Sure, whatever. So he goes out on the town pretty late, I mean it was after 12:00am. Then I heard him come in around 4:00am and I looked over, because his bed was sorta next to mine, and whoa-- did he just grow 6 inches worth of dreads and become a whole lot uglier??? WTF? But I didn't really think about it at 4:00am and went back to sleep. Then this morning, I wake up and there is this dude sitting on that bed-- and it's a TOTALLY DIFFERENT GUY but the same luggage is there!!?!? And he's like hey, how ya doin. The swedish dudes and I just sorta looked at each other as if to say WTF??? but they had no idea about anything either. So as I was leaving the hostel this morning I asked the girl at the front desk about it, but she didn't speak english very well. I think she understood what I was saying, and she looked at the name on the register and said (I think) "it's okay, we know who he is. He's fine." or something like that. I don't really give a shit as I'm out of there on an early bus to Brum tomorrow morning, but I still thought it was strange.
Oh, and the British Museum rocks. (Too bad it's like a pirate's nest of stolen goods, though.
