Shuyuan Hostel- Best I-miss-the-US-so-I-need-a-taste-of-Home hostel

To think, a hostel with better mattresses than we have at home. Now that is a rarity.









This is getting back into the groove of being a backpacker. I kinda missed these bunks! They were ultra comfy. The hostel also had a pizza oven! I haven't had pizza that I could call delicious since I left Chicago until I found this place. Needless to say, it was a good weekend for my stomach and taste buds. They also had silly straws and free coffee. The lounge was cozy with different flags. I found North Dakota and three Lithuania flags! Downstairs was a Buddha bar with live music. I call this pretty sweet!

Lesson learned: it is possible to find home away from home. You just have to look.

...and just to think that you would have not have stayed at that great hostel if the lady at the other hostel was nice to you and didn't accuse you of being an illegal alien! It sounds like you turned a very negative experience into a great one. I can't wait to see the photos of the soldiers!

The photos are coming in the next few days! Can't show all the goodies in one post :). And Rhody, I don't have anymore scary posts as of yet. :) So you are good for a while!

O and those two hostels were sister hostels owned by the same people, so they were very similar, but the one we ended up staying at was soooo much better! :)
