SKY Whores Unite

Now that you know how to deal with jet lag, let’s figure out where you should be staying on arrival.
When I was a kid my parents only travelled to 3 places, NY every 2 weeks till I was in my late teens, church, and the local supermarket. Yes believe it or not, the latter 2 were considered field trips. I told my mom that my dream was to visit 2 places, London and Tokyo. Who would have known I would have lived in Tokyo and have a sister, whom I visit often living in London. My mom laughed at me (no she wasn’t an abusive parent who never supported her kids dreams). My mom came from a very simple background where if her kids had a family and a goat then they led a good life. Go figure.
Anyways, I knew I had an extensive family all over the world, but nowhere of interest. First thing I did was joining every student association I could join at university. Yes, I was the only black guy in the Vietnamese Student Association. I can go to Ho Chi Mihn and be called uncle by my friend’s kids. This does have its downfalls; you always show up with presents.
If you’re looking for cheap accommodations, look no further then these sites:
Hostel Club
Hostel Bookers
Hostels
Hostel World
For those of you wondering why would I send you to a place in Eastern Europe to be part of some S&M exploitation like the movie, get your head ‘outta’ your ass. Before that movie came out, ‘hostels’ were the most inexpensive respectful way of accommodations shy of escorting.
Def: “Hostels provide dormitory-style budget accommodation to travelers, with anywhere from two to dozens of guests sharing a room, depending on its size. Many hostels also provide private single and double rooms in addition to dormitory accommodation. Shared bathrooms are still the norm. For many hostellers, the opportunity to meet other travelers is part of their appeal.”
