Hostel Territory

So we've set off to Barcelona to live the dream and open our very own hostel. We're keeping this journal online to keep everyone updated of our progress, adventures and mishaps navigating Barcelona's booming tourism industry, Spanish bureaucracy, and daily life in Catalunya.

We´re having a slight problem here with people booking rooms with shared bathrooms and then arriving to discover that they have to, gasp, share a bathroom! Like, with other people! It´s really hard to be too sympathetic when people become totally enraged because they don´t have their own bathrooms. They did book a room with a shared bath. So this morning, we had one such case. Poor Gil got the brunt of it from a Belgian lady in a bath towel. I had to deal with it again later. ¨This is HOTEL, not camping¨was the refrain. I wanted to yell ¨Hostel! Hostel!¨back at her, but I managed to control myself. There´s not much else to do aside from smile and apologize. I can´t make a bathroom magically appear in each room.
