Unbeknownst to Lee and I when we selected the name, Duo means many in Chinese. As in "This summer we have had duo Chinese guests."

Nationalities of guests come in waves. We had a period with a lot of Japanese guests, another of Brazilians, and now Chinese. We have theories about customer reviews being left in languages attracting other guests that speak that language or write-ups in guidebooks and blogs of these nationalities that we don't know about. This Chinese wave is significant and seemingly lasting. Glancing at the book, I have one day in September with reservations from Yaohua, Zhao, Qianli, Zhung, Wang, Pan, Qing, Hu, Mao, Chen, Feng, Nie, and Xia (my apologies if I've included a name that isn't actually Chinese....I'm working on it).

Know anyone who speaks Mandarin that's looking for hostel work??
