I have mentioned several times about various roommates we have had. Since Silent Bob and Fabio we have had many roommates, including several random Brazilian girls who only actually slept there during the daylight hours, two Chinese women for one night, a Japanese dude, and the Australian dude, and the random, rotating Brazilian dude.
For the past week we have been sharing our four bed dorm room with two of the cleanest smelly people I have ever met. They came to us after the two Spanish speaking (and we are certain English speaking, but they never let on!)girls left. We weren't sad to see them go as there was a bit of an unspoken war over the air conditioner (the crazy girls, who were sleeping on the boiling hot top bunks) would continuously turn the air off. I don't know how they didn't melt, and I mean that. They also always tried to steal the bathroom, even though they had nothing to do/nowhere to go, and we obviously had Spanish school!
We have been living with these two young Brazilian girls. They are quite sweet, or at least we thought so at first. Our first red flag came during their first night here, when after one of then had a shower and hung up her towel the room was overcome with an overwhelming stink of body odour (otherwiswe known as BO). On the first day of their seven day vacation! I would completely ubderstand if they had been traveling for weeks or months, or had been riding the bus for five straight days (that is how the Australian guy came to us, stinky as they come, straight after five days of busing from Bolivia. But we forgave him.)
Anyways, it's a stink that won't quit and we can't quite figure out particularly what it is, because the skinny one, who we are pretty sure is the number one culprit, has, on average three showers per day. It's all a bit mind boggling.
Anyways, that was overly negative, so I'll end with a positive note. I am thankful for hot showers (I had one this morning after two days of cold showers, and it was lovely. Even I though there was no shower curtain. We haven't quite figured out what has happened to our curtain (it just diapeared one day!) but we have mentioned it repeatedly, with no response. Who knows.
Welcome to Latin America!Things are good in this sweet, sweet continent. And, since I wrote that post about four days ago, we have moved rooms and have two lovely American dudes as roomies (sadly, only until tomorrow! The normal ones always leave so quickly!). Things are delightful, and we even have a shower curtain again!
So many things to be thankful for!
