Tiny thai men living in tents on top of metals roofs down an ally in Bangkok , legless men in Antigua Guatemala who sweep the walk ways to former anthropology students who started out living on the street as a social experiment then ending up liking it.

The Black Cat hostel in Antigua



Insanity, pure insanity. This was a hostel we stayed at in Antigua, Guatemala. This can only accurately be described if you have see one of two movies, The first ninja turtles where you see the Shreaders hide out where there are all the boys running around doing whatever they want, smoking playing poker, all the oldest sins done in the newest ways. Or possibly Hansels loft in Zoolander, which is along the same lines of the Ninja Turtles. Be it one or the other it was an incredibly interesting Hostel.
