Day 51

Today I met John, a guy staying in our hostel.  I was talking to one of the staff members about stupid tattoos as a guy in a black T-shirt and horn-rimmed glasses passed by.  He stopped to comment on the conversation and never left.  John is a Canadian who is simply traveling through Europe for four months on college loans after graduating last year.  He's been to several countries so far and have a couple months left to go.  John sat and talked with us for a while and invited us out for drinks before he went to a live sex show.  Needless to say, it wasn't our cup of tea.  The next day I was kind of turned off by John and his uncensored antics.  After his night out he gave us a graphic description of the sex show including reenactments and sprinkled it with various curse words and exclamations of "Jesus Christ!"  Bear in mind, we are in the middle of a Christian Youth Hostel common area.  I admire people who don't give a shit what people think about them, but there is very often a fine line between that and being disrespectful.  John crossed that.  But oh well, to each his own I suppose.

  1. To each his own is correct but often we are judged because we occupy the neighboring stool
