... minutes later, I was in my hostel. Thanks hostelworld.com for giving the most ambiguous directions ever! I'm switching to hostelbookers.com.  Aivengo is nothing special. Heidi and I met up Tuesday night and we were beds E and F in the 12 bed females ...

We stayed at the Aivengo Youth Hostel in Amsterdam for 3 nights where we met some interesting people. --The British kids on "holiday" who sang weird songs and clapped during their drinking games and said funny things like, "this wine is foul!" --Crazy ...

... to everything cos they're jealous the Germans have longer words), and agreed to pay half our total cost, as well as the amount Aivengo charged his credit card. What a nice guy, how can I pick on someone so generous?! The weather was freezing, we saw our ...

... with dorms given names like "Opa's Girlfriend". I am in the Angel Room and its great for the price paid! Much better than Aivengo, though the location is challenging. The tram system gets the job done though. I just wish they would use the Euro here ...
