I've now sampled 4 hostels in & around London. The best is an hour from central London, but it's roomy, free Wifi & is inexpensive. Staff is good & guests are East Europeans, Africans & a few Brits here to work in east London. Great conversations.
Two guys from Estonia speak very good English; two from Nigeria - 1 great, the other annoying. He's always talking about "the west" in terms that are offensive. Nigerians culturally talk very loudly, what we'd call yelling. When he gets going, it's head for the hills!
Several interesting conversations w/ people from Australia, Sweden and Spain - a chance to practice my Spanish.
I'm convinved Americans should come to Europe & mingle. It's eye opening.

Thoughts on the amazing people I get to meet.
Rich, my 19 year old friend, soon to be Franciscan and recent community member at Haley House in Boston. An article he wrote.
