Xian Hostel 2

It was the second hostel in which I stayed in Xian. Due to my head cold, I made an effort to get a $20 private room for 3 days. I did that so that I could sleep well. The room was well worth the money. Quite comfortable, with a couple of minor irritations. First, the mattress was on the floor. I haven’t slept on a mattress on the floor since the 1960′s. Second, the shower vacillated between very hot and very cold without any interference from me. Catching it at the right temperature became something of a personal challenge for me, one in which I ultimately failed. In the end, I started using the communal shower down the walkway.
