Youth Hostel-London
Chris and I stayed in Youth Hostels while bashing around Europe (really just London and Paris), last week and this was not something I had experienced before. Despite my fears of a bunk mate named Sven snoring thunderously above me every night in our six person dorm, or the idea of creaky bunk beds and musty blankets with 19 year old Australians arriving drunk into the room at all hours of the night (a few of the places on Hostelworld.com advertised “Stay here if you love beer,”) it was actually really cool. Hostels are a fun way to meet people from all over, who mostly speak English and are trekking around for the same reasons you are, to see the world and experience a culture other than their own for a decent price. Yes, my husband slept on the bunk above me and no, it was not our honeymoon all over again, but it brought us distinctly back to our days of living in the dorms at Central Michigan, only in London with Australians, Canadians, an Argentinean, and a few Americans for roommates.
These frames are from our first hostel in the Lambeth neighborhood of London. It was our first stop so I took more photographs at this hostel than the others. There must have been some sort of smudge on my lens, which is noticeable in the second photo. We stayed here for two nights and it was within walking distance of Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, etc. Breakfast was free every morning. The milk was whole but Nutella was available for toast and the tea was excellent.

super colorful shots… why are they sort of glowy though?
I know…I think it’s because this was right after I unpacked my bag and there was a smudge on my lens. After cleaning it, the glow goes away..
glow aside, you are the queen of color. I don't know what you do, but your colors always hum…withouth looking like you have blown out any values in the process. They look saturated but not contrived. And you make ordinary things look fresh and vibrant.
I just want to say I’m new to blogs and seriously enjoyed your website. Likely I’m want to bookmark your blog post . You actually have good articles. Cheers for revealing your website.
The next time I read a blog, Hopefully it won’t fail me as much as this one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I actually thought you would have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
Excellent blog post. I absolutely appreciate this website. Thanks!
Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
