You can expect a few minor accidents to occur while staying in a hostel. Having said that, do stuff nice and slowly to refrain from getting yourself hurt at certain parts where you don't wish to.
- Room is small enough to have you knocking your body parts(frequently exposed one just in case this statement may cause confusion) on furnitures e.g. Study table, chair, Bed....
- Since you have to eat in your room leaving your food on your supposedly study table, you have your Milo, Coffee, Nescafe whatever spilled on your table. Worse still, your notes and hardwork becomes a mere soaked brown recycled like paper. Laptop becomes a victim too because the study table so happens to be the notebook's form of support too. Wow.
- Because you eat in the room, you have crumbs dropping on the floor leaving a trail of uninvited visitors be it ants or lizards (thank god there are no cockroaches, YET) making themselves comfortable in my already comfortable pigeon hole.
- Lousy flip flops for your convenience to the bathroom and sometimes downstairs to the dining hall to get food, a missed step results in a slip and fall on the corridor is enough to raise 'cheers' among uncivilised ones.
- While in the bathroom, you may get your clean fresh smelling clothes or any other stuff dropped on the bathroom floor. This occurs mainly in common bathrooms. You get soooo frustrated and yucky-fied you feel like lying on the floor and roll yourself around since your clothes are already dirty. (this sounds extremely disgusting)
- Making a short trip to the bathroom at the other end of the floor without pockets on your pants. Risk : dropping your room keys, handphone, etc. into toilet bowl. Consequently flushing it down cause sign there says please flush after use.
- When you see your MSN tab blinking, do not get excited cause you may end up sitting on the edge of the chair which may not appeal to your lower body. Be careful.
- When closing room door behind you, make sure toes are free from the doors propinquity, to ensure your toes don't get caught underneath the door OUCH because doors need to be slammed shut instead of closed shut. Tradition at hostels i guess.
That's all i can think of. If i encounter anymore 'accidents' will add on.
