MilhouseFeeling slightly bored, and for the change in scenery I moved to the Milhouse hostel about a week ago. Situated downtown, near the business center of Buenos Aires, the hostel is in a three storey house, and is the home to over 160 people. Life here is very hectic, people seem to come and go all the time and the place itself has a more business feel to it then 'El Firulete'. Milhouse caters for the needs of a variety of guests, it organises trips to a large number of social events including football matches, tango shows and barbecues. There´s a large bar, TV room, pool table, laundry service, and even an in-house travel agent. I guess the only drawback is the highly inflated prices. <br />

The hostel seem to live up to its reputation of having a ´party´atmosphere, as it attracts a young crowd, most ready to party almost every night of the week. I met some very interesting people here, including a large number of Brits, some were friendly, some were not. The ones in my dorm were a bunch of animals, they were a group of kids getting drunk every night making a nuisance of themselves and a mess Milhouse 2of both the dorm and the toilets.

I made a good friend here called Chris, a chilled out guy from New York, taking a two week holiday from work. Some of the more interesting characters were - a South African guy, I think his name was Neil, but as he didn´t respond to it we just referred to him as ´N´. He was rather predatory when it came to women, and one night when unsuccessful he did his best to put off Chris´s new female friend with his drunken comments. Another guy I met was from Brazil with a very short attention span. He was kind of like ´N´without the brains. We ended up calling him the ´dude´, as we forgot his name but didn´t get the chance to ask him again. We had to listen to ´N´to find him amusing, whereas with the dude we only had to observe, as his actions were more or less random.
