The hotel sold out.... Where to spend the night in a strange city?

in #journey8 years ago (edited)

 Are you familiar with this situation? You happen to be in a strange city, and the hotel sold out. Or these places are so expensive that your wallet will be much thinner after a night spent in the apartment. If at all something remains... What is the solution?  

 Of course, it is better to plan ahead. And ride and accommodation. But sometimes intervened his Majesty the Case — and you are alone with the unknown in a strange, unfriendly city. But desperate situations does not happen. Not on the bench in the dark Park tonight!

If you are in a difficult situation the day the problem is solved simply. In any kiosk to buy fresh, local newspaper and looking for ads on the delivery of apartments in employment. Better rent. If you want to stay only one night — it would be cheaper to rent a room in an apartment with owners.

If the night is nearing, better still on the train or bus to get acquainted with neighbors in the compartment and ask them to help with sleep. Most importantly, not to shade and safely start Dating. Language will lead to Kiev. Remember our trip to Sukhumi to relatives. There is Daily train from Sochi was not, and we were arriving to the destination late at night. A coupe met a beautiful Greek woman. Talking. Explained that I would have to spend the night at the station, as there was no time to give a telegram to relatives. She immediately invited us to his, and in the morning took to the specified address. The good people much more than notorious scams. For many years we have corresponded with this beauty.

Of course, you can spend the night at the station. Better if in the rest room. However, there are rarely empty seats. In the waiting room Goodnight you do not wish. It definitely will not be! A regular ad on the radio and document checks by police are unlikely to help you relax.

If you have a big company — it is best to remove for the night a sauna. Believe me, cheaper than the hotel at all. Moreover, the saunas at night, they give great discounts. There is a table, and the house. Pure linen sofas, a large bed. And even washed!

Will always provide bed and monasteries. Luxury apartments there are no promises, but a clean bed and a modest dinner is guaranteed. Once themselves use such a service in Italy. Gathering in Rome, called every hotel is sold out everywhere. Then decided to try his luck in the monastery — and immediately found this. However, in the Italian monasteries you will be charged for lodging, and for meals.

And it's better to plan your trip in advance. Now, so when the Internet developed to make it easier. In social networks recorded — and find people from that city or country where you head. All of them immediately dropped a cry for help. The main thing is to formulate your SOS. I usually write like this — "Need your help". And to the point. Briefly and clearly. 20 from 5-6 people will respond definitely. Choose the most emotional — and more!

Who seeks will always find! The road will master going.
