Wilson and I checked into Hayarkon 48 Hostel and due to the enormous price difference between the private rooms vs. dorm rooms, we opted for a dorm room for $45. Many may say, you get what you pay for and we probably did get what we paid for - limited sleep - but our night stay provided a few comical moments that we will remember for a lifetime. If you haven't stayed at a hostel before, they often offer dorm rooms and private rooms. With dorm rooms, sometimes they can fill up to 8 people or in our case 4. Sometimes you may be lucky and have no one else join you, but of course that didn't happen ... our room filled up with two other girls -- which, doesn't seem so bad -- better chances for Wilson to score! jk. Ugh, that's a dirty thought... Ok, moving on. So what do you think happened? Did someone sCore in a room of four? or did someone sNore??? Snoring was the main culprit for our lack of sleep.
Wilson snores every now and then and for the last week he has been snoring quite consistently. He's a considerate person, so knowing he could potentially snore, he decided he'd try to sleep on his side -- no such luck. I heard someone snoring throughout the night. In the early part of the night, it was a modest humming noise and then it progressed to a roaring like noise that could wake up people down the hall. It was intense! I was unable to fall back asleep and decided to get up to hush Wilson, but to my surprise, it was not him! Wilson's eyes were open and we quickly discovered that it was one of the girls in the room. WOW! That girl can snore! Whew! She could be the drummer in the band and play without any equipment! just amazing!
Wilson and I looked at one another and tried to figure out what time it was -- 6:00 am -- still too early to get ready for the day (especially for Wilson who normally gets up around 8:30/9:00 am). So what to do?
Wilson slept in the bunk below hers and since her blanket was slightly hanging over the bed, he decided to tug on it a little, hoping it would wake her up. The blanket moved, but she didn't budge and her roaring snore grew louder. Wilson tugged on the blanket a little harder and it was now halfway down to the floor. Still no movement and the snoring continued. Wilson and I couldn't help but laugh. And even our laughter didn't wake her up! (and for those of you who know us, we can laugh pretty loud)... so, Wilson and I were in disbelief... Man, this girl snores like a rock star and she was a heavy sleeper!?!?! What a lucky combo!
Next, we decided to try and make some "real" noise - but not so much that it would wake up the third girl -- who was quite remarkably still asleep (not sure how she was still asleep, since the building next door was probably awake from her snoring!). But our noise didn't work either -- and Wilson and I just stared at each other and decided to try and go back to sleep. Yeah, right -- wishful thinking!

Eventually, the third girl woke up and said aloud "I can't believe this, this is the worse snoring I've ever heard -- worse than my ex-boyfriends!" She quite simply yelled over to the girl to tell her she was snoring very loudly and asked her to sleep on her side. Finally, the snoring girl woke up, apologized, and turned on her side. Within seconds she was back asleep and the SNORING continued. Unbelievable. We were just in shock and unaware of what we could do next. Nothing really, but to let the rock music continue.
It was 6:45 am... Wilson decided to play music out loud on his iPhone, the third girl decided to get ready for the day, and I decided to continue on with my blog. There was no way anyone would be able to fall back asleep. So, I guess sometimes, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get! And in this case, sometimes its hit or miss with random roommates. Unfortunately for us, we got a free show to a rock concert!
... want a taste of the music? I of course, recorded a part of the show. Its not the entire event ... I wouldn't do that to you because we wouldn't want a hole developing in your ear drum. So when you're ready, press play!
