It’s crucial to understand that in the backpacker world,
claiming to have spotted bed bugs in your room is a serious accusation, so we
felt it necessary to provide evidence.
After chasing the fugitive around the wall with an iPhone light and
mangled zip-lock bag, we finally managed to cuff, fingerprint and lock-up the
little sucker to show the front desk. One look from the receptionist, and we
knew we had escaped utter misery.
Thankfully we found it before we went to bed. No harm, no foul, and now
a pair of backpacker stripes.

NOTE:
To preserve the integrity of the hostel, we shall withhold their name. But it’s important to note, they were incredibly understanding and immediately moved us to an upgraded room as soon as they saw the culprit. (They promised to fumigate the room the next day, as well.) So, please do not let this little anecdote deter you from trying out the hostel life. This is a very rare occurrence, and it can happen to any place, anywhere in the World, including 4-star hotels.

Yikes! I am happy you found it before it found you. I for one would have changed hostels.
ReplyDeleteBoom. One night in Marriott coming right up.
DeleteDang! Good thing you found it. I've found a couple ticks crawling on me in bed this summer... Bodi was picking them up from the yard so I had to spread some poison.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck on the soft-serve quest...
