Yep it's literally all together. There's just one door that connects like the corridor of the rooms/hostel to the pub. It's definitely a lot of fun and they're probably the most enjoyable places for me I just neeeever buy drinks in pubs, so for me it's either sneak in some drinks or get others to buy them for me

Like different flavours? Have you actually tried vapes before? I can't remember what flavours I had before but they were soooo good. But yeah I do agree that some weed is better but you should deffo do both. @ having separate ones for y'all, I love when people roll me a whole cig/joint and I'm still like "are you sureeee" just to be polite

Ohhh yeah makes sense, do you mind sleeping with people or do they wake you up at all? Almost everyone I stay with complains about others snoring/making noise in the room and I don't even notice it... literally nothing wakes me up Lmaoo it's true, you make friends really quickly too. After like 3 months staying in my first house, when I was collecting rent for the manager probably my closest friend there hadn't paid for 3 weeks and hadn't got money so I ended up paying £180 for him to stay till he could pay back, never thought I'd do something like that

So is it like a connected building or the hostel & pub are just like right there on the same block & associated with each other? Either way I'd probably start drinking every day too and go to that pub every chance I got That is toooooo convenient for people's own good

My friend got a couple new vape pens and he's praising them so much and wants me to try so bad but idk I'm not really down with the vaping tho. I'm more pumped to just get high which might be happening this weekend or if not then next. He said this stuff is GOOD and he's gonna have a blunt rolled & ready for a couple of us each to have our own.

Friends, ex-gf in the past, friends of friends at times depending how many people go / what it's for. Or if you mean random people met in the area, yeahhh it's happened before but really rare at least not staying for the night to sleep. Mostly just a few people or a bigger group in which we all still know each other well. Ahhh the hostel life really is like Big Brother I feel like they must feel so similarly and by the end of the season they're so used to it.

Yeah exactly They've got to promote their business and try make people go to the pub which I get but it's also annoying. Like if you get caught with your own you can potentially be banned. It is a loooot of fun being in a pub/hostel though, you can be in that environment and meet a bunch of different people and then go pass the hell out about 10 steps away in bed

Ohhh I've done vaping as well, it's nice, sooo many good flavours but I don't see how it could replace actually smoking tbh... you don't get the buzz in the same way, it's just exhaling smoke with usually a small amount of nicotine Yeahh shisha is a bit of fun to do socially but something I'd get bored of in time I think but some real nice flavours too. Soooo true, hot guy smoking is even hotter

Do you sleep with random people or just with friends?? Tbh I totally get that though, before being in London I never imagined it and when I've spoken with people about it they're like ".. what the ****..." but honestly after about a week or so of staying with the same people they don't even feel like strangers anymore and I feel so comfortable around them

Ohhh right that totally makes sense then. I didn't know/forgot some of them sell alcohol there connected to a pub. So it's just like how many places won't let you bring in your own alcohol, theaters won't let you bring in your own snacks, etc. Understandable they trying to make money but still stupid

Yeah a lot of weed smokers do smoke cigarettes / vape as well but the cigs & vapes never appealed to me just so much more I hear about the health hazards with those and how easily it is to get addicted/hard to quit. Hookah's not too bad to me either but I get sick of it / haven't done hookah that many times. I'm just random Lmaooo but yeah I do feel like people can be / or try to be really smooth with it so I see how it could be found attractive

Yeah like when I've gone to AC / hotels for trips down to the Jersey shore etc. I'm fine with sleeping with even a huge number of people in the same room but just in like a public space or say around total strangers, I couldn't imagine being passed out / fallen asleep, it'd freak me out a bit after waking up Living in hostels def probably makes you used to it tho, I'd probably feel the same way then after a few nights there.

Yeah So usually it's the places i've stayed that are pubs/hostels together (because they want you to buy their alcohol I guess). Everyone has to be 18+ to stay in hostels or drink though. But also some that are regular hostels because they don't want any trouble etc. I've deffo had a lot of arguments with people in hostels AND houses when I've been drunk tho lmao

Yep deffo and understood them a lot more too I think. I did drink with them but hardly ever smoked, just very occasionally some weed if I felt in the mood. Weeeelll why don't you try it out with dating me? Before smoking or even trying it though, I was kinda like I wouldn't mind if I was in a relationship with someone who smoked bc it's attractive af esp on guys

Lmaoooo it's totally tragic sometimes esp in a hostel. I do usually remember at least vague memories though so it's not tooooo bad. And I thought the same, had never slept in a public place/with others before going to ldn but its very easy to get used to and I got so close to everyone. Damn those were good times </3
