Q1: Would You Rather…

January 20, 2012 by Caroline Eaton 14 Comments

Travelers are often interviewed and asked detailed questions about the who, why, how and how much of their adventures.

For a change, let’s have some fun – we will be starting a weekly “would you rather” question for everyone currently traveling or who have a love of travel to answer and laugh at the comments, ideas and possible disagreements with the differences of opinions. With your comment leave the reason for why you support your answer and see if you can convince others. Also leave us ideas for future would you rather questions that you want your friends to struggle to answer!

Would You Rather…Sleep in a noisy hostel or Take an ice cold shower?

    Never! I will put in ear plugs for a noisy hostel – but still enjoy a warm shower if I was given the choice!

    I’ll take the noisy hostel any day because I’m practically deaf.

    The cold shower ruins the entire day. I’ve had to experience the cold shower twice in the past year at nice hotels. I’ll take noise any day.

    Cold shower – quick and dirty. Noisy hostel-long and painful! 🙂

    cold shower, having experienced both many times at hostels, i can safely say the short pain of a cold shower is much more tolerable than a noisy hostel and not being able to sleep all night. a little shrinkage never killed anyone!

    Noisey hostel! I’m a pretty deep sleeper, so it’d have to be extremely noisey to keep me up. But I could always put in ear phones or my MP3 player to wake me up. If it was a cold shower…I just wouldn’t shower. I literally can’t stand cold showers.

    Noisy hostel! That’s why I carry earplugs. There are few things worse than an ice cold shower… Well, a scalding hot shower is worse, and yes I have come across that in my travels.

    By the way, Caroline has taken quite a few cold showers now, and she doesn’t seem to mind them that much. 🙂
