title is pretty self explanatory... just wondering the strangest place you've slept while on the road.

Knew it was here somewhere.
weirdest-place-you-ve-ever-slept-t7331.html

On the night ferry from Surat Thani to Ko Samui, next to an absolutely hammered British teenager whose sole piece of luggage was a suitcase full of liquor bottles...

1. Outside of a tiny town on the bottom of the copper canyon, just off the road. We just felt safer OUT of the town than in it, and hitching didn't work out.

2. On the porch of a restaurant near the Peten. A bit dangerous to say the least. Once more, in a hammock.

3. in Schipol airport, because I made reservations a day later(or thought i did) in Amsterdam.

4. On a beach in mexico, on a hammock. Quite weird, because the place never quieted down, and I didn't get one bit of sleep the entire night. I never felt safe.

Sorry I have no whorehouse or police station stories.

oh yeah

5. In a hotel by the Guatemalan/mexican border. It was plain weird and sketchy. My travel companion managed to anger a boy by not paying him to 'watch' his car, so of course someone launched a flourescent tube through our front window. It was a miracle they didn't damage our car.
The hotel room was a dump...

6. A cheap 'jail hotel' in Mexico city. It was darn cheap, and I didn't want to go hostel searching. It was a 10 story edifice with steps and a tiny elevator. There were many jail cell like rooms looking down over a main lobby in the center of the 'lobby'. It was always dark, smelled like urine, and seemed to have more than their share of night-walkers and transients. Still, it was cheap. Probably still is, though I won't go back there unless I have to, again. So happened last time I stayed there, I was waiting for new Travelling papers from Mexico city authorities.

Name of Hotel Edison, near Plaza de Republica( I think), near Casa de los Amigos. Next to it was the the best Torta stand I found in the entire city.

Not really strange, but on an overnight sleeper bus in China. It's a bus with built-in bunk beds. It was kinda fun and different. Each bed actually had seatbelts to make it feel a little safe.

1) Took a nap in front of the old Medici Palace in Florence one afternoon. Not really planned and there are all these people lounging about there so I didn't feel like a total bum on that one.

2) Similarly, the geekiest place had to be the Hotel Monopole in Milan I stayed at a night while getting ready to hop on a plane early the next morning. Not to betray my field of study too much, I'm sure you all eagerly learned in physics class that there is a theoretical particle called the "monopole."

3) A treehouse in Laos. Look up "The Gibbon Experience" when you have a moment if you're heading that way...

4) The obligatory "tent in Africa where I got up to go to the bathroom and faced a deadly creature" story. In my case it was a black mamba in Namibia- the flashlight caught his eyes in the grass and some heavy stomping caused the eyes to glide away and disappear- ran straight back into the tent and zipped it up tight!

5) The same room in a hostel in Dubrovnik where an Australian backpacker disappeared and was presumed murdered last year (big deal over there I gather, she went home with some locals after getting drunk at a nightclub or something). Absolutely floored when I learned this as the family who ran the hostel has to be the nicest you'll ever come across, but now I'm Facebook friends with a (hopefully former) murder suspect.
