    The document provides a comparison of hotels and hostels. Hotels are generally more luxurious and expensive, offering private rooms and bathrooms as well as amenities like room service. Hostels are used more by younger and budget travelers, requiring shared rooms and facilities but being much less expensive. Some key differences highlighted are that hostels don't provide linens, have more communal spaces and rules, and focus on backpackers rather than privacy.

    ῤnd sketch artists employed in a variety of areas in the workforce) to see if we could come up with a picture of what the thief looked like.

    square ? 

    Anna: His face was long and thin, I think. 


    Sketch artist: Were his   eyes  more round, bulging, or squinty? 

    Anna: Well, I think they were round, but not too round, and he had bushy eyebrows. He also had a   snub  nose, not a hooked one. 

    Sketch artist: Take at look at this so far. Is this right? 


    Anna: His nose in the sketch is a little too turned up. It was more straight. 
    Sketch artist: What about his ears? Were they big or small? And his mouth? Did he have thin or thick  lips ? 

    Anna: His ears were average size and they didn’t stick out too much, and they were   pointed . His lips were more thin than thick. 

    Sketch artist: We’re almost done. What about his hair? Did he have long or short hair? 
    Anna: Oh, didn’t I tell you? He’s  bald . He didn't have a hair in his head.

    Sketch artist: Is there anything else you remember about that man? Maybe something special about his color.... anything

    Ana: Now that you mentioned it, I remember he had freckles  all over his face. Also, he was a red  eye .

    Sketch artist: Okay, then. I’m done. What do you think? Is this the guy? 
    Anna: Wow, you’ve done a great job. Yeah, that’s him. That’s the guy who stole my wallet. I can recognize that  face anywhere. 
    Sketch artist: You know, he looks familiar. I have a feeling I’ve seen him before. 
    Anna: I hope so. Maybe you can help ῤnd him. 
    Sketch artist: Yeah, now if only I could remember where I’ve seen him before...

    Traveling Abroad
    By Casey Slide

    Some years ago I had the opportunity to travel around Europe with some students for three weeks. I visited Germany, the Czech Republic,
    Italy, and France. During my trip, I stayed in a number of dorm-like facilities, known as   hostels .

    Hostels are one of the most popular types of lodgings in Europe. But before you stay in a hostel for the ῤrst time, learn more about some
    pros and cons of hostels, and tips for staying in them.
    What Is a Hostel?
    A hostel is a low-budget accommodation shared among travelers. When a guest books a stay in a   hostel , he or she typically books

    a bed for the night, not a room. The guest's bed may be in a room with four other   travelers , or in a room with up to twenty

    travelers.
    Bathrooms are dorm-style; large, with several shower stalls and a row of sinks. Hostels usually have only one or two bathrooms on each
    ῼoor. Hostels tend to lend to more interaction, cost much less than a hotel , but do not provide the privacy or personal service

    found at a hotel.
    Advantages to Staying at a Hostel
    1. Inexpensive
    Hostels are cheap travel accommodations, especially when compared to staying in a hotel. Although prices vary from country to country,
    and hostel to hostel, I've compiled some average price ranges for hostels in frequently traveled European countries. Most of these rates
    apply to the majority of hostels throughout the world, though cheaper hostels exist in places like South America, and more expensive ones
    in cities like Washington, D.C. These rates are approximate, and the rates are per person, per night: England & Wales $10-$40, France
    $15-$30, Germany $25, Greece $15, Ireland $15-$35, Italy $10-$30, Spain $15-$25.
    2. Travel in Groups
    Staying in hostels allows everyone to   share  large rooms. In fact, some hostels allow up to twenty people to stay in one room. This

    can be a lot of fun, especially when you plan a group vacation, and eliminates the arguments over who shares rooms.
    3. Located in Most Major Cities Around the World
    Hostels are not as prevalent in the U.S., but they are everywhere in Europe. You can ῤnd hostels in most major European cities, and in most
    major cities across the globe, on every continent other than Antarctica.
    4. Most Have Fully Equipped Kitchens
    If you want to save money during your travels by cooking your own  food , many hostels have fully equipped kitchens you can

    use.
