Take that

Our hostel room gets rather toasty some nights, so we keep the window by my bed open to let air circulate. Part of living in Camden has involved getting use to the crazy night-life that goes on here. It's not all "a whole new world" (begin Aladddin song). I use to get woken up regularly at 4am to people yelling at eachother at the McDonald's Drive-thru by my house in Toronto. All that to say, the night-life here is pretty rowdy, and especially living in the room above the entrance to the hostel. Lots of people smoke here, so the smell of cigarettes is often wafting up into our room, along with lots of noise at hours of the day when people are suppose to be sleeping. Last night I got a little tired of it, so I dumped the remains from my Nalgene water bottle out the window to see what would happen (passive, I know). "Wait for it... wait for it." The talking stopped, and I heard someone shout, "You idiot!" (Who, me?)Then the talking ceased, quite quickly after the whole thing. I slept great!
