Yep, the room had 4 beds but we booked the entire room for the 3 of us. A newbie receptionist didn’t note it down and so we came back Christmas eve to find a stranger, topless in the double bed (which made it awkward as my friends were a couple and it was meant to be their bed.) We wanted him to be relocated as we paid for the room and for our privacy. The hostel staff made us kick him out ourselves. He was nice about it though, poor guy. </span></p>http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48641348716http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48641348716Tue, 23 Apr 2013 08:01:00 +1000Travel CartoonsHostel<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/622f6795ed226da2d035978a027bcb3b/tumblr_mkt7aoVeJb1ro9davo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>#8: Munich</strong><br/><em>(Munich)</em></span></p>http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48471243384http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48471243384Sun, 21 Apr 2013 08:01:46 +1000MunichGhost tourTravel Cartoons<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/95c7954c947beb33066e29e6ee8acbd7/tumblr_mlgfl1Eo551ro9davo1_r3_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>For my friend @anouchika because I felt the need to draw something pretty.</p>http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48277779424http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48277779424Fri, 19 Apr 2013 00:15:00 +1000colour sketch<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cdd5b0fba65abac6ce1060fb96d52769/tumblr_mkt77kDdap1ro9davo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>#7: Euroshop</strong><br/><em>(Munich… and presumably Australia for the second panel.)</em></span></p>http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48227412311http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48227412311Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:01:58 +1000EuroshopTravel Cartoons<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ccd6b9bc63853bd670798a9adf961142/tumblr_mkole0mXRr1ro9davo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>#6: Boys boys boys boys boys boys boys</strong><br/><em>(London)</em></p> <p>Of the 21 cartoons, this is still my favourite. :D</p>http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48069410622http://arutea.tumblr.com/post/48069410622Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:02:01 +1000girl talklondongossipTravel Cartoons
