My Lima hostal

Loki hostals are synonymous with heaven for backpackers trailing through Peru and Bolivia. A friend in Ecuador recommended them, and the Loki in Lima has lived up to its reputation. It hosts a bar, a pool table, free internet, cheap bunkbed-filled rooms and an incredible array of travelers. As one Argentine put it, "modern-day Babel is Loki"-- except everyone understands each other despite the numerous language barriers. Everyone, that is, save the neighbors. As I was exiting the rather noisy bar, an egg flew over the outside wall and smashed onto the patio. Apparently the multicultural party world that is Loki can be a little bothersome...
