I loved it when it started. I rented a room from an old lady in Tokyo who didn’t speak one word of english but she loved that I brought her beer, and a bunch of Matrix looking EDM loving germans in Berlin.

Now it is just a shit and fucking expensive “hotelroom” where you have to pay and outrageous a clean fee up if you fart in the bedsheets
