An old man walks up the stairs while Sarah, Maryam and I are giggling on the top step.
He's in his climbing outfit, carrying a big backpack.
'Is this Hostel Beirut?'
Our heads turn and our mouths drop.
'...Yeah' I say.
'Do you have a booking?' Adds Maryam.
It's her shift today so she knew there were no more check-ins.
This was just a very interesting walk-in.
'No!' He says.
'But I checked online and it looked like you had spaces..!'
Maryam walks him in and does the booking.
'Experienced traveler huh!'
'Yeah' we mumble with Sarah.
Experienced traveler indeed.
He speaks about his Chinese girlfriend. He's from Canada himself. He's retired for ten years now and he has been to 63 countries. He loves to share stories and he wears a journalist's hat which hides his eyes unless he looks up. He's a medicine expert and he told us that Vitamin C does nothing to your immune system; unlike popular belief.
Bss I still had my vitamins!
