THERE ARE MANY HOSTELS AVAILABLE IN EASTERN EUROPE...
IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO "JOIN" THE "HOSTELS INTERNATIONAL" AND GET THEIR CARD...JUST IN CASE YOU ARE ASKED FOR IT BY THE HOSTEL TO SHOW SOME KIND PROOF OF MEMBERSHIP... ALTHOUGH MEMBERSHIP IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE NEEDED...?
BESIDES...THE CARD IS CHEAP...ABOUT $28 PER YEAR IN THE US...
YOU CAN BUY THE "PACKET" FROM MANY TRAVEL AGENTS...WHO SELL THESE MEMBERSHIPS...
THEN YOU SIMPLY REGISTER YOUR CARD ON-LINE... SO YOU'RE "LEGAL"....
NOTE THAT YOU ARE OFFERED SOME "FREE" INSURANCE WITH MEMBERSHIP...SO A NAME AND ADDRESS AND PHONE OF YOUR "BENEFICIARY" WILL BE NEEDED...WHEN FINALIZING YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
HOSTELS ARE A GOOD FALL BACK POSITION WHEN TRAVELING...
MANY OFFER SINGLE ROOMS AT A FAIRLY CHEAP PRICE...IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THE "DORM" SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS...
WHICH CAN BE PROBLEMATIC IN SOME CASES...BUT ARE USUALLY OK...
