The Hive's Journey

Starting a business sure ain't easy. Well, who said it was? Haha...I thought it would be nice idea to have the creation, the growth and happenings of The Hive archived and shared with everyone. It's like seeing a child grow and have a special affiliation with it. Happy reading and have a wonderful Journey with The Hive : The Backpackers' Hostel.

It's overflowing here!

No kidding man. We are packed with guests on this very day, 3 Aug 2005

11 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 24

Ok...we only have four room so where the heck are the 3 guests sleeping?

In our Internet area.

We have two groups who booked the 2 dorms and 2 couples taking the two private rooms. A Danish couple walked in this afternoon when i was away and they said wanted to stay with us. Although they were told that we are full today and will only be able to give them a proper room tomorrow, they suggested to take the lounge for the night. They said they like it here and they do not mind spending a night there as long as they can get a bed the next day.

Then later in the evening a lady turned up. Told her about our situation but she looked drained and she also didnt mind sleeping in the Internet area.

Sure i was happy they like the hostel but i want them to have a proper room. But there was no way i could give them a room tonight. The best i could do was to bring down the mattresses for them, which i eventually did.

Spent 6 hours re-arranging the furniture in the lounge with Dennis. This is so to accommodate the opening of the cafe. Shagged us out completely and the dust is causing me to have a really bad nose now.

Not having enough sleep for the past few day is bad enough. And i had to prepare for 10 people on 1 Aug and after that rush for another group of 10 the next day. Tomorrow is going to be a killer. After the group leaves, i need to wash the linen and iron them.

Yeah you would say that this is good news. That business sounds good. Hopefully things takes a turn for the better now and then i would have an excuse to hire a helper. Heehee...time for me to take the back seat.

Updates coming up later....for now (0130hrs, 4 Aug) ...going to Mustafa to buy bread for tomorrow.
