Hello! 我是 Victor.

I'm Nancy.

I stayed at a Youth Hostel¹.

Victor, remember last week we talked about staying at a B&B?

Now we're still using the word stay, not live. But now we're talking about Youth Hostels².

A Youth Hostel is a cheap hotel for bagpackers.

Hostels are great. You can meet a lot of people. And they're sometimes in castles or fortresses³.

Ok, I stayed at a Youth Hostel.

Bye-bye.
