The sharing culture is very strong at the hostel I am staying in. Everything is shared with little regard. Food, water, cars, and tobacco. It really doesn’t matter what it is or who it belongs to. Everyone is willing to share what they have here. And they don’t ask for anything in return.
It was a bit shocking to me at first. We all know that sharing should be encouraged but usually, there is a line that isn’t crossed. Most people won’t share as much as they can in fear that they will not get anything back or they will be abused.
But here that really isn’t an issue. Because everyone is sharing everything all the time. If you are not sharing you seem like an outsider. Like someone who doesn’t belong. I am getting more comfortable with the idea.
I’ve been to plenty of hostels around the world and I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s on a totally new level and I’m happy to be here and experience this.
