    My friend lives in New York. Bedbugs aren't nice, but they are commonplace. He caught them himself the other month, probably from somebody on public transport.

    Other countries have different bugs etc to us that they consider "not nice, but quite normal".
  • Hmm you have a good point there. Never thought of it that way - I guess it would be the same as staying in a 5 star hotel at the equator and complaining about mosquitoes...

    Thanks everyone! :) I think I will put this down to experience! No more youth hostels for me (unless it's the UK or Japan, which I know for a fact have very good standards of cleanliness)!
