At 8am I got a phone call from the hotel receptionist who
wanted to know whether or not I was planning on going to breakfast this
morning. I declined and then at 10am housekeeping came to clean my room which
necessitated me getting dressed rapidly in order to shoo them away. For a few
moments, I got really annoyed. My flight arrived at 3am and I was exhausted. However,
I was operating on US hospitality rules that dictate that you can do whatever
you want in the space you are ‘renting’ which includes sleeping past 8am if you
so choose. However, here I’m just throwing off the whole system. There are only
10 rooms in this small Niger hotel and there isn’t an endless staff to feed me
or clean up after me at whatever weird hour I decide to start my day. I am the weird one in this situation.
