A couple of days ago, I was in my "Prison Break" inspired guesthouse when it dawned on me that I was in dire need of a change. This was the reason why I moved to the Green House.
When I checked in, I realised that this place was slightly more expensive than the previous one. As such, I was convinced that my room would be cleaner - but it wasn't. I was also convinced that it would be less noisier - but it wasn't. It did, however, have something, which made it completely worthwhile - a window.
It was only after having lived in a room without a view that I understood why it is so much more pleasant to live in a room with one. And I can tell you that it surely is great to know if it is daytime or nighttime without having to look at the watch; it is fantastic to be able to air out the room without having to repeatedly open and close the door; and it is inspiring to have a peak outside every now and then and realise just how much life there is around.
There are two other things, which I really enjoy about this guesthouse. I enjoy the fact that there is a restaurant and a bar downstairs, which makes it very inviting and social. I also enjoy the fact that there are trees all around. And I am convinced that being surrounded by the colour green has allowed me recover some of the hope I had lost...
