Surviving in Europe without a money
Showers are for drug addicts and alcholocics only?Showers are for drug addicts and alcholocics only?
There are two additional addresses where to go to have a shower. One is in the city center, just 5 minutes from St. Augusto where I have gor my dinner, near the metro Jaume 1 at Sant Honorat 4. Its open from 9AM to 1PM working days and besides showers have Internet, coffee and some food. When I first got there afternoon, the clock was over 1PM but there where very nice persons working and they gave me also another address
at Riereta 24 (parallel to Rambla del Raval) where I could take the shower afternoon 4PM to 7PM. So I went there where the rooms where full of alcoholics.
Also met one punk from UK who was too desperate to get a shower.
Not much staff there, there was one door showing hygienica and another door opened to services had a line behind the door. So I stayed in line and was surprised that the person inside was always inviting somebody else inside instead of me.
So finally when I had a possibility to ask about the shower she said "no". Why? She said we are private foundation we have right to choose our customers.
So I went back next morning to get shower from Sant Honorat. But this time they where not so nice and told that showers are for drug users only. So I could become a drug user if you insist so to get a shower finally!!!
This is ridiculous that you are denying basic hygienic rights from me and wanted that they call the police as I do not have any phone anymore. So maybe in prison I could get a shower or maybe Police will send me to doctors that they will prescribe me a shower. They didnŽt call the Police but some their own security guys just throw me out from there.
Being so humiliated I waited to next morning as as it was raining in night, didnt had much sleep so was 7.30 AM Fontfonrada 8 near by Parallelo and took the number to have the shower at 9.30 AM. Compared to Meridiana, they at least had hot water there but you really need to be early to get your morning shower.
If I would have been drug user or alcoholic, I could have my shower in much better environment.
