Kicking off the rating system

So Adrian and I have decided to start rating places where we've slept and major places where we've ate. We've excluded some cafes and such because it would mean constantly updating the blog.

The way we will rate hostels, hotels and such will be a star system with five being the best and zero being the lowest. Hotels and hostels will be rated based on cleanliness, location, staff and organization, vibe (stop snickering) and overall value. You might say, well how can you possibly compare the super upscale Hyatt to a hostel. Trust me you can because when it comes down to it I got amazing service and a wonderful room at a hostel that in my opinion is a better value then spending $300 USD at the Hyatt.

The eateries will be similary rated for staff-service, cleanliness, vibe, overall value and quality of food.

Adrian and I will each comment - albeit briefly - on each place within on post. If you don't see Adrian's comments right away its because he's out running while I am sitting in this Internet cafe getting fatter.

If you have any interest in exploring the greater of depths of deliciousness, while gaining blubber on an exponential scale, in a state of both bliss and wonder known only to the heavens, than i can recommend only one type of food in South America (specifically Uruguay) --- its name? Chivito. if you are feeling extremely bold and have lost all self respect then tackle the ever famous Dulce De Leche as a supplement. If you do decide to engage these items i must warn you of two potential hazards: one, people will undoubtedly congratulate you on your pregnancy, prodding into what term your in, etc. or two, people will offer you jobs as the "before picture model" in various dieting advertisements...
