Or if there is, it is evident less in its observance and more in its breach.  Some albergues will have their own guidelines and practices, and there is a range of helpful advice here about nitty-gritty stuff. [USER=4307]@peregrino_tom[/USER] and [USER=80985]@André Walker[/USER] get my nod for contributions that address the principles we might adopt when thinking about this. Having some underlying view about how we treat others, even when we are not treated how we would like to be, seems more important to me than remembering dozens of little does and don'ts. [USER=96712]@JustJack[/USER], it's great that you are prepared to ask the question. Don't be surprized, though,  if some practices differ wildly from what might be seen as good behaviour. That said, you always have control over how you behave, and respond.</blockquote>
