The loudest snorer in the world!

If you tell me you've heard a worse snorer than the one in our room tonight, I will not believe you. I would not even think it is humanly possible to snore this loud if I hadn't heard it. Indeed I tried to snore as loud to wake him up and couldn't match him.

One of the downsides of living on the cheap in hostels is that you sometimes end up with a lot of roommates. Shawna and I thought we were pretty lucky when we got a room in Lausanne with only 3 beds in it, 2 of them assigned to us. The third bed was even empty the first night, but tonight a new guest sowed up at 2 am. By 3, we knew we weren't going to get much more sleep.

We've tried a number of things to wake this guy up (this may sound mean, but someone with this big of a snoring problem should not stay in hostels): clearing throats, walking around in flip flops, turning the hallway light on and off, playing every iPhone alarm ringtone on high volume, singing, clapping, even recording his snore and playing it back to him! Each attempt only results in waking him up for precisely 3 seconds before he falls asleep again and promptly returns to snoring. We've both got our headphones on now, let's see if we can drown out the noise.
