First nominee is the room in pipa:
nominee 1
the water bottle is there as a reference to the distance between the bed in the middle (mine) and the top one. It's not possible to use the steps to reach this bed, so you have to climb your way into it, but because you don't have enough height to jump on the bed, your system (yes, you need a system) has to be a mix between climbing, crawling, and pulling yourself into it by grabbing the other end of the mattress. Once in bed, you constantly need to watch watch your head not to hit the framing of the top bed.
When nadia used the steps for the first time to get to the top bed, she said: "oh my god, it's not wood, it's plastic". Yes, the bed frame is made of the cheapest wood chippings pressed into some kind of material that can not be called wood anymore. When you step on it, the whole bunker bed shakes so hard that you think it's going to collapse. And it will, one day. Because it is so difficult to get in and out, you have to go to bed prepared, your book, your flashlight, your water.. and no peeing until the morning.
The only other furniture in the room is a useless shelf that's so slanted because it is so far off the wall (bad installation) that you can not place anything on it.
Second nominee is the room in olinda.
nominee 2
Another shaky, "plastic" bed. The ceiling, made of low quality bricks, is unplastered. Humidity has eaten into the bricks and they are "shedding" onto you. You wake up a touch redder than when you went to bed. Hygene has not stressed out any employee of the establishment including the cook, the mopper, the toilet cleaner, the waitress, the swimming pool cleaner. This place had the additional bonus of ceaser, the annoying next door neighbour and a lot of mosquitos.
Third nominee is a classic. The hotel room in santarem.

A dirty, depressing, decaying room with unmatching old sheets and for decoration: blood stains on the walls of mosquitoes killed before.
