NYT Asks, "Is Algebra Necessary?"Submitted by Peace Gold Love on Tue, 07/31/2012 - 09:15
The dumbing down of America continues? Or a good argument?
[NYT] - A TYPICAL American school day finds some six million high school students and two million college freshmen struggling with algebra. In both high school and college, all too many students are expected to fail. Why do we subject American students to this ordeal? I've found myself moving toward the strong view that we shouldn't.
My question extends beyond algebra and applies more broadly to the usual mathematics sequence, from geometry through calculus. State regents and legislators — and much of the public — take it as self-evident that every young person should be made to master polynomial functions and parametric equations.
There are many defenses of algebra and the virtue of learning it. Most of them sound reasonable on first hearing; many of them I once accepted. But the more I examine them, the clearer it seems that they are largely or wholly wrong — unsupported by research or evidence, or based on wishful logic. (I'm not talking about quantitative skills, critical for informed citizenship and personal finance, but a very different ballgame.)
This debate matters. Making mathematics mandatory prevents us from discovering and developing young talent. In the interest of maintaining rigor, we're actually depleting our pool of brainpower. I say this as a writer and social scientist whose work relies heavily on the use of numbers. My aim is not to spare students from a difficult subject, but to call attention to the real problems we are causing by misdirecting precious resources.

Creating Jobs
Practical instruction on how to create and run a business is very much lacking in the public school system. I'm on a council that recently met with our local school superintendent and he was speaking from the perspective that after graduation, most of the students will move away to where the jobs are. I was infuriated that he would accept this fate rather than equip our students to create jobs for themselves and for others right here.
But I guess jobs are created by government, anyway, right? Nobody needs businessmen.
Let's just use Roman numerals instead
We can carve them out of stone!
Algebra, and for some even higher mathematics, provides a useful framework for critical thinking. However, the current school curriculum (say for a homeschooler to get an accredited highschool diploma) requires three years of high school mathematics starting at algebra. And this is kind of a joke. What you get are students who waste a lot of time and don't learn a lot of anything.
A big part of the underlying problem is that people need some framework of motivation in order to learn things. The number one factor in increasing student learning (for children) is parental involvement. If you teach children to love to learn, then a large percentage of them will end up wanting to learn (and learning) algebra. And probably a lot of them will learn it earlier, i.e., at a younger age. But classroom instruction kills the love of learning for most people. So we take a bunch of kids who have been taught to not learn and who hate learning, and then we start a clock at 9th grade, and say, "Now you need to learn up through pre-calculus." What could go wrong?
And incidentally, the terminal point of pre-calculus, is pretty funny all by itself.
As a second aside, I'm pretty sure that all my kids will know calculus well before they reach 18, and I mean really know it---much better than the students I teach. And I'm not really teaching them. Leonhard Euler said that his best learning experience was when he had access to Johann Bernoulli on Sunday afternoons. Euler would try to figure things out that he was interested in, and then he would ask Bernoulli questions. (And if you didn't know, Euler turned out OK...at least in a mathematical sense. If only we could get the intellectual class to really and honestly question the society we have which is based on violence and coercion. But unfortunately, that violence and coercion is the means by which they feed themselves.)
Leave all the thinking to the
Leave all the thinking to the Alphas. You Epsilons just take your pills and do your tasks.
Epsilons? Knowledge indeed puffeth up
That's just wrong Cast.It.Into.Th..., You are essentially saying that only people who have a good working knowledge of algebra are doing any of the "thinking?" I think your statement actually gets at the heart of the issue by means of a corroded artery.
So, everyone who has chosen to fulfill a role in life that helps all of you Alphas be able to do what you do, should just be drugged and resign themselves to the "fact" that all they are good for is "menial labor"?
I would venture to say that some of the world's finest artist, most well known authors, perhaps even world-renowned music(which is math related) composers just may have not been great or even good at algebra. It would be interesting to find out.
It makes me wonder just how many of you advanced, math whizzes excel at the above?
Everyone is different. To me one of the major problems with government schooling IS the ONE size fits all -it doesn't.
Let the free market, like CSA1891 suggested decide who the Alphas are in what fields and let everyone's strengths be improved upon. We need to ask God to help us find the old paths in learning.
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. Ps 120:7
Better to be divided by truth than united in error.
The local church(not a building -a people) is the missing link. The time to build is now.
The Alphas, not we Alphas.
I was being facetious, of course.
The article was questioning whether or not over 50 million children in the public school system should be taught algebra. In my mind, that is a path that serves to further subjugate the non-elite. Why learn the history of governments and wars or any critical thinking skills when the elite will feed you after they skim the cream off the top?
I would that the DOE's public 'school' system not teach children anything, but here we are.
Also, if you haven't, I would recommend reading Brave New World when you have extra time.
I'm so embarrassed I should probably delete my comment.
I don't know how your facetiousness escaped me. I guess I got too fired up in seeing all the commenters whose pov is that EVERYone(collectivism) should learn algebra that I got carried away. My reaction lends credence to their argument. : - (
Thank u for the book recommendation.

Typical that this comes from
Typical that this comes from a POLITICAL scientist. Keep the people stupid, cause a dumb population is easier to control.
Granted, most of us won't ever use most of the stuff we learn from mathematics. But the point is that you learn to THINK abstractly. It's not just about our performance in daily life, but also about how you see the world and the relationships within it. Such an altered worldview has an effect on you and its effects are more difficult to assess and measure.
If you take an extreme example and follow this kind of logic to its ultimate conclusion, all other subjects have aspects we rarely use. According to this guy, we should ditch those aspects and just focus on practical skills we will actually use in our daily lives. In essence, it would almost be a throwback to earlier times where we needed to apprentice ourselves to a master, so we could learn THAT job alone. Sure, we might be more efficient and knowledgeable where our jobs are concerned, but we would be cripples in anything else. Imagine a conversation between such a cripple and someone who had a normal education. The cripple would soon be avoided, cause the only thing he would be able to talk about would be his job. He would be a moron where everything else is concerned.
And the effect of these seemingly useless and idle conversations are not to be underestimated. Society has been able to advance itself through communication. And these seemingly idle conversations have more of an impact than you would think. For example, it's often been said that business people need to read the newspaper each day. Not just in order to gain an expanded world view, but in order to strike up a conversation with a potential future business partner. It allows such a person to have a foot in the door so to speak through idle conversation and allows people to assess each other.
Now certainly, where mathematics is concerned, it's difficult to bring this subject up in a conversation. But mathematics is one of the keystones of science. Not teaching it in class will certainly result in a higher divide in the people where science is concerned, where more people just don't understand science. I'm not in a scientific field, but learning mathematics has given me a greater appreciation for science. People like me are more likely to donate to science projects, so even if I'm not in that field, I'll have an effect on scientific progress in the world. And science is the keystone to a country's future. And the world already has a shortage of these kind of specialists, this will certainly make it worse.
If only...
If only we had to worry about you "donating to science projects" we would be in much better shape. The underlying problem in education, however, is coercion.
Until you question the underlying structure of classroom learning and the indoctrination of schooling in general, you will not have started in a better societal direction. The key aspect of this indoctrination is that scientific progress and instruction (increased understanding if you like) is to be embraced uncritically.
This must be questioned. Look where it has led us.
We need a fundamental criterion according to which we evaluate these questions, and Wendell Berry has suggested one: Health and Community. He points out that only one segment of our society evaluates the adoption of technology on the basis of its (desired positive) effect on their community. That segment of society is the Amish.
I think Berry is on to something.
Farmer, I say u are 2nd best commenter of the day...
...on the "Is Algebra Necessary" topic, right behind CSA1861.
Keep up the good work, especially if you really are farming.
I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. Ps 120:7
Better to be divided by truth than united in error.
The local church(not a building -a people) is the missing link. The time to build is now.
Knowledge ALWAYS needs to be
Knowledge ALWAYS needs to be questioned, that is something we can certainly agree on. And especially government funded education needs to be critically looked at, not just for the quality, but for its brainwashing aspect. I mean, teachers teaching that the US is not a republic, must be one of the greatest lies ever perpetuated.
But the solution is not dumbing down education, which this article basically boils down to. It's more and BETTER education. Because the ultimate society can only be achieved through an INFORMED people.
Regarding the place of technology in society, such logic and considerations are only useful in a closed and static society. We have outside factors to consider. If there were no outside factors to consider, then it would make sense to look at technology from a societal aspect. Having no science in your life could then even be considered beneficial, since it makes life simpler and thus more chance of a social life, avoiding the evils that science brings. But we have diseases to consider. Heck, even potential meteorites capable of wiping us out. The Amish won't be able to help us with that (except pray of course).

From Risk-Free Return To Return-Free Risk OvernightSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 15:34 -0400
Central Banks' extreme interventionist policies (whether direct money-printing or indirect subordination of existing risk-takers) has left an investing public with a very different risk-reward environment (and very different forecast distributions for future outcomes) as we pointed out earlier. As Matt King of Citigroup notes, the 'risk-on risk-off' environment is here to stay meaning the traditional safety of bonds now offers even less upside and more downside (thanks to subordination) and equities or higher-beta more upside (thanks to central banker puts under asset markets). This helps explain the portfolio-rebalancing effect of QE et al. However, this leads to a focus on high-beta momentum with a growing chasm between price and value - and more likelihood of catastrophic loss when risk-goes-off (as liquidity spigots are closed however temporarily). Efficient frontiers are now not so efficient with marginal returns now perceived as accelerating for incremental risk-taking as the Fed has your back. This means market-cap weighted indices will naturally favor the highest-beta (much more volatile) names that will suffer the most when risk re-appears - so focus on equal-weighted or fundamental-weighted indices for risk-balanced-return. Trying to be long the tails is key as central bankers repress normal investors away from core safety leaving behind the precipice of over-invested, over-risk-stuffed momentum chasers holding the bag.

Guest Post: America: The ListSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 12:49 -0400
Let's get it all out there. America's dirty laundry that is. Our family secrets. The skeletons in the closet. The goal is to create a list of the many and numerous ways in which our country is deluding itself into believing we are the greatest, smartest, most innovative, freedom loving country that ever was. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some unpatriotic ne'er do well. I love what the Founding Fathers of our country set out to accomplish, faults and all. I love it so much, I was willing to put my life on the line for this country by serving in a US Marine Corps special forces unit for 8 years (your move armchair patriot). But we have drifted so far from the original concepts, I believe our current central planning apparatus more closely resembles the USSR than what most people think is the USA. So I'm going to kick this list off but in no way do I intend this to be exhaustive.

There's No Painless Way OutSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 15:02 -0400
Uncle Sam's bills of almost $4tn per year relative to his income of just over $2tn means that he does what most American's do - he borrows money - and it is this simple fact that underpins the reasoning that there is no painless way out of the mountain of debt that we have amassed over the last few decades. While none of this is new, the straightforward nature of this video's message makes it hard to argue, from anything other than an ivory tower, that this supposed self-sustaining print-and/or-borrow-fest can go on forever. Paying off your mortgage with your credit card remains the clearest analogy of what is occurring and while the Mutually Assured Destruction case is made again and again for why the analogous credit-card-providers will never halt our limit, it seems increasingly clear that the fiat money fiasco has switched regimes to chaos rather than the apparent nominal calmness of the great moderation.

"The Boredom Discount": Why Greater Risk Does Not Lead To Greater ReturnSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 14:25 -0400
Confused by stock bubbles and furious episodes of manic market euphoria? SocGen's Dylan Grice explains it in one brief sentence: "we're hardwired to overvalue excitement and undervalue boredom."

More Echoes From 2011 As European Stocks Signal Trouble AheadSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 13:31 -0400
As the mainstream media gets over-run with 'buy-the-dippers' and 'healthy retracement' protagonists with the S&P down a monstrous 1.5% from its highs, it is perhaps worth noting (h/t Doug Kass) that Europe's broad equity market index is now down over 5% from it's peak two weeks ago (as is the UK's FTSE index). In yet another echo of last year's liquidity-fueled spurt-and-slump, European equity markets (along with US and European credit markets as we have already noted) are sending a warning signal that trouble may lay immediately ahead for US equities. The Euro-Stoxx index has just crossed below its 100DMA for the first time in over 4 months having dropped over 4% on the last two days. Add to this size of margin debt (as we noted earlier) and the ultra-low levels of cash at equity mutual funds and what is now the largest drop since the rally began (an incredible fact that we have hardly dropped more than 2% peak to trough in five months in Cembalest's sweet serenity) may well mean more pain is to come.

Syntagma Square Suicide Note Ends With Call To Young Greek People To "Hang The Traitors"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 12:07 -0400
Earlier today, we remarked on the story of a 77-year old Greek, now identified as Dimitris Christoulas, who at around 9 am took his life in the middle of Athens' central Syntagma Square with a bullet to his head. His full suicide note has been released. The note, presented below, ends in a solemn call to arms to "hang the traitors of this country."

Jon Hilsenrath Is Wrong: Why Operation Twist Will Not Be ExtendedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 11:20 -0400
Yesterday, Goldman's Jan Hatzius, piggybacking on what has now become a prevalent belief among Wall Street economists following a "leak" from the WSJ's Jon Hilsenrath, predicted that the FOMC minutes would hint at more easing, in the form of "sterilized" interventions, or in other words, an extension of Operation Twist. There is, however, one problem with this analysis. It is total BS, for a simple reason that for every bond on the long end that the Fed buys (and it has bought a whopping 91% of the 20-30 year gross Treasury issuance), it has to sell one in the 3 Month - 3 Year maturity interval. And therein lies the rub. As Bank of America shows below, at the end of Twist in June there will be just 2 months worth of Treasurys available for sale. What could fix this? Well, instead of ZIRP until 2014, Bernanke could say the Fed would keep rates at zero until 2016 or even 2018, and proceed to sell all Fed holdings in the 3 month - 5 year or 3 month - 7 year intervals. This however, would make the entire bond curve an epic farce, shifting the belly to beyond the 10 year point, and in the process blowing up the MBS market due to total collapse of traditional convexity heding strategies. Which we don't think is likely unless the world is coming to an end. In other words, anyone hoping that Twist will be extended, is wrong, and in turn it means that any real option for the Fed's NEW QE will be the outright monetization (aka LSAP) of either USTs or MBS, ala QE1 and QE2.

High Yield Credit Fundamentals Starting To CrackSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 11:06 -0400
We have been warning of the uncomfortable current similarities to last year's (and for that matter cycle after cycle) high-yield credit underperformance / lagging behavior 'canary-in-the-coalmine' relative to the exuberant equity market for a month now. Now, Bank of America provides - in two succinct charts - the fundamental underpinning of this grave concern as across the high-yield credit universe revenues are not catching up with costs - creating significant margin pressures - and at the end of the day, a market that cares more for cash flow sustainability than the latest headline or quarter EPS upgrade from some sell-side pen-pusher is waving a red-flag as margins are the lowest they have been since March 2009 and is falling at a much faster clip than in the fall of 2008 as the reality of money-printing comes home to roost. And just to add salt to this fundamental wound, technicals are starting to hurt as supply picks up and 'opportunistic' issuance turns notably heavy - perhaps helping to explain how the ongoing inflows have been unable to push prices further up in the US. Lastly European high yield is trading tick-for-tick with sovereign risk still - as it has since the middle of last year and so as LTRO-funded carry fades, we would expect it to underperform - especially as austerity slows growth.

A Thought Experiment: Why Not Just Print, Print, Print And Then Print Some More?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 10:45 -0400
In the past we have jokingly discussed the creation of a Death Star as the way the world can save itself by printing an almost infinite amount of money to support growth. As almost everyone, especially the MMT crowd it seems, can plainly see, if printing some money is good (well it must be, markets are up) then printing more money must be better, right? Well, no (as we discussed in detail here). There are unintended consequences and as we pointed out recently, we are already seeing less and less effervescence in the real economy from QE's impact and the spectre of the inflationary pressures that implicitly limit the 'benefit' of this action is nowhere more painful than in energy prices (and in fact the price of anything in relative limited supply as opposed to cash which is printed daily). Professor Antony Davies, of Duquesne, takes this subtle concept to task in this exceptionally straightforward 206-second video on money as an IOU and its solution to the caveman's ills providing the background for why money's inherent value is relinquished once it becomes printed en masse. Printing more money doesn't make more goods and services appear, simply spreads the value of the existing goods and services among a larger number of dollars - this is inflation. Our wealth comes not from money but from the goods and services that money buys. Q.E.D.

NYSE Margin Debt At Highest Since July Means Threat Of Margin Calls HighSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 10:39 -0400
As so often happens, every time there is a ramp in the stock market, especially one which is not accompanied by retail buying, those who are buying, are forced to do so on increasingly more margin, as there is only so much cash in the market without booking actual profits. Sure enough, as of the end of February, margin debt was $289 billion, the highest since July 2011, while Net Free Credit (Free Credit Cash plus Credit balances in margin accounts less Margin Debt) of negative $33 billion (meaning investors have negative net worth) was the lowest also since July. What does this mean? Simply said, that if the cross asset rout continues, which means bonds yesterday, and stocks and commodities today, the margin calls will once again resume, as they used to in the fall of 2011, leading to a toxic liquidation spiral, pushing prices even lower. So in keeping with the times, and sticking heads in the sand, watch out for that 3pm call from your repo desk. Best idea would be to just let it go through to voicemail.

Reversals In ProgressSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 10:27 -0400
Today's Spanish auction results were, in a word, awful. Not just higher yields, but a terrible bid-to-cover and perhaps even worse; all of the funding could not be accomplished. The effects of the LTRO are rapidly diminishing as the money has now generally been utilized and the national banks of a nation can no longer support the funding needs of the countries in the periphery. We have reached the turn here and I predict much higher yields to come now for the troubled nations in Europe including Italy. What could be accomplished by liquidity has been accomplished but solvency problems cannot be cured by liquidity alone and that lesson is about to be re-learned again.

Services ISM Misses Expectations For First Time In 4 Months, First Drop Since SeptemberSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 10:14 -0400
Unlike yesterday's modest manufacturing ISM beat, today's follow up March Services ISM is out at 56.0, reverting back to the Schrodinger theme so prevalent these days, missing the consensus of 56.8, and down from 57.3 in February, posting the first sequential decline since September 2011, and the first miss to expectations in 4 months. The core New Orders indicator was down from 61.2 to 58.8, still above 50 for 32 consecutive months. The backlog of new orders also dropped from 54.5 to 52.5 Amusingly, despite every energy commodity surging, the Prices index in March somehow posted a miraculous drop from 68.4 to 33.9. The only series that was contracting, and unchanged at 49.5, was supplier deliveries, even as inventories increased once again, from 53.4 to 54.0. And if the ADP report was enough to give traders a headache whether or not more QE is coming, today's final economic data point, refutes the latest jobs strength ahead of the NFP, once again leaving everyone into the dark as to the Chairman's true intentions.

Hope Fades As London 'Superstar' FX Trader Is ArrestedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 09:02 -0400
How the self-described 'mighty' have fallen. It was a month ago when we first heard of this mysterious British FX trader who dropped $300k in a Liverpudlian nightclub on a bottle of champagne that weighed more than the models he was 'dating' that night. The 'talented, charismatic, and likable' Alex Hope has been arrested by London's Financials Services Authority (FSA) in connection with an investigation into a suspected unauthorized FX trading scheme. As City A.M reports this morning, Hope's publicist confirms he is the 23 year old in question - though he 'obviously' denies all allegations. The schadenfreude on London's FX 'trading' desks (as opposed to bucket-shop retail-mauling FX 'brokerage' shops) is palpable from what we hear as 'it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy' echoes off the City's pub ceilings. As yet no charges have been filed - we await with baited breath for the sad truth to be outed.

Bank of America On Why, Contrary To Popular Delusion, America Is Not DecouplingSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/04/2012 09:43 -0400
Everyone's favorite stock pitchman, Bob Pisani, who lately apparently has the capacity to learn just one line and just regurgitate it ad nauseam, was on CNBC earlier screaming how gold is down because the US is so much better than the world, when in reality gold is once again being sold to fund early margin calls (yes, institutionals are that levered right now). As for the US decoupling story, which time after time is dragged out, only to be shelved once the impact of trillions in liquidity fades, and which is never different this time, here is none other than Bank of America explaining to the likes of Pisani why "the US economy is likely to prove a faulty engine of global growth." Read - no decoupling, despite what the market may be trying to say. And yes, the market, and especially the Russell 2000 is never the economy.

Has that warm old wooden bar feeling to it. Sometimes you get a younger crowd because of the university close by. There are darts and a shuffleboard table in the back. Full u-shaped bar along with a dining area and more bar tables in the back by the darts/shuffleboard. The tanks where they brew are all on display to see which is always cool. They usually have about 8 of their own beers on tap and another 6 guest taps, which vary. The bottle selection is pretty solid about 40 or so, everything from Treogs, to Stone, to Belgians, and Sierra Nevada. The food is great here, at least the 2 sandwiches i got the 2 times i've been here. The turkey jalepano melt and the portabello mushroom sandwich are great. I've gotten the same bartender both times i've been here and he is always quick with beer and knows his beer. Overall a solid place to get a decent beer in an area that doesn't have much to offer as far as bar beers.

I definitely think this place needs significant improvement.
I went here for a long time and lost respect for them bc of the freshness of beers i.e. ipa and stagnant selection.
After going there last night and it was more of the same. I asked to see a bottle of Stone Ruination to check the date. He had no clue as to why I would do that, he was kinda put off by it. The date was best by 10/27/13, which means it was put in the bottle in July. I told the bartender that its not fresh anymore and I don't want it. He was upset. I think this is because his craft beer knowledge is minimal. Then I asked if the Stone IRS was from this year and he had no clue. He gave it to me and sarcastically asked if this was ok. I was like yeah, and then thought ok I'm done with this place and I'm never going back unless the rest of the people I'm with insist on it, and even then I would try to deter them from going there.
In conclusion, I am not going back there ever.

Vibe: The front of this place is set up like a bar with pub-style seating and a bunch of TVs; the back room is quite large and quieter and is more like a sit-down restaurant. They have chalkboards posted in multiple locations that list the beers currently available on-tap from the brewery. It's located a block away from the NJ Transit train station.
Quality: Beers were served at the proper temperature in a variety of glassware. I was impressed to receive their dubbel served in a Westmalle chalice.
Service: Service was relatively quick, and the waiter demonstrated some knowledge about charestics of the beers currently available on-tap.
Food: The restaurant offers a large menu with lots of selection. I chose their short ribs of beef special for a dinner entree and it was an absolutely huge portion size. The food was good, and served as a nice accompaniment to the beer.
Selection: A total of seven beers were available on-tap when I went, including 1920s Lager, Abbey Normal, Bulldog Blonde, FX Stout, IPA, MyGarden Wit, and Pirate Pale Ale.

The home beers were worth the trip but nothing to go way out of your way for, I cant say much about them that has not already being posted and reviewed. The highlight here at the Gaslight is the guest taps almost any day of the week. The line up some good regional beers as well as national craft beers.
Great atmosphere around the bar and plenty of tvs for watching the game. Football day every game is on and it a good place for that and some cold drafts. Service was okay but could be more attentive.
They do fill growlers and this is my biggest bone to pick with them. They do not fill growlers that were not purchased from them. The ones they offer are the cheap clear glass screw tops.
Food, we stuck with appetizers and pub fare which was perfect for late lunch.

If someone asked you to run like a girl, what would it look like?
A new ad from Always aims to empower women and strike down the stereotype that being 'like a girl' is a bad thing.
The brand is working to redefine the phrase 'like a girl' to mean something strong, victorious, and powerful.
On their website they said, "Using #LikeAGirl as an insult is a hard knock against any adolescent girl. And since the rest of puberty's really no picnic either, it's easy to see what a huge impact it can have on a girl's self-confidence. We're kicking off an epic battle to make sure that girls everywhere keep their confidence throughout puberty and beyond, and making a start by showing them that doing it #LikeAGirl is an awesome thing."

The hostel is located very close to Old city and is 20 min by foot from PKP that is very good advantage. The workers are little bit disorganized but it's not five star hotel, so it's understandable. Room was clean and light. Toilets and shower also were clean. It reminds some family house and gives very cozy and warm feeling. The breakfast was also very good. In general overall impression is quite pleasant for so cheap price in the center it's worth of staying there.

Unfortunately the staff don't speak English well, so they we weren't really able to communicate. There is a strange man who doesn't work there but seems to have responsibilities when staff aren't around, which is often, and he isn't exactly a desirable person to leave your valuables with. The washing machine was broken. The people in the other rooms were noisy until around 1am. The showers and toilets were dirty. However, the rooms were clean and bright.
