    But when she got back to her hostel, she found that police officers were waiting for them.

    Sounds like the police knew damn well it was just a karen complaint.

    The local backpackers’ hostel (which requires passports) is the right place to go chill if you want to catch up with some tourists.

    It’s probably not the right place to look for refugees sneaking over the border from Czechia.

        @orcrist all I know is, in that part of the world, hostels normally require guests to show passports.

        Not sure how an exemption for Germans would work/be enforced, to be honest. Easier to just ask everyone.

            Sure. I myself have used other forms of identification in hostels as well.

            I don’t understand where you are going with this, sorry. What is your main point about the police appearing in the hostel?

                @orcrist all due respect you sound a bit paranoid.

                I’m a New Zealander. Every time I have stayed in a Backpacker hostel in Germany or Austria they have asked to see my passport and made a note of its number. Sometimes in the past they “held” my other government-issued identification instead but always sighted the passport.

                If you don’t believe me, that’s fine.

                But I’m not interested in continuing this conversation. I find it deeply strange.
