DH and I are on holiday on.a group tour round China. We appear to be sharing the hotel with a couple of school groups...

For the past hour we have had to listen to them shrieking, running up and down, ringing doorbells and generally being a PITA. It appears they have put the pupils on one floor and the teachers on another...

I've been out to ask (they are clearly British and Irish) to no avail. Hotel reception speak little English and are unable to do anything. What now? There must be 30 of them out there, the hotel has plenty of communal areas away from rooms.

Feel like I could cry, am 15 weeks pg so even more in need of sleep. For added context, DH is a teacher and has taken groups abroad and agrees it is ridiculous to have no staff member around.

I have found that my teacher's voice can cross the language barrier! Especially in foreign theme parks!

Teacher voice works on me. Whenever I go into my DCs school I end up quaking in my boots Grin

Photos, if they start again go out with your camera and start taking photos.

They will 'report' you to the teacher and you can tell them you were photographing the bad behavior for your claim against the school.

If they don't then go to reception with the pics - they can't pretend not to understand when you have photos.

Teacher voice? I rarely need more than teacher stare! That one has no trouble with a language barrier! Glad your problems have sorted themselves.
