Day 6

Day 6

Hello everyone,

This entry is a day late, but we were pretty busy and so getting our pictures up were the priority (internet costs money at our hostel --- today we're going to go to the library an see if they offer free internet). I hope you've seen the pictures we have uploaded to the blog page (link on my profile) because we haven't put any on Facebook just yet.

So yesterday was our first full day of living at the hotel "Chill Backpackers". We chose a fairly bad time to move out of Jill's house, because it's the long Easter weekend and Anzac day (Australia and New Zealand's Remembrance Day) and thus everything is closed!! We ended up spending A LOT on food when we could have gone to the grocery store and made food ourselves. We found a 7-Eleven though and managed to pick up mini peanut butter, mini jam, a half a loaf of bread, milk (which they label "low fat, original etc" instead of "1%, 2% Homo, Skim") and some fruit.

Our first encounter with another backpackers was with the guy in our room, John - from France-, and he is quite friendly when we bump into him. It's a little awkward sharing a room with a guy because when you're changing you're on high alert listening for the door lock incase you need to cover your crap ASAP. Same thing with the co-ed bathrooms! I go in there to brush my teeth and no man will pee in the stall unless I'm running water lmao. It's like "c-mon now, I'm not an alien. I am aware that men have to pee and it won't scar me. So just go already!" The manager said he'd be moving us into a girl's only room of 3 today so that should be alright.

The hostel is really really nice here. It has a movie theatre with leather couches -- we watched Star Ship Troopers last night :D -- and a tv room, a pool table, a big kitchen, 3 decks that have excellent views of the city, and an internet cafe. Everything is blue themed, Kayla would appreciate it :P

Another down side to it being a holiday is we have had to wait to job search. They have a job club here at the hostel and we've made up some resumes on my computer ( i mate them very funky with my graphic programs XD) so hopefully come Tuesday we can get working before my precious monies run out.

P.S the other night when we had a celebratory dinner down town, the very cute waiter asked me 'where is your accent from?' and I was like YAY I HAVE AN ACCENT NOW! hehe. btw I had steak, veggies and mashed potatoes. Effing delicious, stupid expensive :P

Love you guys! Miss you :)
