Woohoo! My first week! 11 months, and 3 weeks to go! (and 23p in which to do it!)

Woohoo! Ive just about made it through my first week. AND i havent spent ALL my money yet (although im giving it a good go! :P).

I spent a few days in Hong Kong, which were pretty cool, although bloody expensive! Went up to the peak on the tram, and had a pint and some food looking over the harbour while i ate my lunch. Then watched the lights come on on the waterfront, had a few beers (Few being the operative word, because they were like A$10 each) because my hostel in HKG was stupidly cheap. It was also stupidly small, with a bed that was only marginally more uncomfortable than the floor...You could swing a cat in there, but you'd really have to want to hurt the thing! :P

Then I went to the markets in Stanley, chilled out a bit. Got a fridge sticker that said 'You are my love. My Angle. Why you treat me like potato?'. Then went back to the airport to catch the plane. It was completely full, so i had to wait. Then at 11.10pm, (the gates closed at 11.30) they said i could catch the plane. So i had to bloody leg it across the whole of HKG airport. NOT fun...

Then got on the flight. Thought id be sensible here, and i decided to spend the entire flight watching movies, and refusing to sleep...God knows what i looked like walking through the Aussie customs. They let me straight in though! (Bwahahaha Fools!)

Then the past week Ive been chilling out in beaches, Chilling out in the parks. I took a walk around the art museum. And also, in the name of science. Tried the cheap wine here (its all so expensive. Everythings like $35-40 dollars. Its ridiculous! Im almost considering going againt every grain of my english heratage and stopping drinking! :p). Its called goon. Its $10 for 4 litres. and its certainly an experience...It doesnt taste bad. Its just the next day you end up feeling like you're wearing your body inside out, whilst an evil goon pixie-goblin p***es on you from a great hight. It almost puts you off the stuff, until you realise that its the only stuff you can afford! :) AND that all the other stuff is bloody fosters! :P

The hostel im staying in is bloody amazing. The people ive met are amazing, its in a really central spot (40mins walk to the city, and its right in Sydneys version of Camden). Its definately worth it. Ive just moved into a 6 person dorm, because it was $150 a week, as opposed to $450. And everyone here is pretty sound...So ill see how that goes. Lol, my next post'll probably be a 20min long rant! :P

Apart from that the only other thing ive done is thrown caution to the wind yesterday, and took $50 down a casino with a group of people from the hostel..I was going to go to bed, but I thought 'hell. Why not?' It was pretty good. I won $50 on a jackpot on one of the machines. But spent it all again a bit later. Im not that fussed about ever doing it again, but well. Youve gotta try these things at least once!

Other than that, ive got bored of waiting to hear from Autoglass, so ive applied for a few call centre type jobs which are close by, and pay well. Failing that, theres a warehouse job that i could go for, OR some sort of charity thing up on the job-board here.

Ive decided against buying a car straight off, and have decided to work and save the money for a car instead...Pictures'll be coming up soon, as SOON as I work out how the bloody hell to get them on here.

Oh I almost forgot. I FOUND ROO-MEAT! Im not entirely sure how im supposed to cook it. But ive got Roo Meat! Woohoo. Perhaps ill have it with my cheesy pasta / beans on toast. :P
