im now at a new hostel using a germans computer, which is really difficult to navigate around on because everything is in german. anyways, this new hostel is a lot more janky then the other one, this is a legit real hostel. again, i have three roommates, all are pretty cool guys, super funny and laid back. ive already spent the last couple days hanging out with these guys.two germans and an english guy. we went to some beaches and different local spots in sydney. they are all here on a working visa, so they just find jobs for a couple months, save up, then travel until they run out of money again. they´ve given me great insight into the best way to travel. more so, i learned that the larger hostels run more like hotels, where you just keep to yourself. the hostels with not a lot to them have a more friendship atmosphere. although, i did walk around with an asian guy named herman the other day, who i met in the larger hostel. he was my first friend, we often spent our time together in silience since he didnt speak much english.
im going to spend the next two days at this hostel then move on. im looking at hitchiking with some friends to another city...friends i´ve actually never met. literally thats the way it works, you find people going in the same direction as you and you travel together. ive had opportunities to go with people from the hostel im staying at currently but dont have the time to be gone as long as they are planning. the randomness of traveling is what makes this trip exciting, just connecting with so many people.
they have a bunch of 7-11 here. mcdonalds is the only place that offers free wifi. its insanely expensive here, but their minnimum wage is like 20 dollars. my roommate is working retail and is making like 21 dollars an hour. there are no locals in downtown sydney, its very diverse and touristy. i wasnt expecting that at all. and a lot of asians are here, i guess its because they travel here to learn english and its way closer then the states. just some random things ive noticed while being here.
i keep calling football soccer, dont call football soccer even though it is soccer. another american thing im getting use to. they hate when i say soccer, like hate it.
I love how your networking and meeting people.. Super cool post.
