Roughing it in Australia- travel log from the shitty city of sydney

Can you claim to be poor if you haven't slept in an Internet Café?

You had enough money to use an internet cafe?

Luxury!

I've never stayed at a hostel & don't feel like I missed out on anything.

I've only really stayed in hostels (or the odd apartment) when travelling and I don't mind them. You get what you pay for and if you look online you can find one that's right for you. Some'll be big on organising big group nights out, which is what some people (Australians) want, others'll be more laidback and, in a few small towns, there are some outstanding hostels.

I remember I stayed in one in Morocco in a famous pot growing hilltop town. I ended up having a beautiful, well looked after room to myself and the hostel itself was nice to come back to, there was a really nice cool courtyard which, given that it was August, was perfect.

Sometimes you'll meet fun people who you can go out, see the sights and enjoy the town with but I think that's luck of the draw more than anything. But even then you don't have to. I don't really like doing things with people during the day, I don't like having to stick with a timetable when I'm going to a beach or to a museum or whatever. But it's normally really nice to meet people to go drinking and eating in the evening.

It is day 4. .........

Hey Mr. McBigot, relax you might enjoy yourself.

Aboriginal to wield as tribal talismans. I took my flight.

My spirit faltered, and I reluctantly aquiesced to stay there. I should have ran.

Because bigots and racist like you are really cowards at heart.

My brother caught scabies staying at one of those.

Spent three months backpacking and staying at Hostels in Australia, had great experiences at 90% of the hostels, made friends with people that still keep in touch with almost 15 years later.

You're dick wasn't cut off a single time?

[Eddie Teach]

Twice, I heard.

[Admiral Yi]

Twice might still be worth it.

They stole both his kidneys.  He thought it was just a bad mattress bothering his back.

And yes, kat can run without kidneys.  The man works off biodiesel.

I've had good hostels and bad hostels.
As I've gotten old I've come to appreciate spending 10 quid more for a bit of privacy.

I'm confused as to why Lettow is in Australia.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm confused as to why Lettow is in Australia.

Because he's nuttier than squirrel shit.

And of course he's going to complain about his situation;  he's probably doing it with about $30 in his pocket.  Of course the life of the wandering homeless sucks.

[Caliga]

So Lettuce, how is this preparing you for your future career?
