Entry 1 of 6 | show all | print this entry

Good D'Mate as they say down under, Paul has arrived and already started tocause some problems!!  Well first off thanks to all the peeps who wrote back and supported me on this trip as I have already starting making list of things I want to do when I get back.  It is really amazing how when your with yourself you talk to everyone and while alone can really think and learn more about yourself than while around others. 
OK I will update you on what has gone one, lets start with FLIGHT DELAYS on each part and ended up 5 hours behind, no biggie since I had no plans on first day.  The flight actualyl when by fast tons of movies (High Five, as borat says...watch that twice and laughed the whole time and everyone just looked at me)  Now that I made it to the hostel I am thinking I am in the clear, well I walk in and there is NO key to my room, and he says I will try and get you a room key by the end of the night, now I am like  are you serious.  Well then I said enough of this I need a  VB(Victorian Bitter, horrible beer) and introduced myself to everyone: "HEY I AM PAUL FROM NEW YORK" thinking that they would laugh, everyonel ooked at me and was your point, well  I continue to talk, like true sales person until they started talking back to me, there were some that were not scared of me!!  After that I went out and had a bottle of wine with a new friend from Holland and had an amazing conversation about life and traveling lasting well into the hours of the night (Rishi you were right the first day I will have a conversation and I did) 
Today, which is Monday, I and my new friend took over Melbourne from the University to the Olympic Park to the Botanical Gardens, etc.....As for tonight probably cook some dinner, and then hang out with whoever.....
Tomorrow I shall rent a car and drive the "GREAT OCEAN ROAD", I know be safe I will
Thanks again and look forward to hearing how things are back home from all!!!
Cheers
Paul

Glad to hear you're having a "ripper" time Down Under! Enjoy reading about your excursions through the land and was quite 'stoked' to be included on your list of followers. Make sure you eat your "vedgies" and drink your "tinnys", just watch out for the "Booze Bus", cause if they make you "blow in the bag" you might end up in the dungeon! We wouldn't want to have to send your mate , Rishi out to... show all

....you can't really go anywhere without that.

Pookie,

I'm so glad you made it safely and that you're already branching out like everyone knew you would. A few of my close friends have studied abroad in both Melbourne and Sydney so if you need any info, let me know. I wish you to have an incredible time!! Be you. Live.

Thinking of you,
Vanessa

Eagles actually won yesterday!! I found myself cheering for the friggin giants since they were playing the cowboys - but they blew it in the end.

Won't say have fun because already know you are and will.

I am so happy to hear you made it there okay! I was worried about you. Do they have an Starbucks there that you can steal sweet & lows from? In your travels, if you see a Harley Davidison store, can you pick up 2 t-shirts for my Dad and Steve? My dad is a 2XL and Steve is a large. If you can pick them up, I will give you the cash for them. Don't go crazy looking for them, just if you happen ... show all
