Got to Melbourne on Monday night the 29th. Checked into the hostel, then met up with ange and brett.
Was great to see them. They're already getting job interviews and offers, so that gives me a little hope..
On Tuesday they went into the city central with me to apply for my tax file number and open an Aussie bank account. Feels good to get that out of the way.
Around dinner time, my buddy Carey called me up and told me Dan was on his way to pick me up. We all met up at the Brown Cow, had a beer, and caught up. After a beer, we all went to Careys for dinner. Really nice family.
Unfortunately I am getting kicked out of the hostel I'm staying in right now, because I only booked until Thursday but the hostel is full this weekend. Apparently all the hostels are because U2 is coming to town. Even more reason to hate that shitty band!!
I told my Aussie buds, and they told me not to stress it, stay with them for the weekend. Apparently they all live with their parents. They also said we would go down to Sorrento this weekend to see how I like it.
To tell you the truth I'm not that impressed with Melbourne. Granted I have only been here for 36 hours and haven't seen a whole lot, I feel I've seen enough. Typical big city, with really brown water at the beach. Huge tanker water vessels in the distance, and the beach surrounded by cement.
I asked myself the question yesterday, what are you looking for? The answer was easy. Crystal clear water, white sand beach, small pub on the water where I could work, and not a whole lot more. Since I'm not blown away here, I figure it's probably best to keep on moving until I find that spot.
Is that too much to ask for?
