Monopoly
Last night was my last night at the Railway YHA with my new friends and I got to do something I have been hanging out to do for ages: Play Monopoly! I love Monopoly. I brings out the best and worst in people. It shows you how people think. How they reason. Something that can be difficult to discover when there is a language barrier. I met some more Canadians during the game which by the way, was very entertaining. For dinner we made Burritos and then had a few send off drinks down Sidebar. I woke up on the couch in front of an episode of Carnivale at 4am. It was a great end to an awesome 3 weeks at the Railway.
I’ll miss my new friends, but I am looking forward to getting know the new group of people I am staying with at Whynot Street in the West End of Brisbane. Tegan set us up the Shed, and everyone has been very welcoming. I have about two weeks here then head back to Sydney to head to Japan.
Press Start to Begin…
Well people, it has finally happened. At 12.45am this morning, Perth time I strode onto Virgin Blue flight DJ438 and started my adventure across the globe. What lies in store for me is not really planned. I am trying not to plan much at all. I have a basic itinerary of flights but they are subject to change. To put it simply I am winging it.
Right at this very moment I am sitting in the Railway YHA in Sydney, a backpackers I have enjoyed staying at a few times before. Much to my delight I found a picture I drew and stuffed into a glass topped table around July, 2008! While it seems much of the items that travellers feel compelled to leave under the tables have been removed, mine has been kept.
Is this a sign of how the rest of my adventure will go? I would hope so.
