Well here i am, in a bar, where i can access internet - the bars pretty dead, a few other internet users, a scattering of gentle drinkers, and socials out in the beer garden - this place usually has a band, most nights it does - last night there was a real big uproar - loads of ppl and a fierce band. Its a nice place, two stores away from the hostel - convenient - but also has $6 jugs of beer on tuesdays - and free bbq - which is basically bread sausage and roasted onions - but still take every free meal that you can - ahhh the romantic life of the backpacker...
Well I've been working today, kinda enjoying work tho, bit of fun, talking to ppl all the time and such, and the girl i was working with was fun - she from america. I've worked out I shud be getting at least a grand for my work, but more will be added for the commission. So I had a lonmg today - i was saupposed to start at 12.30 finish 8.30, but i had it muddled up in me head and turned up two hours earlier, altho when I was notified i got to go sit down and watch the races - well the horses trot around the large stadium, which I think is an aussie rules stadium when not being used by the easter show, and the jockeys are all small, petite blonde girls who enjoy whatever the competition is, which baffles me completely - some girl gets a prize for trotting elegantly. Whilst I relax with intellectual papers - the sydney morning herald - the only one I get a kick out of (its the closest to the sunday times). Then for the first time I went to check out the rides - they look fun!
aNYWAY - my point for writing - an undecided view on the future needs a resolution. I was generally quite decided on once getting pay head for thailand, or at least after a week after pay. The other option lingering is once paid, have fun, then go fruit picking for few weeks then go thailand, which might be a smarter option considering thailiands current political climate. But I was generally settled for the first, australia seems to be pissing me off atmo, and although the country would be more than refreshing - i dont no how much i'd get out of it - plus nothings like the english countryside. But then i saw an ad today for the sydney writers festival - looks intriguing and interesting - but its not till may 18th - and im not sure the wait will be worthwhile. Hmmm - so time to think i need and plan my route and then to act, but nothing until I get paid. I need to leave the bars clos9ng and there asking me to leave. Its only 12.30 - this would never hap[pen in london!xxx
