Australia

Best 4 days ever. Australia was a totally last minute decision but I am so glad I got the chance to go there. I took a plane early from Bangkok to Melbourne Australia. I arrived at around 9pm local time. Luckily I had a friend in town named Slav so he picked me up and drove me to my host family's house. My host family was a couple named Amber and Aaron. Anyway, they were allowing me to stay in their home for free for a few days. Unfortunately their hot water heater broke right before I arrived so I actually ended staying with a friend of Slav's named Katie who was good enough to allow me to sleep on her couch and use her hot water. Katie had a roommate named Nikki who was from Brooklyn.
On my first night there Slav, a few of his friends, and I went to a few clubs which were very dressy and had very overpriced drinks. We also went to an English pub which was much more my style. Over the next few days Slav showed me Melbourne. We went shopping, to the theater, and to the tallest building in Australia called the Eureka Tower. Amber took me to the beach in St Kilda on a perfect sunny day and all the cute Australian boys were out in their ridiculous shorty shorts.
The city has the feel of Seattle. There are a lot of older brick building with trees lining the streets and the ocean nearby. Normally I don't like cities at all, they are busy and crowded and people overlook each other. But this city was very relaxed and kind. People were always good to me. I really hope to go back sometime soon.
I am now back in Bangkok and itching to get back to the USA. I feel like my time here has been well spent and Ive enjoyed it. But there is nothing like home. I cannot wait for my bed, my shower, and my truck that I'll drive to get a huge Dusty's burger and a Costco pizza. Can't wait!
