22nd september 2007 melbourne

So dropped the camper off today, located the hostel that we wanted and they had rooms. paul asked if they had discount for YHA membership and they don't. but would give him discount for being irish. so i put on a irish accent but filled out the form as british, but she still gave me discount, only $2 but all count.

hostel isn't too bad. as nice as the rest seem to be in australia. So by the time we had settled in and stuff, we went for breakfast at blackjacks, not bad, but they wouldn't let me swap mushrooms for beans, which i thuoght was a little unfair, so i paid for beans, told them not to give me mushrooms, but did anyway. oh well not bad.

next we decided just to check out the town centre, didn't do much just walked round the city. its seems ok, like most big citys really. so didn't see much really. just got a feel for the city and where we was.

For the evening, paul had arranged to meet a friends of his he meet in darwin that lives in melbourne. so we meet up with her, julin, she is ozzie, but her parents are from malaysia. She brought a few people along, ross, amy, amy friend tim also joined us, and another girl joined us int he end, but i have no idea what her name was she wasn't every friendly from what i knew.

So went we for dinner at shanghai dumplings. which was under a $10 for everyone, we all got a main meal and also got about 32 dumpkings. so that is a good price.

so we went out for a few drinks, went to some shity bars and then ended up in a club called retro, which guess what plays retro music so all music from the 80's, it was ok, i prefer a bit of dance music, but as always i did dance.
