Fun Fact: KFarm and I aren't as socially awkward as previously assumed!
We switched hostels yesterday to one across town called Backpackers HQ. It's rather nice to be on the other side of Sydney with a totally different feel and more fun things to explore :)
Our previous hostel had a kind of clubish feel to it, every time I got on the elevator I felt like I was waiting for strobe lights to come on. This one, however, is quite lovely. Its tucked away on a street lined by cute little boutique shops and cafes, gracefully shaded by trees that remind me of a hybrid mix between and maple and sycamore tree.
Our room is a tiny thing with 10 beds on the third floor (ha!). We met three swedish fellows (Linus, Gustav and Marcus) and the coolest Irish girl (Rachel) straight off the bat. We ended up eating pizza and drinking "goon" (Australia's version of Franzia) with Rachel trading phrases and awesome music. Swear to god it felt like I was REALLY back at Murray State. I keep waiting for my suite mate to come over.
I am so incredibly pleased with our ability to befriend strangers right now! Apparently we're hilarious Americans.
We had breakfast in the courtyard this morning Linus and have successfully achieved "Lets Do Nothing Today" status. Mumford Jam session with New Zealand planning (YAY free WiFI!!!) here I come :)
