Hello All,
Well what can i say i was not liking if for about 2 days and then i met some people in the Hostel and have been out drinking and talking heaps and so now i love it here and i haven't even found work yet...I had a room mate Tameeka from Ballarat and she was a nice girl but really quiet (well she didn't party) and anyway she was good because she showed me where things were and told me stuff that i needed to know, like where the laundry was etc... Anyway she left and then i had a girl called Claire move in. Claire is Irish and man could she party!!! She got me so motivated to go out that everything i did in the last few days is now a blur.... She moved in Sunday night and stayed until Wednesday morning (I think, but am struggling to remember already) Anyway Monday night she and i went down to the bar just for a couple of drinks and ended up drinking heaps and then went to a bar across the road with some others. They all bought weed out the front and went and smoked it outside while those who were not smoking it(like me!!!) stayed inside and drank some more. So that i did and got really drunk and eventually got sleep when the room stopped spinning. Somehow i was not too bad the next day and so the next night i went out again. I ended up going out without Claire at first as she went to bed. There is a pub across the road called the Royal. On Tuesday nights they have "Twoonies" night. [In Canda a $1 coin is called a Loonie and a $2 coin is called a twoonie]. So off i go with a couple of aussie guys from the Hostel called, Ezra and Alin, to the Twoonies ($2 hi-balls) night and so we start drinking and of course i tried to keep up with the boys. There is only basic spirits available for the $2 offer so i had to drink G&T. We played pool as well. The pool balls over here are bigger than Australia so it is easier to control the ball. It looks like mini carpet bowls on a table... Anyway even though the ball is easier to control i still lost, but i did better than usual. So Claire rocks up later when i am already drunk and gets me drinking more andshe starts to play pool and man was she a pool shark. So eventually when we get to bed again i had to lay in bed and hold onto the ladder to stop the room spinning to get some sleep. Obviously i did bugger all the next day but drink water and eat Pizza and complain. I got as much sleep as i could as i went to the Brian Adams concert that night which was just brilliant.... He was backed up by Daniel Powter so i was happy. I was also glad to get some sleep that night. Thursday morning Claire left and the that night it was one of the girls 21st Birthday that is staying here. Oh i had also met another girl here called Ruth, she's an aussie, and so we got out and went for a walk on Thursday. We went down to Stanley Park and then the aquarium. The aquarium was ACE.... The Beluga's were the best!!!! They are so cute. So i got some photo's and stuff. So then Ruth and i go to the pub downstairs together for a few quiet ones (yeah right!!) and end up talking to so many people at the bar and we get talking to some guy called Sharndor from McCrae. So as it is this girl's 21st birthday we went with the crowd and got to drinking again and got not as drunk but drunk. Ruth was off her face and that Sharndor guy was weird and left to go and find some Cocaine. So eventually get to bed and did not suffer much of a hangover as i think i am getting used to it. The next day (Friday) i went for a walk to Granville Island with Ruth and we took some photo's of the beach and stuff. Friday night was the Nickleback concert, they were backed up by Live and Daniel Jenko. It absolutely rocked!!!! So that's what i have been doing since i got here. Ruth left Saturday morning so will be interesting to see who i meet next. So as for an opinion of Vancouver, people told me that it was pristine clean. Well i find that hard to believe. Maybe the richer area of Vancouver but not downtown. There is chewy all over the pavement and they spit heaps on the street. There are so many homeless people that it's not funny and they all have an animal with them. Usually a pet dog, though one had a pet rat. There is so much weed and crack cocaine around (Apparently!!!) that when you walk down the street you can smell weed in the air. I actually find it quite amusing.... Also on every block there is a .99c pizza shop so that's nice and cheap. The hostel is really comfortable. Everyone here is nice and although i don't know them that well i speak to them and say hi when i see them and stuff so i seem to find someone to talk to most of the time... I have not got a job yet but will throw myself into looking for a job next week. I have had a great week and now it's time to detox and get serious about looking for a job. So that's all for now...
Take Care all
