hey guys ! no pics for the first day but im sure you can manage.
got in alright and grabbed a taxi. arrived at the backpackers and had to wait for the owner to arrive, nearly an hour later. Met a few people whist waiting though.
when the owner finally arived i was told that there was no booking for me but there was going to be a room vacant shortly. so they held my stuff and i went for a trek.
i decided to go to the train station to see what i can do about a ticket for the week. $38 later. i had to look for an atm so walked through the plaza and an old man busking stopped me. this guy couldnt move or talk properly. he asked me if i wanted to hear a poem. i say yes but i cant hear a word he was saying. people probably thought i was an idiot listening to this guy but i didnt care. so i gave him $2 and told him it was a grat poem as i walked off.
when i got to the city was like i hadnt left. i just felt a lonley and lost because i was by myself. i was fairly tired by this stage so i took a quick browse and a walk up to the harbourside.
the backpackers hadnt called me yet to say the room was readyso i headed back in a hope to get a nap.
they temp put me in a room for the night but still a private room. met some more people. they seem pretty friendly. theres a big party tonight so i may be getting pretty waseted !! haha
after my nap i met some more people here while still half asleep. after a nice cup of coffee i went back through the plaza looking for some where to eat. i stopped at a place called 2230. something said to me to buy some food and beer here. i did and i thinks it safe to say i wont be paying $9 for 4 meatballs that where average again. one of staff asked me if i was going to be playing and the club across the road. i said no and asked who was. i ended up having a little convo with her, explained my position and she told me about the guy that organises gigs for there. the same guy the book gigs there also booked gigs for metros aswell. i was ovbiously intesedted and she said to talk to one of the girls over there. i finished my second beer, walked over and started chatting with me chicks at the door.
i was there for a while and the gig organiser came up and i shook his hand and he gave me his email. i was like score, first day and already my first break !
got back to the hostel and met a few more. i was shouted beers and they decied that they wanted to go out. we went out had a good time came back to the hostel and drunk some more beers. it was such a good night last night. up till 6 in the morn still drinking beer.

Don't worry about the money Rich, if you have proven anything to me its that your a people person and that surviving is part of the enjoyment factor for you.
Glad to hear your having fun and staying safe. time is short mate, so treat every second your there as something special. communicating and making connections with people is important. be yourself.
Killer to hear that your already shaking hands and slotting into the music scene. now you have to back it up with busting your gut in your course later this year!
Don't feel like your lonely or lost, your a phone call or a blog post away from contact :) + ur still in Oz, aint like your on the other side of the globe yet hehe. embrace everything you encounter mate, and keep posting regularly ! your first effort is tops!
chow champ.
