Hello!
So yesterday was crazy, but fun. Jacob and I had to work until noon. We got home around 12:30, had lunch, I wrote some postcards, and as the day progressed, more and more people began to arrive. Our hostel is full now, and there is a “no vacancy” sign out front.
We have two guys from France who cooked us all French pancakes last night, and they play music in the living room.
There are two new guys from Germany who found an enormous poker set at “Pack n’ Save”, and decided they needed some entertainment--so we now have night time poker games. (However I am struggling w/ the rules).
Now, my room is FULL. We have the two girls from Germany, and one new girl from Belgium. In the hostel there is also a guy from Brazil, and also two new girls from Korea. The girls from Korea are very unfriendly so far, and the two girls in room from Germany came out of the room for the FIRST time last night to watch the rugby. Those four people are unfriendly, everyone else is great and we hang out and cook every night. Our hostel is full at 26 people.
Some people are leaving because work is still not here at the moment, and others are going to stay longer and wait it out. The problem is if you leave you give up your spot on the list, but on the other hand if you stay you waste 2-4 weeks of traveling. It is a hard decision to make. I am SO lucky I got work within 3 days. Wow!
Anyway, France won last night. The two guys from France were FIRED UP! It was pretty hilarious. Then we played poker, and finally I had to go to bed, because I had been awake since before 7 in the morning.
This morning I went to the markets with the poker guys from Germany, and the guys from Brazil & Argentina. I bought apples and GREAT bread!
Tonight we are all headed to a free public viewing of the semi final rugby game, ALL BLACKS vs Australia. I guess I have to be for the All Blacks of course!
Then off to work again tomorrow....
