Working In Melbourne

Monday 24th April

Usual day at work, started the Telstra Induction Course.

In the evening went to the gym, unfortunately the Jacuzzi closed for maintenance, hopefully not for to long!

Txt from James (backpacker from weekend) to say they were definitely going out and if I wanted to join them. Wandered along to the Backpacker hostel 8.30pm. 6 of us went out – 2 German girls. The other lads were called Tom and Matt, real youngsters! Tom was only 19..really impressed that they were off travelling on their own.

James had a pack of playing cards of different bars to visit Melbourne ($10). The bars in Melbourne are not easy to find and if it was the UK you would never enter them, they are all up back alleys and shady looking doorways that lead either up or downstairs. I can only remember the name of a few of them, La La Land, Mur Mur, The Golden Monkey and a Russian bar, one drink in each. Just after midnight I told them it was my birthday and they all sang Happy Birthday to me. At 3.30am we were hungry and ended up in MacDonald – And how bizarre is this bumped into a lad from work!! I ended up going to bed about 4am after opening my Birthday present from mum and dad and my cards. Thank you x
