Staying in Kingscross

I was wrong, I guess I am still a bit jet lagged but I mostly go to bed earlier than I would.

I walked around in Kings Cross and I did find cheaper food. Most restaurants are really trendy and modern looking, even the Asian ones. Other ones must have some kind of atmosphere in order to compete. I ended up getting a haircut at a Korean salon since I missed my hair appointment in Vancouver due to the power outage resulting in sleeping in. The guy who cut my hair was on a working holiday from Korea. His English was really limited and I'm not sure what to think my haircut. It's a bit choppy and blunt. The salon is on the red light district street, and I wandered around briefly for food in the evening as well.

The washroom in the hostel I'm staying at is quite clean as it seems to be newly renovated. There's a rooftop patio where I did some reading and got some sun in the late afternoon. I didn't talk to anyone then because everyone had an ipod going. In my room, there is a girl from Vancouver. She has invited me for a drink up on the patio in the evening. The people in the hostel are quite nice and seem to be like a big family, because some of them have stayed for a long time. It was quite windy, and I was told that the weather is very unpredictable. Luckily, it's been nice enough since I got here. I called it an early night and went to bed before everyone else.

Now I went into the city to get travellers info. I realize it's like an American city with big malls, and I thought that I should get out more other things like nature. It's really not so exotic here.

I also need to decide if I should move to a cheaper hostel or stay in a 10 person room. It's pricy for what it is but at least the bathrooms and rooms are clean. There's another one down the block which I'm interested in but I saw the washroom today and now I'm not so sure now. I'll deal with all these later...

I got up and I left on my own again. I'm hoping to hit to zoo today. Koala bears!!
