It's been awhile since I have updated because internet minutes in Melbourne is worth as much as gold. Aha, I found free internet in libraries...better yet, the big one in the city where there are tons of terminals so that's where I am at the moment.

update in short form because I have to meet my gay German friend-

• Reiki was nice but I ruined the high vibration with massive partying for 2 nights with German people from Shepparton. They were nice peeps and they left Melbourne on Saturday morning.

• First night of partying with them was on my birthday.

• I went out for Indian food with a Japanese girl called Miki whom I have met the day before. She seems very nice and into health/organic/yoga/country side type. Too bad she had to leave in only a couple of days.

• My first batch of roommates gave me chocolate eggs for my birthday and I had barely even seen them.

• Didn't expect to be with anyone so more than what I have wanted.

• My milk and salad dressing got stolen at the hostel.
  

• Some new Irish roommates came. One of them was having sex for 2 nights in a row in the room...I think with 2 different guys. I wasn't thrilled to be woken up at around 6am to her moaning (shivers).

• Meg (Jap) decided to come to Melbourne overnight. I felt very stressed and drained around her. I didn't want to listen to her petty dramas from Shepparton anymore. She didn't book a room as well. I left her with the other Shepparton people at some lame bar and I went to bed myself. I couldn't party anymore. She slept in the morning on the couch at my hostel. I wasted my weekend for sightseeing because she was around.

• I have moved to a suburb called Prahan/Chapel Street. It's kinda trendy up market with lots of restaurants, pubs, shops and second hand stores. The hostel is small and an old victorian building. I paid a bit more for a balcony. Yes, I'm a posh backpacker.
  

• I got a job at a telemarketing company. I hadn't even called anyone and it fell through, but it was a big relief off my shoulder. At least they paid me for training.

• I had an interview at a club/bar for cloakroom or bussing. We'll see how that goes.

• I went to another suburb called Fritzroy. It's arty and bohemian with alot of live music at night, kinda like Commercial Drive. I found a hippy hostel which I might move into next week.

• I stumbled across a yoga mediation place that doesn't charge people an arm and a leg in Fritzroy. I waited for the $5 donation class in the evening, and turns out people live and help out there. Everything was given out of generosity and cultivation. We did yoga and chi kung, followed by a free vegetarian meal,then did half hour of chanting with instruments, and finished with a chai. I'm going to their retreat ($10 donation!) this Saturday out in the country. Why not?
  

• I have to go meet my gay friend (Dan) who just left Shepparton today to go skydiving for his birthday. I can't wait to hear all the gossips he has to tell me. I think I'll try to find a proper club this time instead of those backpacker shnit.
