New Roommates!

At the hostel I am staying at in Auckland I currently reside in an eight bed dorm room. Picture a tiny room with four double bunks packed into it. A four foot walk way down the centre and a little corner with a mini fridge. Good times. Last night seven beds cleared (I am unsure if this was coincidence or a bi-product of my coughing) and I got to meet my new roommates today. The interesting and significant part of this is that all of them are from Canada. Since leaving Canada I have met maybe three or four fellow Canadians in several weeks. As you can imagine suddenly having seven fellow Canadians move in was kind of cool. One of them is even from Victoria. I know this is pretty cheap thrills but it's all I've got right now being sick. I did go out for a bit tonight. I went down to the globe bar for some free pizza which is always good. Met up with my friend Casey who is back in town for a few days and after leaving the bar went and grabbed a Kebab from "Istanbul Kebab" on Queen Street.  After our Kebabs we went back to the hostel where I have been working on Amazon stuff for an hour or two now and Casey headed back down to the bar with Mike "The King" Ansley to party it up for a few hours. I on the other opted to just keep working away on my Amazon stuff and now here I am at one AM putting up a filler post to pad my blog and keep people happy =)

Here is a picture of some Polynesian Fire Dancers taken off the balcony of my hotel room in Fiji...

FIRE!
