I arrive into Melbourne where I am meeting my aunt and 3 cousins at 'Nomads All Nations Backpackers'. It is 2 in the morning and I am wandering the streets wondering if I'm lost. Then I hear it before I see it. Blaring music in the distance. Can this be where my family are staying? Answer: yes.
All 5 of us booked into the room with a random Welsh guy put in with us. I can't imagine what it must have felt for this poor white Welsh dude to be stuck in a room with a family of five and not only that but a CHINESE FAMILY of 5!! Ai yaaaa!!
Our time is spent doing the usual tourist stuff: eating, riding the free trams, visiting the aquarium, visiting St. Kilda's beaches.
It's a very laid back and beautiful city.
One danger about sharing hostels with random people is you never know who you are going to share a room with. About 3am I feel a presence around me and look up and see a shadow of a man hovering over me! I freak out screaming. My aunt leaps out of her bunk without her glasses, stumbles to the light switch, finally finds the light switch, throws on the lights, ready for some serious (blind) high kick action and it's the stoned Welsh dude trying to get into bed with me! Why me?!?! Ai yaaaa!!
