We were both excited at a new adventure another country any the fact that life wasn't going to be soo rushed any more. To celebrate this we headed straight for the local backpackers bar (under our hostel) after having a quick roo burger on the roof of our hostel. Being very excited and in high spirits we went out in combats, trainers, no make up (which to be honest is the norm for me) and a vest top (even though it was cold). We met a ganster rapper Mike, who was covered in gold chains, he could pick us both up [View Full Entry]

After a tearful goodbye on Emily's part and a very very sad goodbye for Vicky we set of on our long adventure, with hopes of excitement and fun for the next four months. We shopped then headed straight for the bar to celebrate. The flight was interesting, there was a black guy next who us who let out a little chuckle every so often which we eventually found out was because he was watching Norbit.
