The Aussie Diaries: Arrival in the Center

---

Alice Springs is all right. It has everything I like, including Internet cafes, movies, and even McDonald's. So far the hostel isn't that great. The people here don't seem like my kind of people. They are all older for the most part, and seem to all be doing their own thing. So I guess this is my chance to establish a routine in a totally different environment. One that comes complete with bush flies, hot midday sun, cold night, and a desert oasis kind of environment. I don't think I am going to get the communal feeling of Katherine or the laid back feeling of Tropical Darwin. I'll probably have to wait for my upcoming outback tour if I hope to have any fun memories to look back on here. Hope the tour has some cool people.



Note: The Aussie Diaries are a XX part series. The entries come directly unabridged from the journal I carried around with me on my first post-university adventure to the southern hemisphere. They are a bit on the rough side.
