Day 74

Woke up and packed. Left without saying goodbye to my roommates. Didn't like any of them anyway. Don't think waking them up to say "go fuck yourself" would have been very polite. Had 3 hours from checkout till my bus arrived so thought i kill it in the Internet cafe. Very rarely do i get Internet at the same time my friends are online. Luckily i got to talk to Athena and Alice. Got to hear about how hard uni is and how much work they have to do. Always cheers me up. Miss them a lot. Also nice to hear Athena is no longer vegetarian. Will have to bring back some Kangaroo fillets and crocodile steaks.

Caught my coach to Surfers Paradise. Only took 30 minutes. Arrived and realised Ive been here before when my dad was over. We had stopped off  on our way to Noosa. It is a really shitty area. Just ugly skyscrapers and an overpowering smell of urine. Its too commercialized. It has no character. Although i might just be comparing it to Byron Bay. I have missed fast food chains and name brand shops. Headed straight to Hungry Jacks after i dropped my bags at the hostel. None of my new roommates were in so no need to stick around. Walked around town. The main shopping area has every shop you can think of. Everything but a good bookshop (although none of the locals look like they read) i really wanted a new book. Walked past about 15 nightclubs in 15 minutes. Cant wait not to go to any of them. Not gonna bother pretending anymore. I hate nightclubs. One club had a sign outside saying "any person with visible tattoos not covered up will not gain entry" or something like that. I think that pretty ridiculous. Id understand offensives tattoos. Like a Nazi flag on the forehead, or a bunch of white people beating up a black kid on your arm. Just seems a bit strange. You can hardly see anything in a night club anyway.

Headed back to my Hostel. I have 2 Asian girls in my room and one Italian guy. The Italian guy is alright. The problem with Asian tourists is they stick together. Not a bad thing for them but they don't socialise with anyone else. Its a bit annoying. Most travellers want to meet new people. Even i want to meet new people sometimes, and I'm very anti social. Anyway I've got 3 days here so better make the most of it. Don't even know what my next stop is...
