Yesterday, I checked into another hostel which is cheaper but also ghetto. It's really not that bad if you compare it to other places I've stayed at and at least there are no cockroaches. I'm there for a week, I check out next Tuesday (today is Wed). I've been looking for WWOOFing opportunities -- Willing Workers On Organic Farms, where you work with a host in exchange for food and shelter. It looks like I may be headed off to a place 2 hrs south if Sydney where I can learn organic gardening, rare animal tending, medieval crafts.
So I've been sitting in Hyde Park lately and just reading my WWOOF book to look for hosts. The weather has been nice for that. Many office workers go to the park to nap or eat during lunchtime. I saw a group of people playing touch rugby today.
Last night at the hostel kitchen, I met 2 Indian men. One was making utthapam, which is a type of pancake with coconut. I tried some and it was delicious! I eat my breakfast (PB & J all the way!) and dinner in the tv room. There's only American shows/movies on. We saw Scream and there was also Family guy and The Simpsons. I feel right at home but also makes me miss home.
Today, I hung out at the park again. Ok, that's about it for now. Kind of a slow day.

Those slow days will happen...they aren't much fun, nor easy to write about. I'm sure you'll find a 'woofing' place soon enough. I hope they are not all a couple of hours outside of each town (or from each other!) that would make for a lot of weekly travel.
Looking forward to these posts!

Organic gardening, rare animal tending, and medieval crafts? I want to go Wwoofing too! That sounds amazing and you’ll be eating good food there!
America misses you Nellie, I keep seeing all these Australian things around suddenly. It’s weird... maybe I just notice them more. But first that movie came out called Australia then there was this indie band from Australia with a koala bear hanging out on one guys shoulder in the paper. Then we had client come in and he started talking about going to the Australian Consulate on 42nd Street, for some party, (he was Australian too). EErie!
