around the hostel...

I just thought i'd write a quick note to say what we do around here. and, it will be quick because we do so little! There isn't a whole lot to do, because we're on the otherside of the bridge from the main part of town. not that it matters. we're all pretty pooped after a hard day of work and 98% of the people have toget up between 5 and 7, so we all crash fairly early.
Our adorable roommate Ryo and French Alex brought the whole palce to life and obessed with the swining balls of fire/dancing. Ryo pretty much created a business out of creating the rope with tennis balls on the end for everyone to practice. He and a few others who had a good hang of it taught so many people how to do it. I barely tried once, and sucked so i gave up. Then Alex (who's REALLY good at it, and had the actual ones you light on fire) did it with fire one night. Ryo missed it as was really sad, so he created new ones with half tennis balls with flash lights to give the same effect as fire when they are in motion. Alex then did it again and let Ryo use the fire ones too. he was so excited and giggled the whole time he danced. it was awesome to watch!!!
other than that we play a lot of uno, other card games and read a lot. and eat a TON of chocolate. and sit around and chat. and complain about citrus picking and the hours each day we have to wait. and talk about our home countries and how they differ from everyone elses. it's pretty great.
all this is captured 'on film' and can be seen in my bundaburg album on photobucket.
i must get to bed. i had to sleep in the TV room for half the night because our new roommate snored like nothing have ever heard before. it woke me in the night when i had my ipod on and everything. he sweetly apologzied today for keeping us all alwake and changed rooms. thank heavens!!! so off to bed for me...
love!! more soon. xox
