Base Room

The view from my room. When I woke up the next morning to my dismay I was disgustingly sick. I think I got sick because one of the cons about hostels is that there is no central heating. Plus the Base hostel I was in used tt be an old mail distributing building. So alot of the windows are broken and are left open cause they do not close all the way. After you have a nice hot shower you are then immersed into cold everything. The sick here is a different strain of sick, a mutated sick. For me it started as a sore throat, then it became a head cold and then moved to my chest. And I was sick for almost two weeks.

My room for a week and a half, throughout that time I had loads of different roomates. My first set of roomates where a brother and sister duo. The sister was originally from Canada but moved to NZ, he brother now visitng her. They were cool and I had a couple drinks with them in the basement bar...actually called "the basement" (Party with the world < their slogon). They stayed two days and then I had a group of Brits on O.E (overseas experience) just on vaca until they had to go back to uni. They were fun stuff. Pretty much always getting ready to party, then partying all night. The second batch of party goers were a younger crowd and as well partied. They were fun, brought all their friends into the room. They then left and returned at 6am. Then one of the girl's threw up in the garbage can...noobs.

My Last roomate was the coolest. She was from Scotland and had been travelling for the past year. Travelling for a year is pretty epic. But it's cool meeting people in the hostel, they're all doing the same thing that I am...just craving a new wolrd, new experiences, and partying with people from all over the globe. Travel bug sickness.
