My second hostel experience was not great, first off it was full of English and a few Irish scattered among them- Most of them had been living in this hostel for months - i had a look in the kitchen as you have to put your name on your food and your check in date- some went miles back, So they were all kinda like family. I just got a bad vibe as i was an outsider.I did meet a couple of sound people in my dorm but like they say there are always exceptions to the rule!!
I don't know why people would stay in a hostel so long for- what a waste of a trip but anyways who am i too judge.(hhhhloserhhhhhh)
I did go to an computer game convention, was good bant , played many old school games Lemmings,Tetris,Pong,Space Invaders,Street Fighter,Golden-eye,Mario Kart.. the list goes on- It did tho reminded me of my youthful days playing Video Games - Boy was i good way back in my prime - Season 1999 if i had to put a year on it - ahh year those were the days - I would like to think i was good some people would say i was great, but i don't want to blow my own trumpet. I must say, I still have it , as they say class is permanent.
In a whole i did not do much of Australia , but too be honest i felt like it was my dress rehearsal for when i go back to Ireland - so that took me awhile to get over-
I was really surprised by the amount of Asian's over here i reckon it must be around 30/40percent as a result there are about 10billion takeaways restaurant - They are not as friendly as true Asian's which i found quiet strange , anyways my final thoughts - i never made it too Ayers Rock too expensive , maybe next time!!
Conclusion 6/10
