Return of the mac

It was so nice to be in Melbourne again, by returning to somewhere familiar I've fooled my brain into not being home sick at all anymore. By some amazing coincidence as my bus arrived at the train station from the airport so did my friends Caroline's bus from the great ocean road tour. Then literally a couple of seconds after we bumped into each other my other friend Bret walked past. It was very odd my two best friends from Melbourne spontaneously appearing but that nice friendly welcoming odd. I took it as a sign that I had made the right decision. A few beverages where drunk, we caught up and Caroline invited me out to meet her friends from work and her softball team the next day.

After Caroline left me and Bret found some nice girls playing a very intricate drinking tapping game, where everyone placed there hands in the middle of the table and tapped out different things. It was really fun, and every round a new rule was added just to make sure everyone was drinking a healthy amount.

One of the girls tried to recruit me to collect money for charity on the street again. I explained to here in great detail why I would never do it again EVER! She really didn't want to take no for an answer claiming that I would be great at it, and they would pay me to train them up. I get the feeling there is some kind of pyramid charity worker collection thing running, that means they get some money for every dollar you raise if they recruit you, its the only reason I can think of to explain how zealous they are at recruiting.
