It was Caroline's last weekend in Australia, I had meet her way back in the beginning when I was doing the pub quiz on one of my first nights in Melbourne. It seems like such a long time ago now, its one of the problems of living in a hostel is that most the friends you make tend to move somewhere else pretty quickly.

As is traditional here and in England we all went out for a drink. Me and Gena headed out early to get some food first, one of the main problems that me and Gena have is that neither of us has any sense of direction what so ever, we have even managed not to find entire suburbs before. For us both to always pick the wrong direction their must be some part of our brains that knows the correct one and then deliberately changes it. Otherwise we would sometimes pick the correct route.

When we eventually found the pub, we received a message saying that there was a change of plan and they where now in a different one. The night was fun, there is a worrying trend that all of my female friends seem to very quickly prefer Gena company to mine, its very interesting watching her talk to other women, she acts like they are best friends already. To me it kind of looks like shes flirting with them. Seems to work really well. I was tempted to try the same strategy for talking to other men, but I'm not sure its a good idea, and I definitely won't be using it on Martin just in case.

I was worried the night would pass without a bloggortunity (its my word I can change the spelling if I want) but luckily a crazy American guy attached himself to the group and started ranting away. He asked me how comes I was the only guy with five women, then explained in great detail how had had failed to pick up women even when he had cash and was in town where prostitution was legal.

Firstly he had some how missed that that one of my male friends was standing just a foot ... sorry half a meter ... must remember we are metric here or so away from me. I let this pass and explained that his first rule of thumb should be to start conversations with people and not talk about how even prostitutes rejected him. He did talk some more, I'm sure he did, but I didn't make any notes at the time so I can't be accurate about what else he said.
