  • It's got to be a small country...

    ... since I keep running into people I've met before. And I haven't really met that many people. You can tell us backpackers pretty much travel in the same basic circuit - our timing is just a bit different. People I met back in Auckland are making their way into Wellington. If I stay here long enough, the people that I came to Wellington with and who went on to the South Island will be back here again on their way back to Auckland. Though honestly, I'm hoping to be out of the hostels and into something a bit more private before they'd pass through here again.

    I really don't care for the hostel I'm in at the moment (it's the Base Wellington, if anyone wants to know), so I'm super excited to move tomorrow. It's into another hostel, but it's supposed to be a nice one (the Wellington YHA, again if anyone cares). If nothing else, it'll be a four bed room, instead of the six bed room I'm in now.

    I so want to be in a room by myself again. With it's own bathroom. Oh, and an actual tub. Or heck, just a bathroom I don't feel like I have to wear my flip-flops while showering in. I know it could be worse, but man, I miss my privacy.

    On a completely unrelated note, I saw "Run, Fatboy, Run" last night. It was funny enough that I won't bitch too much about the ridiculous amount the ticket price ($14.80 -- and I thought San Francisco prices were bad...). Utterly implausible, but funny all the same. I think I just might have to consider myself a fan of Dylan Moran now.

  • Its nice that you are meeting lots of people even if they are not new friends. Hope you get a nice hostel soon

  • Isn't it funny how a four bed room suddenly becomes a luxury. Can't wait for more deets!

  • Maybe hostels have changed, but in my experience the owners cram as many people as they can into however many number of rooms they have. As far as privacy and a tub (!) you might want to start looking at Choice Hotels

    I haven't been to the movies since Spider-Man 2, wholly because of the cost and the behavior of other people.
