Sydney

The new girl in the bed above me is named Anita. She plans to go surfing at Manly beach and I plan to tag along and check out Manly as she takes her lesson. We take the ferry and she goes surfing at 10:00 in the morning. I check out the town and then pass out on the beach for an hour or so. We decide to take the scenic walk past homes that must cost millions. We head back at the end of the day to dinner with the Koran and the Italian. The previous night we had all planned to make a dish from our home countries. Anita and I are way too tired so we tell the boys we'll do ours tomorrow if they feed us tonight. We sit around and eat spicy Korean food, and pasta. Quite the combo. We meet two Irish girls sitting next to us, and Korea decides to bust out the number one do-not-say-it swear word in front of them because he's a bit confused when we ask what number one is. Hint: the answer was supposed to be pee. I later tell him that I'm proud of him anyway. I've grown really fond of him. He has taught me that language barriers aren't always a bad thing, and that if you have a big enough personality, language is completely secondary. We all love him for it in fact, and have even discussed it among ourselves.

The following night Anita and I cook for the boys downstairs in the hostel kitchen as promised. I make burgers and she makes a Brazilian dessert since she is originally from Brazil. Her dessert goes horribly wrong, so we just scoop it out of the bowl in which it has exploded and love it for the huge goopy mess that it is. We all sit around laughing and consuming my surprisingly amazing burgers. Needless to say, I got a ton of help with the preparation of them since I have no culinary knowledge whatsoever. We have a great time, and then head next door for drinks at the scary canary. Tonight is limbo night.
I join in the limbo game along with the rest of my roommates and the line slowly dwindles, but I stay in. The tiny girl in line goes, and she falls. I think I can win this. In the end it's me and Federico left. We feel like we've already won the $20 of free drinks since we're in the same party, but we compete for it anyway. Federico goes, and he falls so it's all on me as the entire bar watches. I remove my shoes and prepare to limbo. I slowly make my way under the bar, and I make it. I'VE WON!! The entire bar goes crazy and Federico lifts me up above the crowd as they all cheer. I claim my $20 of free drinks, and then it's drinks all around. We dance the rest of the night away until we can't dance anymore. I'm soaked in sweat. Both mine and other peopoles. It's an awesome night. It's also my last in Sydney.
