Hi ALL!!! Australia is AWESOME. I've been everywhere, but due to the fact that I currently am at an internet cafe, only have 10 minutes left ... and am not on my computer. Cannot post pictures.
However, I will tell a story about the kindness of strangers.
So, I've been traveling by myself for the past few days, and because I take overnight trains, I don't have a shower. Yesterday, I hadn't showered in ... it must have been the 3rd day without a shower. I needed one BADLY. Finally, I go to an aquatic center and I ask to pay to enter the pool (3 bucks) after saying I needed to shower BADLY. The young lady took pity on me and said "I won't charge you, just run through! Go! Go!"
It really wouldn't have hurt me to pay the three bucks, but when I was in SO much stress from not showering, it really made me happy. Its the simple things in life.
Wish me luck staying in a hostel tomorrow!
Will update more when I finally get some down time.
