well i realized being a travel writer won’t work out for me, since it leaves little time to do stuff and see things that I want to. plus, I don’t like writing

Walking back to the hostel from dinner one night, my group got caught in a sudden massive downpour. It got so bad (and people in their cars were laughing at us) that we climbed onto a window-sill (tiny shelf of shelter) in that crooked little alleyway for a bit.
The cruise wasn’t that amazing: two-level boat (Captian Cook Cruises), a few circuits of Sydney Harbour (not to say that Sydney by night isn’t beautiful, but I’ve seen it before, and we went past the same things again and again), pizza dinner.
BUT it was a NYSF reunion, and the DJ wasn’t too bad: he played the official NYSF song (aka Everybody Dance Now) which mean we got to do our mad routine, TWICE in the middle of the Harbour (slightly cooler than doing it in a Woolshed)
