Closing Down Australia

My last full day in Australia. Hard to believe that it is all nearly over. Again, I didn’t do that much with the day. After breakfast and fighting with the free and consistently broken wireless internet at the City Backpackers I marched down to Fortitude Valley to find some decent souvenirs. I had no such luck. I did, however, find a nice, non-English speaking barber shop and got myself a $9 haircut, which despite our language barriers, actually turned out as I desired. I think the words “trim up” are surprisingly universal. On the walk back to downtown I did find a place to blow my remaining Australian currency on some trinkets and reminders of my time in OZ.

The rest of the day was completely uneventful, with the exception of India beating Australia in cricket. I’m really excited for baseball season to start.

What I Learned Today: I always seem to meet a good group of people on my last day in a place.
