Just arrived and I'm pretty stoked to be in a downtown area as opposed to where I was in Scottsdale, seemingly eons away from anything. Seems like I've gone from yin to yang - deep suburbs to downtown. The hostel it's self has a real cool vibe too it, sorta what I imagine Sam's head to look like on the inside; big colours, lots of random art and shit on the walls. Overall psychedelic vibe. They got a sound system throughout the halls and I'm not sure whether it's radio or what, but the tunes are pretty sweet. Soundgarden, Offspring, Chillis, Tool...it's like a 90's music dream time as far I'm concerned.
Currently I've only met on person, Jim, who I'm rooming with. Seems a nice guy. Comes from Essex so we've been doing some marvelling at how hard it is to cross the road and either small details which rear their head. They're serving free dinner tonight, big up the FREE part of that. So with a bit of luck I'll meet some people when I roll on down to that.
Oh also I think I'm gonna be a young'un here. Dunno if that assumption will be correct. The drinking age is 21 and from what I've heard they're pretty strict on ID, so that kills any socialising off in terms of pub crawls and the like, not that I'd be drinking but y'know.
As a side note I just caught the end of the film The Marine...fucking hilarious movie.
