i told you it was gonna be messy once I got back to perth!!!

where oh where do i begin? i got in last tuesday night and most people from broome were already here and drunk when i arrived so i had to catch up... we boozed pretty much straight thru until friday when the debauchery really began.

so friday night i guess you could say there was a lot of alcohol consumed... we started at the hostel and then went into town for a quick drink and to see some people that were in town from broome. there are at least 35 of us here now just running absolutely amuck... so after stealing my drink from one bar and just walking in right past the bouncers at another (i've perfected this.... haven't paid cover in A WHILE!) we ran into people we didn't even know were in town...

i don't remember much from this point on but it only got worse. around 11 kevin (this english guy who was in broome for about 6 weeks with us) and i end up in the peep show booth jamming coins into some machine so he can see some chick do her stuff. we get back to the hostel and decide that wasn't good enough, we're going to the strip show... oh goodness. you can only imagine! i was buying all the boys tipping dollars and just having a blast watching them go crazy. they reckon i got a better show then anyone tho as one of the chicks came up and shook what she had right in my face. a couple boys got private shows but other than that we all just sat around the table and the boys were entertained... we finally left around 4am and some of the boys decided they hadn't had enough and headed to the brothel (prostitution is legal in australia)... $120 for 30 minutes are you kidding me???

so we spent all day saturday recovering as sunday was to be another big one. the Rugby World Cup is going on here in Perth and as all my friends are Poms it seemed mandatory that we went... we started the day off at noon drinking at the Cottesloe Hotel right on the beach. Thommos came down and met us which was cool as I hadn't seen him since I left for Broome... well around 7 we made it to the game and continued drinking... the boys were off by themselves and vicki and i sat up at the very VERY top row of the stadium, but it was a blast anyways... england ended up winning 84-6... can we say blow out?? i had no clue what was going on but i swear i don't think i've seen that much patriotism even when in England! by 11 i was on to water and then passed out around midnight.

i didn't even bother leaving our room until around 3 monday. i really really didn't feel good. so then on tuesday and wouldn't you know i was on the move again... i've come down south to margaret river for a couple days to hang out before i leave for the states... that's right, it's hard to believe but i'll be back in the states one week from yesterday!! where has the time gone... it'll have been a total of 6 mos and it feels like just 6 weeks... so for those of you back in dallas i guess i'll be seeing you soon eh? for the rest of you, enjoy the rest of the time you have here and i'll sure i'll talk to you soon!
