Party cathedral

A busy week working, which is good and quite sad all in the same way. I'm not going to start talking about work since that is extremely boring and is of no use to anyone.

Looking forward to moving into the flat since hostel life is starting to wear thin. For the most part it's fine but there's some dude that's funking up the place at the moment which is not ideal. For some reason the guys in my room also seem to think it's OK to have detailed conversations about the day at 8.20 in the morning. Before 9am = not cool.

Met some pretty cool people so far, obviously Greg since he lets me borrow his lappy and doesn't complain when I launch into some diatribe about video games. There's the girls Maddy, Rosie and Chloe who are doing a similar thing to myself in terms of living and working here for the year. I actually should extend a shout out in thanks for the endless stories they seem to provide on a regular basis, so kudos for the material. In addition there's been a good number of people in the hostel, some good, some bad and some totally mental. Some highlights:

Boris - an Eastern European guy who was extremely stern in his greeting. Also shouted in Czech during his sleep which was great

German Ninja guy - the first guy I met on arrival. Moved like some kind of silent assassin during the night and didn't wake anyone. Top in my opinion

Canadian guy - seemed OK but for some reason decided to get naked when in the room far too often. Which was once

New Canadian guy - Conspiracy theorist. What more can you say? In fact can't say much since he's now at the same table as me!

Mika Hakkinen - well that's not his real name but he was Finnish. Was a vegan by choice and even paid the extra on his air fare as carbon offset. What a guy

Anyway that's it for now, I'm hoping the TV room has been liberated since the film today was Confessions of a Shopaholic. Riveting. The title of the blog is dedicated to Michael, a really awesome German guy who was in Greg's room. Top guy and referred to a club as a 'party cathedral' and I've decided that is the best thing I've ever heard.
