Alright so it's about 9:20am on Sunday morning and the Daylight Savings Time kicked in here last night so we "Sprang Forward" one hour. This pretty much means I'm a bit tired, but oh well! I was supposed to work a split shift yesterday but it was so busy in the afternoon because it was nice out and it was market day in Ponsonby, that I worked through until about 4:35pm. Then I was able to go back to the hostel and grab some food and check my e-mail and go back. I finished at about 9pm last night so that was nice!
A couple of things from my day at the bar:
1) I made $10 in tips!!!
2) A guy came in asking for a job in the kitchen and I heard a familiar American accent so I asked him where he was from. "Kallispell, Montana" Ha! Too crazy, so I told him I was from WA and we had a laugh, etc.
3) This was soooooo good I almost cried! A young couple walked in to have a drink in the courtyard and I looked down at his shirt and was speechless! Arizona State!!!! Hell yes! So I said, Where are you from? Have you been there? And he said no, but his really good friend has been going to ASU for the last year and he sent him the shirt. So I told him I just graduated from there and blah blah blah, but that seriously made my day!
Then I got back to the hostel last night and was a little tired but not in the mood to sit in front of the TV or anything so I asked Beate if she just wanted to go somewhere chill and have a glass of wine or Baileys (she loves Baileys). Of course she couldn't refuse after the mention of Baileys and so we went in search of a laid-back place. We decided to try this one place called "Dorothy's Sister" which looked busy enough to be good. After walking in and ordering martinis, we sat at the bar and talked with the bartender. It honestly took took me about 5 minutes from entering the bar to figure out that we were totally in a gay bar! Haha, I can't believe it actually took me that long to figure out! The martinis were absolutely fantastic and I had an excellent glass of Shiraz after it and before we left. It was definitely a colorful scene and an interesting experience to say the least! We had a great time and they even took our picture for New Zealand's gay magazine! I'm going to have to look that up...maybe I should send you all a copy? Haha. Anyways, it was a great night!
Today I don't work until 5pm so I'm hoping to hit the seafood festival!
