A cuppa tea please!

Did i say blue sky?? No seriously.. what blasphemous words! I wish i said nothing because sure enough today it was raining!!!
Today i had a relaxed morning... until the guy at my hostel came begging me to move to another room. Heheheheh now this hostel i'm staying at is seriously strange! Its like one big house that has been converted to small tiny rooms with these wooden thin partitioning. Last night i was trying to get some sleep but these two Australian girls next door where rambling on about their boyfriends...''and yeah yeah...in astraajjaaa this.. and Josh that... yeah yeah''. Sorry Mark..but why do you guys shout so much to speak?? :-P Anyways this place is really shabby... if the lock on the shower door is broken they wont unscrew the broken lock but they would just fix on a new one.. so everytime i get in the shower there are 4 broken locks and oh there's the good one! Ha! So much for laziness i guess.
Well after a late breakfast i took an afternoon tour which was mostly chinese & indian tourists, the 2 loud aaastraajja girls, and a nice German girl who i got talking with and spent the afternoon with. We visited a couple of plantations - mainly a strawberry farm and rose garden, and we also visited this butterfly park where they had this enclosed area filled with these butterflies in all shapes and sizes and as you walk in they actually perch on your head and your shoulders! It was quite surreal! This fairytale moment was ruined by the chinese group in our tour who were running around with their cameras getting all excited and screaming 'butterflieeeesaaaaaa'.. yes guys we know they are butterflies.
The most interesting stop was the tea plantation where first we saw these beautiful green hills where the tea is grown, and after we stopped at the tea factory where we learnt the process of tea making. One fact that i do remember is that it takes 5 kilos of tea leaves to make 1 kilo of tea.. so thats a lot of work for the guys who work the fields.
Well that is pretty much my day. Tomorrow i'm getting a 6 hour bus to one of the islands and hopefully it wont be raining there too!!

    To answer your question, we shout because we are good at it. Australia loves to shout. We shout each other drinks, we love the song "Shout" and our accent is soooo sexy that we just want everyone to know how sexy it is and the best way you do that is by shouting.

    It's that simple.
