Next Town posted Friday, January 09, 2004
Hey now, Glad to see many are leaving comments so I have some funny schtuff to read as well. Today seemed to be the worst time to experience my first real hangover. I had to wake at about 8am to pack my scattered belongings back into my backpack.and be out in only a few hours. Things never seem to fit the same as the first time it was packed. As I struggled to figure out how I was gonna pack and sleep at the same time, thought I'd lay down to think about it. Still managed to checkout on time to grab a city bus to Coogee beach, with my 100lbs of stuff between the 2 bags,.and find a overpriced hostel to pass out in. To explain the hangover I'll be doing a little pulp fiction thing here. Last night was an organized pub crawl, had one of the best times so far that I can remember. 60 people crammed in a small chartered city bus on an agenda to visit 4 pubs and included 1 free drink per pub included in the $35/pp ticket. I won my ticket the day previous, on a day long almost boring $29 tour. A tour organized by crazy surfers that enjoyed pointing out local attractions such as churches, Cockatoos, hot women walking by and the buildings in each town they got laid in. They were honoring people points for any crazy thing that is done throughout the tour that consisted of Palm beach with a light house lookout, Manly beach, and Kings Cross(The hood) for some drinks and pricey ice cream. Course the surfer guides suggested a nude beach run, not too many raised their hands for that one. For fun they picked on the only Canadian on the bus, since I already had points because I brought my Rollerblades they figured a nude run would put me in the lead. As shy as I am I just chuckled as well and they left it at that. Once everyone dispersed on beach I figured I'd go for it since only the people awarding points were near. So in the parking lot with my getaway wheels strapped on I dropped my drawers to my ankles for about 5 secs, scared some kids I'm sure, and then took off. Pleasantly surprised that it paid off and I won myself a free pub crawl ticket. Good times Good times. I Have pictures for all of these events except the x-rated ones to come soon. When the man who made this whole website possible is able to launch the photo portion, there will be many to view.
Now for the bad news, maybe someone out there will be able to help but I have developed some type of ulcers in my mouth, with that it brings sore irritation pain & high sensitivity. I'm told it's not the water because Sydney has great tap water. I asked a Chemist(Pharmacist) he recommended a doctor. Grrr. Oh, and I almost got bitten by a German Sheppard today. On the bright side, I'm in Australia, where are you?

Candice - 1/12/2004 Hey DW
Your problem with your mouth could have something to do with the water. People may say that Sydney does have good drinking water, but maybe your body just isn't used to it. The reaction you are getting is the mouth ulcers. I know that breast feeding mothers when they go on vacation, usually bring water from home or bottled water, because the change effects the baby.
But what do I know...I'm not in Australia...lol
Renee - 1/12/2004 Ulcers : stop sitting on the beach with your jaw dropped open staring at the ladies!! Obviously, the only thing you're picking up by doing that are germs.
"On the bright side, I'm in Australia, where are you? " ..... that's real funny Dwayne!!!
Thanks for the post card. :)
Chris - 1/10/2004 Just as you left our corner of Canada, it plunged into consistant -30 C weather, and let me tell ya, all the crazy surfers here have gone into hiding! By the way, the ulcers are probably from drinking sea water and staring at naked girls too long :)
