2009-02-16 Brisbane – Girl throwing up from bunk:


I’m getting a bit better from my illness. Still to weak and not ready for work. And I’m still in the four share room in the Citybackpackers Brisbane where I’m staying.
The guy from the UK has moved out this morning and now there’s a South Korean girl sleeping above me. She came home at around 3am. She is very drunk but managed to get into the top bunk. Most of the stuff she has is around here in bed. Makeup things, Mobile phone, Camera, Brush and so on.
It “rains” stuff as she crawls into her bed. At about 4am I wake up because I hear her throwing up. She threw up on the wall. Unfortunately for me there’s a 10cm gap between bed and wall so… yeah it came down.
I get up and look at her, give here a towel and make sure she’s awake so she does not choke. The room get’s this typical smell of puke. I’m still feeling very weak and can’t stand this smell to long. Grabbing my pillow, blanked and notebook and go to a sun bed close to the pool. So here I am now under the stars writing this blog entire and looking forward to see the sunrise.

2009-02-13 Brisbane – Guy peeing in the Room No.2:
It’s Friday the 13th. Raining outside and unfortunately I’m Ill. So I spend the last three days in Bed, resting trying to get well again.
I picked a four share room in the Citybackpackers Brisbane where I’m still staying.
There’s one Guy above me from the UK. He was drunk as hell every night since three nights. He can hardly talk or walk in this contrition. Last night he slept on the floor because he didn’t manage to climb up the bunk bed without a ladder or stairs. Tonight he got up. Fell out of the bunk and hit the wall with nothing but Calvin Klein Underwear on. They don’t really look sexy with a huge belly hanging over. He staggers over to the windows. It’s not easy and takes long to open them because there’s a weird mechanism with a crank handle that pushes out a chain that’s mounted to the window. After giving up on the window he turns to the trashcan and pees in it. Great not on the floor. At least not the most of it – good night.

2009-01-29 Brisbane – Pee on my Bed No. 2:
At 7am I come home, exhausted and tired from a long Night shift. As I sit down on my lower Bunk bed to take off my shoes I realize that the bed is wet. Yes it dripped down from the top bunk. I look up, there’s a girl sleeping. She must have had quite a night that she peed her pants.
I go to the manager of the Citybackpackers Brisbane where I’m staying. They change my mattress and sheets. But not the top mattress because the girl is still sleeping. Cloth, including my pyjama, that has been on my bed was also partly wet. I did get the money for the washing only after they get the money from that person that has peed. Unfortunately I’ve spend all cash so I wake the girl to get money for the washing. She tells me that she didn’t pee. Must have been the Irish guy that she had spend the night With. She didn’t give me any cash so I have to find a ATM and get some change. While changing the mattress I see that my Notebook was under the bed exactly where the pee came down. It’s all wet. Slightly my anger rises above my tiredness.
I dry my Notebook with paper towels and clean it with wet disinfection tissues and dry it again. Hoping that it’ll work. The silicon has stopped the liquid from getting under the keyboard.
Later when I talked to that guy (he was wearing a green t-shirt saying ‘free sex’) I found out that the Manager has charged him 100$ for cleaning and gave me 6$ for the laundry.
The hostel decided to change the lock on the room door so that’s the third night I could not get a good day sleep. Yesterday was a false Fire Alarm. The day before there were bed bugs in my Bunk so I ended up feeling itchy all the time.

2009-10-05 Byron Bay – Pee on my Bed No. 1:


After a long and amazing party night with Sarah we come home to the Main Beach Backpackers hostel in Byron Bay.
I sit down on the bed to get my shoes off and feel that I’m sitting in s. th. wet. There’s some beer of a tumble down bottle of beer on the floor. I stand up and search for my torch. While I observe the big puddle it drips from the top.
I look up and see a the Irish guy sleeping in the top bunk. He obviously has peed his pants. I’m looking for the Night manager but can’t find him. Instead I meed Sarah on the way to the bathroom. Tell her all about it and we have a good laugh as she looks at my bed.
I decide to spend the night under the stars at the beach and feel happy to hear that she wants to join me.
I make some long time exposure pictures and talk a lot until the sun rises.
When we come back the mess has already been cleaned up, the guy kicked out, the day manager apologizes and I don’t have to pay for that night. That’s how it should be.

2008-11-11 Melbourne – thief:


original Police Statement
»STATES:
My name is Martin B*********. I am a backpacker currently staying at the Home Travelers Motel in St Kilda. I’ve been staying at the hotel for approximately one week in room 13 which is a six bed dorm. There are five other people staying in the same room as me.
At about 8:30pm I left my room and went to the Coles Supermarket to get some stuff. I left my laptop computer with a portable hard drive on my bed but I have a lock for the laptop but not the portable drive.
I returned to my room about half an hour later, there were 2 males out in the front fighting each other. I recognized one of the males, he was wearing an orange shirt with fluro stripes one it. That male was one of my room mates and he slept on the bed underneath my bunk bed. I left the two males fighting and went back to my room.
When I entered my room, I noticed that my laptop had been moved. The power cord had been removed and a number of other cords had been pulled out. I then plugged the cords back in and at that stage I noticed that my portable hard drive was missing. It is just a black hard drive with a black leather case. I immediately went to reception to report that my hard drive was missing and the guy at reception phoned the police.The guy from reception went and grabbed the guy in the orange shirt’s bag from out of on the street because he was going to be kicked out.
A short time later the police arrived and there was a female police officer searching through the bag of the orange shirt man. The policewoman remove a blue Levi’s sunglass case from the bad and recognized the sunglasses as my own. I then informed the policewoman that the sunglasses and portable hard drive belong to me.
At no stage I did five the guy in the orange shirt or any other person permission to remove the sunglasses or hard drive from my bag.
Statement taken and signature witnessed by me at 10:45pm 11/11/2008 at St Kilda Police office«
Actually I thought about to go between the two fighting guys because one was my roommate, but decided first to assure my grocery’s in the room.
Still hat guy was suspicious. He’s an Australian Construction worker from Brisbane. Tried to sell obviously cheap faked opals to me with four digit price tags for 30$. The day before one other guy from the room told us that his iPod-Touch was gone. I’m so glad that I got the hard disk back. All my pictures are stored on it because they got to big for the internal disk.
That orange shirt guy was drunk as hell when he sole all this stuff, he also stole my laundry with my dirty cloth.
I meet him later in the tram by coincidence. He told me in a very bad attitude that they want to sue him in cord because of what I did.
And if I don’t want to go to cord I shall cancel the case.
Told him what he did to me and how much my data is worth for me. Tried to make him apologize. He did after I ask him to apologize but in a tone that’s clearly not meant serious.
I took no further steps against him. I got my stuff back. I’m not sure if he has learned his lessen but he seems to have enough trouble to get a job. A sue won’t help him find one and get his life on the right track.

2008-09-?? Brisbane – Hostel Sex and Puke:
Today I’m in a En suite (Bathroom included) Dorm. I’m having a shower in the afternoon. As I come out of the shower there’s a couple having sex completely naked right in the room. I leave the room and return late in the night.
A roommate warns me not to step there and there because it’s all full of puke. I want to enter the bathroom but he also warns me to go in there.
So I go down to look for the Manager of the Citybackpackers Brisbane. I tell him that the room is full of puke and that I can’t sleep in this smell. I ask him to clean it up. On the way up to the room he constantly asks me who threw up. I didn’t know so I couldn’t tell. Also it does not change the fact that the room smells. In the room he points at a big Irish guy sleeping in the bunk above me and asks: “It was him, was it?” I still tell him that I have no clue. He grabs the luggage of that Guy, tells me that I shall tell this guy where his luggage is when he wakes up and left with the luggage down to reception.
Great. The problem isn’t solved at all and that guy will not be happy that he’s sued for puking in the room without evidence and has to walk just in underwear down to the reception to get his cloth back.
I decide to knock at other rooms and ask for asylum. Got lucky there’s a bed free in one of the female dorms. And after all girls had been ask If I can sleep there I do so.
Next morning I go back to the En suite. The room has not been cleaned yet. The roommate tells me that they had thrown that Irish guy out of the hostel.
The guy who had the girl the last night would have declare against his Irish friend.
But what really had happened is that he got that girl so drunk that she threw up. And now they kicked out his friend for no real reasons.

2008-08-06 Brisbane – constantly sex in dorm:
As I got kicked out from the Citybackpackers I’m now staying in the Somewhere to Stay Hostel in Westend Brisbane. Got a nice small four share dorm room that I share with a girl from Sachsen, Germany.
Told her some of the Story’s from the Citybackpackers and people having sex in a dorm room. She reacted very enraged about it. Told me that if people would have sex in her dorm room she’d throw her water bottle on them and turn on the light, sat down on the chair and tell them to stop. She would not tolerate such a behavior. They should pick a private room.
Some hours later another person and a Irish guy moved in into the room as well. When I came home that night she had hung blankets at the side of her bottom bunk and yeah, the Irish guy was in the same bed and they were having sex. So I thought she would take a private room the next night.
They were doing it at least three times a day. In the morning when I get up. Afternoon when I came back and evening when I tried to sleep. After the second night I asked her why she does not move into a private dorm and she said that this guy will soon (two days) leave Brisbane and she can’t afford a private room.
Guess they spend the rest of the two days in bed.
After he has moved out a couple moved in. They were watching a movie on a notebook at about 9pm.
She jelled at them that she could not sleep because of the noise and how reckless they would be.

2008-08-04 Brisbane – Unfriendly Staff – got kicked out:
This morning I found a Key while doing my laundry. I returned the Key to the reception and ask for some reward. Cause there’s a 10$ Key deposit on each Key that people have to pay in case they lose a key. The Manager of the Citybackpackers Brisbane said in a harsh attitude “You won’t get any. That’s not how we do it.” I was surprised from the attitude he said this and told him “That sounds quite unfair to me as You would earn 10$ by me returning the key.” – He told me that he thinks I would steal food from the kitchen and that he can’t trust me. This accusation was shocking. Followed by a even more shocking one. The Manager kicked me out of the Hostel.
I went to the Somewhere to Stay Hostel in Westend Brisbane.

2008-07-/?? Brisbane – Guy peeing in the Room No.1:
I was working on a web page late at night in the dorm room in the Citybackpackers Brisbane. Suddenly I hear water hitting the carped. There’s a completely naked drunk Irish guy standing next to me peeing right on the carped. Heaps of stuff is laying on the floor where he pees on. Lucky lie not mine. I shout at him, turn on the light and try to get him away from peoples stuff. Then I go down to the night manager, tell him what happened and ask if he can clean it up. On the way to the room he ask me how that guy looks like . Turns out that the guy who peed is a friend of the Manager and has worked in this hostel for quite some time. The Manager apologists for that guy and explains that he can’t kick him out in this condition (drunk/naked). I tell him that I don’t care what happens to the guy. Just that I want the floor to be cleaned.
He tells me that the cleaning staff will do that tomorrow. So we have to sleep in a room with pee. – Turns out the cleaning staff never cleaned that pee out of the carped.

2008-07-02 Brisbane – Hostel Sex:
It’s my fist night in Brisbane. I checked in, in the Chill Backpackers in Brisbane. The hostel is the worst I’ve seen so far. It has no style no flair. The corridors are small and the rooms tiny. No place to put anything. I share a room with five Irish construction workers. It smells like shit and sweat in this room. There’s no window to open just the air condition. I make my way out as quickly as possible. Try to find some food in Brisbane. All restaurants, and shops are closed in this area at this time (around 9:30pm). Even McDonald’s is closed and seven eleven is currently being renovated.
I go back to the hostel, take a cold shower (warm does not work) and go to bed. Some Irish guys are already sleeping.
They don’t only snore quite loud they also fart and grind teeth. The air smelly and thick you could cut it in bricks.
I lay awake in the bed trying to get some sleep. At about one in the night the last Irish guy comes home. He’s totally drunk and has brought a girl with him. They are loud and noisy. She’s talking non stop. They just don’t care about other people in the room. They both hop into his bed and start to kiss and undress each other.
She continues talking while she rides him. “Oh what a good condom. Normally the condoms are crappy but this feels good. What brand is that?” Guy: “no idea – Saturn or something” She talks only interrupted by kissing, sucking and moaning sounds. Suddenly she says “You are to weak. I can’t come if You are not hard enough”. He says “It’s quite hard to get hard if you don’t shut up.” They continue for a while until she says “No – That doesn’t work. I can’t come with you. ” Then one of the other Irish guys says “Hey – do you like me to join in?”
The girl shuts up for the first time and the guy who tried to fuck her yells at the other Irish guy. “No – I can handle this!”

2008-06-?? Sydney – Couple puking while having sex:
I’m staying in the Billabong Gardens in Newtown Sydney. There’s a guy from Great Britain having a big birthday party tonight. He’s staying in this hostel since a very long time. Over half a Year already. They started partying quite early. Also his girlfriend visits him today. They haven’t seen since he’s in Australia. At around 11pm he’s not feeling to well and they go to bed. I was out late. When I came home it smelled like puke. I’ve been told this story from a roommate. The Couple tried to have sex but he couldn’t because he felt so sick of the alcohol. She still didn’t give up because they didn’t have sex for such a long time and she really want to do it. So she sits on him trying to ride him. He’s getting even more sick though the pressure on his stomach. So he throw’s up on her.
What made her feel instantly sick and also threw up on him. They stopped for a while to roughly clean up the mess. And yeah – they still did it in the puke.

Having read this you may ask yourself why I am still staying in Hostels. I honestly ask this myself too. Tried about three weeks to get a room in a shared apartment. Went to several interviews. Either it was to far from the center / workplace and I don’t want to spend to much time and money on transport. Or they didn’t have a internet connection or they simply decided for someone else to move in. It took me alot of time to look for the apartments, make an appointment, drive there, talk nicely to the people and ending up not getting or wanting it. There are cheaper and better hostels in Brisbane than the Citybackpakers. But there’s NO OTHER ONE with free wireless internet. And I need internet to keep in touch with you, to work as a freelancer on web pages or brochures and to apply for new jobs. Also I’m more flexible cause I can leave the hostel any day and move on to another city.
