What do you mean there are no hotel rooms? That was my intro to my first week long stint in Adelaide for work. I've been doing a fair amount of work for ETSA (power utility in SA) over the past year and they needed me to come over to finish as much as i could get done on a massive list within a week.

Follow up:

That week also happened to coincide with the Adelaide U2 concert on the Thursday night, which is why their were no hotel rooms available for the entire week. So while i could get a room for Monday till Wednesday, i couldn't get one for Thursday night.

After chatting with the PM (project manager) who was bring me over to do the work he suggested i go to the U2 concert as their were still tickets and take one of the girls i met on the European Trip who lives in Adelaide. Since i needed a place to crash for Thursday night i offered the U2 tickets as compensation for crashing on her couch. Lucky for me my company picked up the tab for the U2 tickets

As for the rest of the week my friend Natalie showed me round boganville and took me to a few diamonds in the rough where the food was quite good even if the people in their were eating soup with their hands!!!

The concert was a sell out with 60,000 bogan's and those unlucky Sydney & Melbourne people who missed out on getting a ticket to their local shows. We made our way in close to the ramp that comes out into the crowd so we could get a good look at the awesome show U2 were sure to put on.

I won't spoil the fun for the few ML'ers going this weekend but here is a little "tid bit" to wet your appetite

One thing i will say is..... TAKE YOUR MOBILES
