Adelaide, ass end of nowhere
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
