Now everything is set up for me to leave Sydney. Rodrigo, nice brazilian bloke, just came from New Zealand and stood over the backpacker for a couple of weeks until I found him. Now he is living here with me and Kat and soon he'll take over the lease, giving me the bond and assuming the fucking responsabilities of being da man of the place, such as paying bills, rent and making sure everybody else does too. I'm stoked cause he is a surfie, so it's not a waste to have him living in front of the beach, what's the point of being able to check the surf if u don't fucking surf? Anyway, it will be in good handswhen I leave. Photo: Rodrigo and his Swiss girlfriend at the backpacker.
