On Wednesday night Megan and I took to Cairns city centre for our first girly night out together. The whole night was just crazy from start to finish really, it wasn't because we were really drunk or because we went to any insane night club or that anything spectacular happened. It was because the men were like animals, we both easily got bought in excess of 8 drinks each, we were approached and chatted up by loads of random guys too, I was asked at least 4 times if I was swedish... and if they weren't chatting us up or buying us drinks there was always someone staring. It was crazy. I have never experienced anything like that before, it was all so intense I couldn't relax in anyway... for the amount I had drank I should have been pretty drunk but I felt completely sober. I was so on edge. The thing is, is that we didn't look particularly nice or special in anyway, I don't really understand it. Maybe it was just the particular bar/club we were in? The Japanese girl I lived with had told Megan that its pretty hard to meet nice guys and genuine people here and they are all out for one thing... She seems pretty sheltered, we took what she said with a pinch of salt. It turns out she was completely right. Megan was loving it, me on the other hand... not so much.
Next time I think armed guards is in order.
