In Brisbane

i have been here for five days, and got some unhappy experience...

the city is not as friendly as i think, becos of the hostel. i cannot understand why is there only 1 YHA hostel in Brisbane (there are more than 5 in Sydney) and the hostel is usually fully booked. i have talked to other people who stayed here and they are also not satisfied about the hostel. it is not only too crowded but also not very welly arranged, and old and not very clean....for my situation, i booked and paid for 2 nites before i come and i paid again on the second day of my stay. however, the hostel remained only 3 rooms: 1 is 6ppl mixed-room, 2 is double room. if i want to stay in double room, i have to pay for the whole room. that means i can only choose to stay in mixed-room. anyway i stayed there for one nite, nothing happened but i had to move back to 5ppl female room after that nite...so trouble!!!
