Day 4 Sept 23rd

Got up at 9 again as it's impossible to sleep any more in the hostel. Spent the whole day walking around handing out resunés, won't find out if I had any success till next week though. Spent most of the day in Eaton mall, which is pretty amazing. Absolutely massive. Handed in the resumé to loads of places so hopefully will hear back from one of them. While I was looking for places to hand in the reumés I happened to walk across a movie shoot. I was talking to one of the employees who was extremely helpful about work.and mentioned that the movie was called Jumper and Samuel L Jackson was in it but wasn't sure if he was filming today. 30 seconds later Sam Jackson walked right past me as if we just past on the street. I just struggled for my camera and by the time i found it he had gotten into his car and was ready to shoot off. He really didn't look like he was in the form for any fans.
Afterwards I went to Eaton mall and handed out loads of reumés. After that I went back to the hostel and hung out with Fiona and Jan. 2 of the nicest people i've ever met. We ended up drinking all night on the cheap and then headed to a club that was supposed to be €15 in but we managed to sneak in for free. Club was ok, we danced our asses off and left after a short while. After lots of drinking we went back to the hostel where we got lots of free drink from the locals. Jan told us about his time in the army when he was a tank driver which seemed a bit crazy. We danced and partied until we couldn't any more.
All together it turned out to be one of the best days i've ever had. Really started to appreciate the whole hostel atmosphere. I wrote this after a good 10 pints so not sure it makes any sense but still one of the biggest laughs i've ever had.

Jan(German) and Fiona(Welch), 2 of the nicest people i've ever met. We clicked straight away. Don't know what i'll do when they leave. Feel like i've known them forever.
