#16 Unusual conversation with an Australian Hostel Worker in Scotland.

Him (While putting doonas in their covers): So, how long you over for?

Me: Three months.

Him: That all?

Me: Yeah, was gonna stay longer, but you’ve got to give your DNA and stuff now to get a VISA.

Him: Geez.

Me: Yeah, didn’t think it was worth it in the end.

Him: Don’t want to give them your DNA, hey. What have you been doing?

Me (Laughing): Yeah, It’s more what I might do later.

Him: I’m heading back in October, then off to Ireland. (Pausing in thought) I wonder if they need all that stuff over there.

Me: Not sure, I only checked for the UK. Why, what have you been up to?

Him: Nah, that stuff was when I was a kid, couldn’t get me for that.

Me: .......

Him: Besides, my mates got done for it, so I doubt they’re even looking.

Me: .......cool.
