Today I got a job at the Oaks Hotel! The word "hotel" here does not always refer to a place to sleep, but rather often indicates a pub house or bar. In this case, it is a giant, beautiful establishment with four different bars, including a huge outdoor beer garden, complete with its namesake, an enormous oak tree, and several heaters for outdoor seating year round. While bartenders don't work for tips, I can't argue with the "weekend rate" of $27 per hour. Although it's all relative to the cost of living; today I looked at buying an extra pair of running shoes. The same shoes that cost me $95 in the States cost $275 here. UGH. Good thing I got a job after all! Here's the link:

Then just how much is an icy pint of Foster's ?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the job.
Dad. Good job on the comments!! I can see them, so you must be doing it right :) FYI--Foster's does NOT exist on tap here. It's the American version of Australian beer, but no one here really drinks it. And a pint goes for about $5.50-6. Pretty comparable! I have only sampled a couple, as I'm not drinking during my training, but my favorite so far is the Cooper's Pale Ale. It is quite yummy! Thanks for commenting!
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like I finally have a reason to visit Aussie land...I know a bartender! Need any salt down under?
ReplyDeleteSALT?!?!? What does that mean? And yes, you should visit...and bring Haley to swim against the Thorpedo...ha ha ha.
