Ola to my fellow Melbourne Backpackers! What a fantastic effort by the all consuming, All Nations Backpackers tequila army last night, Mexican Monday. The 101 tequila club has its first member with non other than yours truly, el gRInGO, consuming my hundred and first tequila last night, after embarking on the campaign only two weeks ago. But many records were broken last night, BJ, consumed 33 tequila’s in one sitting.

But it was the team, consisting of mainly melbourne backpackers, living in the party hostel in Melbourne, ALL NATIONS. Put in a phenomenal effort with a total of 227 shots consumed in one night, UNFKNBLVBLE! Needless to say there have been many a sighting of poor sore headed gringo’s spread across the hostel this morning. But being a backpacker is not always about self-inflicted intoxication endurance, Half the backpackers today have gone to Philip Island to check out some penguins, what better way to ignore that hangover. Who doesn’t love penguins? And who doesn’t LOVE ALL NATIONS Backpackers!?

All Nations Backpacker Bar, Melbourne, has got to be a contender for best bar in the world. It was only a couple of weeks ago, that the entire Australian Rugby League team got hammered in our little bar. Then this weekend, we had some of the Central Coast Mariners’ players drink in the bar after they played Melbourne Victory. Then Later in the same evening who should walk in, but the Sexpo Showgirls. A few dominatrixes also joined the party and I received a decent spanking, free of charge!

The fact that these premium strippers came back 3 nights in a row, says something about this backpackers bar, the bar staff, and the atmosphere. The venue may look a bit grungy, a bit worn down. But nearly every night people feel the need to personally meet the Melbourne Backpackers Hostel & Bar staff and express their gratitude for having the bar like it is. This was no more apparent when on Sunday night, in walked the worlds number 1 porn star, Jessie Jane, and her workmate Rylie Steele. Thats right, they didn’t go to the sexpo after party, they came here to hang out with Melbourne Backpackers, at the All Nations bar, Melbourne. LOVE.

ps.  photos will be up soon…

You know you are drunk when you are peering into the Backpacker hostels’ liquor licence trying to figure out if it is technically legal to buy another round of shots after the bar has closed and you already know that you can’t.

It was at this exact moment that Tyler, All Nations Backpackers Hostels’ resident Van Wildest, in all his wisdom decided that he should sneak up behind me and pull down my pants. On a scale of 1 – 10 of outrageousness, a little stunt like this would register in decimals I must concurr. However a combination of subtle (yet for this episode, integral) precautionary measures have been in place over the last few weeks related to my belt. My belt is a little old, so I have made some adjustments to ensure it maintains more than enough strength to hold up my pants.

I guess our Melbourne backpacker Tyler has a bit more strength than he thought, I guess my pants were a bit older, I guess my belt adjustments are a little too good. But because the man grabbed me by the back pockets and yanked them at an extreme pace with force, the integrity of my trousers was destroyed, and he ripped them clean in half. The back half to be precise. I was left stranded at the window, with my new tight white undies on full display.

But when the spotlight is burning, you fight fire with fire. I took the shredded fabric, tied it around my head and had an absolute belter of a Sunday session at a backpackers Bar across the road. It was a three figure subtraction from this backpackers savings account, and the last thing anyone saw of el gRInGO was the man galloping off and into the darkness. Don’t be concerned, just LOVE ALL NATIONS BACKPACKERS!

Melbourne is famous for many things, but not nudity.  Now, I have been living in All Nations Backpackers for quite some time now, and getting nude doesn’t always shock the people anymore.  It may shock many other Melbourne Backpackers, but not here at All Nations.  Anyhow, a few months ago, Karl and I challenged ourselves, we had a big target to reach in the bar, and at the time it seemed extremely dificult.  But should we reach the target, Karl and I would swim across the Yarra river, fully naked.  However, what with Spring Racing Carnival, the Australia V England game and awsome support from all fantastic staff, the target was reached.  And the day came where we had to man up and pants down.  The Yarra river has a swimming ban on it.  It is heavily polluted from all the CBD runnoff, many water vessels occupy the river, and it is extremly cold, so Karl decided that we do it during the day.  Guessing that we would most probably be arrested, I decided that we should do it right in the heart of Southbank, possibly the most populated bit of the river where we could have gone.
 
We assembled a small team of backpackers from All Nations Hostel, no doubt keen to see possibly the most outrageous thing they would witness in Australia.  We parked the All Nations bus beneath the Eureka Tower, tallest building in Melbourne and streaked through southbank at a steady and proud pace.  As i approached the edge of the bankment, Thoughts rushed to the head as to what type of dive I was going to do, there isn’t many occasions when I am going to be filmed by multiple cameras entering a major river of a capital city, in the nude, the dive had to be pretty sensational.  And I’m not talking a tripple backfilp half pike with minimal splash factor (scores 9, 9.5, and 10 from the gallery.)  But at the very least a proper big front flip would be obligitory.  Anyhow, we did it, there were flips, Karl stunned us all with a full massive backflip without warning. We swam across to the awaiting towels on the other side and we didn’t even get arrested!  It was quite the achievment, and all I can think of now is, ‘hmm, what are we going to do next time?’  alas felow Melbourne Backpackers, you will no doubt be the first to know! Check out the Youtube video right here!  And Remember, LOVE ALL NATIONS!
