How did you hear about Calypso?
From Scotty’s in Mission Beach.

Are you enjoying your stay here?
Yes...a little bit hung over today, because you and the rest of the staff convinced me to go and see a live band last night. The atmosphere at this hostel is great!

How was it?
It was awesome! I didn’t realize that Australia has such great music until I came here to Calypso. The staff are great, I’m so happy I went out with you all.

Yeah, we have some wicked music here in Australia. Where are you off to next?
